Re: PHP mail() function

[BButterworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Brian,

I got the impression or was wondering whether it worked because searching 
around, I found these links:

http://alanseiden.com/articles/zend-brings-php-to-ibm-i5os.html
http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=5151&hilit=mail 

Of course, one is for early Zend Core and in the other, Zend Server beta 
is mentioned. When I initially looked in the php.ini, I found this:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

Maybe it should say "For Win32 and IBM i only." In any event, I changed it 
to reference our SMTP server, and it didn't work. In hind sight, that may 
have occurred because I didn't cycle Zend Server. We decided to revamp our 
website based on a PHP-based CMS and due to time constraints, contracted 
the work out. So I am still learning the ins and outs of PHP on IBM i. 
Even still, it has been a smooth transition and PHP seems to work great on 
the system. After more trial and error, we did get the mail() function 
working, though the contact module of our CMS was still not functioning. I 
see it is today, so our developer must have figured the problem out last 
night. Thanks to everyone who responded.
