Mail extension in phpinfo

Dear readers,

I am planning on a web site, and am looking for a hosting service that
supports L.A.M.P with the possibility to send e-mail from PHP. I
mailed a host with this question and he sent me a link to a phpinfo
file. I am not proficient enough to decipher what extensions are
active; I only found occurences of sendmail in the phpinfo file. Can
anyone tell me what to look for exactly to see if the mail extension
is installed?

TIA

With kind regards,
Jean Biver

With Linux all you have to do is set sendmail_path in php.ini you'll see
this in the phpinfo().

And it just has to point to there mail server, as to wheather there mail
server is working, well you'd have to ask.

In Windows all you need to have set is sendmail_from with an email
address and the SMTP address for the mail server.

so you would be best to ask, cause even if these values are filled in
they may not go any where.

James.
