mail() returns a true/false value to indicate success or failure.
Though I can never remember which means which, and the docs are not too
clear...
if (mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'test', 'test')){
echo "mail returned true<BR>\n";
}
else{
echo "mail returned false<BR>\n";
}
Also, there's some way of examining the mail queue for sendmail. I have
absolutely no clue whatsoever how this is done, and man sendmail is entirely
too long and convoluted for me to try to find out. :-) But you probably
have more patience and/or are smarter than me anyway.
If you're like 99.999% of the users that mess up, you left off the quotes in
php.ini:
sendmail_path = "/usr/local/bin/sendmail -t"
The quotes in the sample in php.ini were for real, not just for show.

Subject: [PHP] mail() test method
Hi people
My mail() script does not work, sniplet is simple that could not go wrong. I
suspect there is something wrong with the php config on the server. Question
is that how do I check it out if my assumption is correct? Is there any
method that make php to write out something of the mail() does not work?
Jack
