The 10th day of the 31st month of 2001 is the same as the 10th day of
the 7th month of 2003 so I would guess that you have $pdate[3] and
$pdate[2] the wrong way round when you call mktime().
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php says that it should be
like this:
int mktime (int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int
year [, int is_dst])
Try swapping them :)

Jason,
It sure is a pain when there is absolutely no information to work from, isn't it! I
have managed to get PHP to
email out from under Apache/NT, but note that others find it a trying/testing process.
There are a number of
players in this scenario, so let's try to find out what information you do have, and
hit the 'most-wanted' list
first:
1 please cut and paste the [mail function] section of php.ini, so we can discuss those
entries
2 have you managed to get email out of the PHP, Apache, WinNT, SL Mail combination at
all?
3 are we talking NT4.0? at what SP level? does it also run IIS or PWS? is the mail
server on the same box as
Apache?
4 in php.ini try replacing the IPaddr with the SMTP server's DNS name
5 do you have any other application-application connection into SL Mail (that is
working), or are you able to
drop an appropriately formatted (email msg) file into its set directory and watch it
being whisked away across
the Internet email system?
I'm not sure how to answer your question about PHP, SMTP, and SL Mail. All SMTP
servers 'talk' to each other -
that's how mail is passed from computer to computer across the Internet. So in that
respect PHP needs to talk to
an SMTP server. However it does not need to have an SMTP server of its own/on the same
box as it/Apache resides.
Please advise,

PHP talks to a SMTP server on whichever box you have your php.ini pointing
to.
If you have set it to localhost, then you must have an SMTP server on your
local box.
Try typing:
telnet localhost 25
If it comes up saying something like:
220 MyComputer SMTP Server Ready
...then you're okay. If telnet fails to make a connection to that port then
you've no SMTP server and php's mail function won't work. If this is the
case either point php.ini smtp host to a machine that does have an SMTP
server, or set one up on your local box.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] PHP 4.0.6, Apache 1.3x and SL Mail
Hey there,
I'm running apache w/ php 4.0.6 on our win nt 4 server. I can't seem to get
the mail function to work. It doesn't complain -- nothing complains. The
email are not going through....
It's supposed to be a contact form that emails the info to me. I don't get
the emails. It's also supposed to record the data to a text file before it
mails it (the file remains empty).
I've checked my php.ini file and have tried localhost and the direct IP of
the server in the SMTP setting, and it still doesn't work.
We're running SL Mail, and I created an account for PHP. Does PHP use the
mail server (SL Mail in this case), or does it send it via SMTP on its own?
I'd also like my script to take the visitor's email address they specify and
put that in the email's 'from' address so I (and the other employees) can
simply hit the email client's reply button.
I'm not sure where the problem is, and I'm not highly experienced with php,
apache, or windows nt.
We are hoping to upgrade nt to 2000, but that may be a long time. This php
issue is what is holding up my new site layout.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure what to do, and don't
have many options left.
Thanks
