What’s wrong with this…? I don’t get an email back…
Also, does the from address have to be a real address? If I run this on a computer that doesn’t have Outlook Express, will it not work? How can I make it work on computers like that?

<?php
$to = "asjjohnson127@aim.com";
$subject = "testing php emailing";
$from = "asjjohnson127@gmail.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
$message = "Your username is " . $_POST['username'];
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers))
    echo "Mail Sent.";
else
    echo "Problem with mail.";
?>

    If your running the script on a local server you’ll need to configure the php.ini look for the following and change to your ISP’s SMTP server.

    [mail function]
SMTP = smtp.isp.net
sendmail_from = me@isp.net

    You code will send email, its an issue with your SMTP configuration.

    Another way to do it is set SMTP to localhost then use a SMTP service http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html usually runs on port 25 If I remember correctly.
