Hy! I have a little problem, that is about php.ini. The SMTP is localhost and want change it during the script. I think it’s possible by using the function ini\_set();… i am doing this but doesn’t work: ```php ini_set ("STMP","stmp.apie.pt"); ``` The PHP version in server is 4.0.6, and i don’t have the possiblity to change that option in php.ini, that 's why i want to change it during the script. thks ---

according to the manual you can’t set that during a script. [http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php](http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php) that should give you all the info you need. 🙂 ---

hmmm, it does say that it can be set anywhere… why do you need to set it? Maybe we can find a workaround… ---

I don’t think that is your problem. My server is set to localhost as well and I send e-mails like crazy… [http://www.bluefinatlantic.com/chmod.php](http://www.bluefinatlantic.com/chmod.php) ---

It might be that your server has the mail() function disabled. Many servers do that to deter spammers from sending out mass mails. You might just want to check with them… or is it working, just not 100% accurately? ---

Look, the function mail is like that: $message=“hello world!”; mail("nunoleao@mail.com", “the subject”, $message, "From: webmaster@{$\_SERVER[‘SERVER\_NAME’]} " ."Reply-To: webmaster@{$\_SERVER[‘SERVER\_NAME’]} " .“X-Mailer: PHP/” . phpversion()); isn’t it ? ---
