I wasn't sure which forum to put this in - and figured this was as good as any.
I downloaded and installed MAMP. Seems to be working fine.
I've written a .php form. It displays fine. I keep it in MAMP/htdocs just like MAMP requires.
When I click submit, the email() function returns TRUE, but the mail never goes out.
Researching this some, I found the error log (the bounced email) in /var/mail/ in a file named toddburch (my machine name). The error says this:
(I edited my email address to say "myuserid")
So, the error says my domain is not valid, and I have to agree. Searching the net, I found a few hits about this, and found one approach that suggested I sudo pico etc/hostconfig to add a HOSTNAME=myuserid@mac.com.
I tried that, and got another error (It's all getting foggy now - this was done late last night). I backed that change out, as I noticed the info was 5 years old (circa 2002, and for Panther - I'm running Tiger).
Before doing the pico to hostconfig, I tried a sudo hostname=myuserid@mac.com and if I remember correctly, both this and the hostconfig change added the needed FROM: info in the email. But, I also changed my .php file to add an additional "From: " header at the same time. So... who knows.
Can anyone help straighten this out for me? It's not overwhelming, but there's a whole lot of config going on here that is untrodden turf for me.
Thanks, Todd
(If needed, I can supply my .php file and the php.ini file as well)
EDIT - I typed email() and I should have typed mail(), referring to the PHP builtin function.
