PHPJunkyard support forum

Yesterday I downloaded and installed 'MBoard' ('Messaage Board') from PHPJunkyard.com and installed it on a Windows XP Home Webserver.
The downloading and the installing went all well as far as I can see.
But one error is showing up - when someone tries to post a message:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 5.0.0 Need RCPT (recipient) in C:\wamp\www\sieino.mine.nu\oppslag\mboard.php on line 472Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 5.0.0 Need RCPT (recipient) in C:\wamp\www\................\mboard.php on line 472

I've been searching "all over" to find a solution, but haven't found anything helping me '!out'.

Anyone reading this who can help. . . .?

Do any other PHP scripts that send mail work on your server?

I did not check in MBoard, but in Gbook i had a similar problem.

The original code in Gbook was:
mail("$settings[admin_email]",$lang['t41'],$message);
I had to change it to
mail("$settings[admin_email]",$lang['t41'],$message,"From: $name <$email>\r\n");
to make it work on my windows computer.

I now looked in MBoard it uses the following code
mail($settings['admin_email'],'New forum post',$message);
Try adding the from part as i showed in my example for GBook.
I did not test, but the following might work:
mail($settings['admin_email'],'New forum post',$message,"From: $name <$email>\r\n");

Please let us know if it works or not, as others might have had the same problem as you.

If what Henrie suggested works you can set the default from address in php.ini and it should make all your scripts work.

No problem in my Gbook,
and now is my Mboard working as well:

The following mail code:
mail($settings['admin email'],'New forum post',$message);
changed to:
mail($settings[admin_email],'New forum post',$message);


Thanks for your help!
You can have a look at the result here. . . . I have just put it on the 'air'!
