PHP Email - My script has an error

[Osteel]

Hey everyone.

Ok so I have this simple Php script that simply sends an email. However, when I run the Php script online, it produces an error.

The Php script is:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
 }
?>

And the error is:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in \\nas-001\winspace002\10-carsahoy.com\www\Personal\email.php on line 5

Now Im assuming from this error that Im missing the from portion of the email being sent out, and when I tried inserting one, it gave me more errors.

So could someone please show me whats going on?

Many thanks

Maybe try changing the call to the mail function like this,

mail($to, $subject, $body, "From: My Site <[email protected]>\r\n")

or you could try using ini_set as suggested here http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php#63101
