php and mail

what does php use to send email?

There's a Mail() function - if that's what your asking about. I don't know the nitty gritty of how it works though.

thanks for the reply. i think i figured out it though. i was acutally wondering about the nitty gritty stuff of how it is sent, and i found that you need a smtp server installed.

or point you IIS to your email at you ISP. so it would be mail.yourISP.com or something like that

k, thansk. i'll look into it.
