On a Unix-like OS, the only thing you have to do is make sure PHP can find the sendmail program.

The only runtime configuration directive you need to set is sendmail_path Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

If you are asking how to have php send a email via a form you can always code it to do so

####################EXAMPLE######################

"<$>" should corrispond with a form field, alternatly you can use default text or address, if the item will always be the same.

<?
print "<html><body>";
$recipient = "$WHO YOUR'RE SENDING TO (field)";
$subject = "Re: $form subject field";
$message = "$form message field";
$extra = "From: your name goes here";
mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$extra);
echo "Sending...";
print "</body></html>";
?>

Hopes this helps
