PHP mail() function

[DAMAN]

I am new to PHP scripting and using my website to test on a live website before production.

Is the server's php.ini file setup this way:

SMTP = mail.yourdomainname.com (i.e. charlotte.com)
sendmail_from = chosenalias</font id="red">@yourdomainname.com

TIA

The SMTP server is set in the INI file.

The send from is phpmailer@discountasp.net

You can change the from address by adding a customized header



<?php
$to = "someone@test.com";
$subject = "Test Mail from PHP";
$out = str_pad("This is a test", 20);
$header = "From: chosenalias@yourdomainname.com\nReturn-Path: chosenalias@yourdomainname.com\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $out, $header);

exit;

?>
