php and mail - please help

Hi,
I am working on Linux Debian (Exim 3.36 mail server).
when i tried using mail command in command line argument,
its working and when i am using php mail to send mail
its not working.
Do i need to explicitly give sendmail_path.
I got no errors.
please help.
Thanks.

 

What is the error you get when you try to use php mail();?

 

I got error which says
Message delivery failed...Can't send email
i used the command
<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$from = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Hi test";
$body = "Testing Email";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "From:$from";

mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers))
{
echo("<p>Message successfully (root)sent!to $to</p>");

} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...Can't send email to $to</p>");
}
?>
please help me finding the error.
Thanks

I've seen in your other thread that you solved the problem?

 

you should use the phpmailer class. it makes working with emails in your script a breeze.
