I have this error when I attempt to check out from the shopping cart. The source code I used is identical to the book's. Can someone help me with this please?

Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\website\test\ecommerce\checkout3.php on line 234

Have you checked the sendmail_from directive of php.ini? php.ini is located at C:\Windows\php.ini, or whatever your system root directory.

I did. This is what I have in my php.ini file (extracted):

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [email protected]

What else do I need to set? Thanks ;)

Do you still see the same error message after setting that directive? You may have forgotten to restart Apache, which is required for ini changes to take effect if PHP is installed as an Apache module. And of course you can simply provide the 'From:' field in the call to mail.

If you've taken all of these steps, then it would perhaps be better if we could see some code.

Rich
