PHP Learning

I've got this code:

<?php

/* recipients */
$to  = "Arien Talabac <[email protected]>" . ", " ; //note the comma

/* subject */
$subject = "Test Mail";

/* message */
$message = '
Test message
';

/* To send HTML mail, set the Content-type header. */
//$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
//$headers  = "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

/* additional headers */
$headers  = "From: TurtleTips Auto-Mailer <[email protected]>\n";

/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

But I get an error on the last line (mail($to...):

Warning: Server Error in d:\apacheroot\phppages\sendmail.php on line 22 

I defined my SMTP server in the php.ini file to be mail.*****.**.home.com (replacing the *s ) but it still doesn't work, and I can't find any error log to see what error was generated.

Where it says "//note the comma" Did you try ripping off the comma? The comma means you're going to send it to another recipient as well.

No change. How can I find out more details about the error?

[chrisjk]

did you get rid of the dot as well, like

$to  = "Arien Talabac <[email protected]>"; //note the comma 

since that is the string concatenation char.

[filburt1]

Yeah, but I still get that one error (well, warning). Does the PHP module have log files so I can see what "server error" occurred?

[chrisjk]

it must be some sort of config problem because PHP's compile errors are a lot more useful than that.

Anyway, check this for error log stuff

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php

theres also a link by some guy for a handler class.

are you using Apache or IIS?

I also think you can't do this

$to = "Arien Talabac <[email protected]>" . ", " ; //note the comma


it needs to be this

$to = "[email protected]";

if you use apache it has it's own log file. check out what it says..

I'm using Apache, but there was nothing but 404s and Access Denied errors in the log file.
