I am using a flash contact form with a php script. I am new to this so please excuse the request. The code I am using has to be used with SMTP. I dont have this with my account only POP. Someone has told me that I can change the command so it will work without SMTP.

I have posted the code below.

<?

$to = " ";
$msg = "$name\n\n";
$msg .= "$message\n\n";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From: My web site\nReply-To: $email\n";

?>

If it is possable, Whats the command and where do I put it.

Any help with be good. Thanks in advance
Martin

The code that u wrote should work fine.
All you need is to set in your php.ini file the smtp host in your php.ini file there's something called SMTP = localhost change localhost to the smtp relay u want to use for e.g. smtp.urmail.com.

put this before your mail() function in your page
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>ini_set(SMPT,"smtp.urmail.com"; </font id=code></pre id=code>

and at the end put this
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>ini_restore("SMTP";</font id=code></pre id=code>
