Hi guys,

I am extremely new to php, and the guestbook code and instructions you have built have been incredibly helpful for me. I have got everything to function as required, learning as I go along but I am yet to get the email notifications to function.

I didn't know why until I discovered that the host company I am using have some procedures in place with php and mail scripts. They require that I use an email address that is registered to the URL name. So I set up a ******************* email address. This wasn't enough to get the code to work though, and after doing some reading I have found that I need to incorporate the following code:

<?php
ini_set("sendmail_from", "user@yourdomain.com");
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers, "-fuser@yourdomain.com");
?>

I am very google hungry, and infact most of the entire website im building has been done by me finding and adapting code. However I am not sure how to add the above into your existing guestbook code.

If someone could just point me in the right direction I would be incredibly grateful.

Open gbook.php in notepad and find all lines that start with

Code: Select all

mail(

Each of these lines ends with

Code: Select all

);

Add this before the "ends with" code:

Code: Select all

, "-fuser@yourdomain.com"

(that is -f plus user@yourdomain.com)

Then open settings.php in Notepad and just below

Code: Select all

ini_set('log_errors', 1);

add

Code: Select all

ini_set("sendmail_from", "user@yourdomain.com");
