sendmail_from

[higgzler]

Hello,
I am trying to get a mailist list working through a script that i got called EasyLetter (heh). I have some programming experience but not alot with PHP so im a bit bamboozled. I've read other threads to try and solve my problem but still cant get it to work. I've tried putting

ini_set ("SMTP","mail.host.com");
ini_set ("sendmail_from","mail@host.com");

in my code to get it to send after receiving a sendmail_from error previously. Now my attempt to join the mailing list is timing out after 30seconds.

If its any help, the source is at

http://www.rdvrock.com/list/newsletter.php.

My server has regsiter_globals OFF but i have turned them on with a php.ini file - is this the right thing to do?

any help would be great..
cheers

higgzler:
The PHP online manual strongly discusses here why it is that leaving register_globals set to "off" is a good idea.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the help.

The page can be seen here ->

http://www.rdvrock.com/list/newsletter.php

The sign-up works, and I can send an e-mail to everyone in the list, but errors are still shown as follows:

<b>When signing up for the list:</b>
- Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Domains\rdvrock.com\

http://wwwroot\list\newsletter.php

on line 100


<b>When sending an e-mail to the list:</b>
Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 503 Bad sequence of commands. You must specify the recipients of a message before you can send it in C:\Domains\rdvrock.com\

http://wwwroot\list\newsletter.php

on line 139

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Domains\rdvrock.com\

http://wwwroot\list\newsletter.php

I dont think I can send a html e-mail with this script anyway, i may not use it but it'd be nice to know whats going on for future reference.

Cheers,
Glen
