Hi all,  
im new to php so please be easy on me 🙂  
im trying to send an email from flash using php, but for some reason it wont work. Im testing locally to see if i can do this with this code.

// code used  
\<?php  
mail(“[didosh@wanadoo.fr](mailto:didosh@wanadoo.fr)”, $subject, $message, “From: PHPMailer  
Reply-To: $from  
X-Mailer: PHP/” . phpversion());  
?\>

// output  
**Warning** : Failed to connect to mailserver, verify your “SMTP” setting in php.ini in c:\phpdev\www est\mail.php3 on line **2**

i have no idea what "SMTP"is or how to find it even less about the php.ini file

any help would be greatful
