these are required only if you are going to use the mail function through PHP, i.e. you want to send mail message through your PHP script. If you are not going to use the mail function it does not matters.
these values can also be later changed in php.ini file (in windows directory): //*php.ini [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP=<name or ip of your smtp server> ; for Win32 only ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from=<your mail address> ; for Win32 only //php.ini*/ regds, -----Original Message----- From: Douglas F.

One of the screens is asking for my SMTP server and the from address for the mail function. I am assuming that the SMTP server is the one that I use for getting and sending mail currently in Outlook. It is the one provided by my ISP. The from address is my associated email address. The screen defaults to "localhost" and me@localhost. Are these just examples? "B.A.T.
