how do you send mail with php. im trying to code a user registration script that will send an e-mail for verification.
from what i know, php has the mail();
this is how im using my mail function
mail($recipient,$subject,$msg,$mailheaders);
everything seems to be ok but i read that you have to go into the php.ini file
and make some changes. does anyone know what changes need to be made.

I never had to configure anything, just make sure your sendmail is working properly, and the mail function should work.

how do i check if sendmail is working properly and if its not how can i fix it. when i run my scripts i dont get any type of errors it executes without problems but when i check the mailbox that i want to send the message to i dont get nothing. i think that i might have a problem with sendmail. thanks for your help
