Sending email

Hi Friends
I am using Php on NT server with Apache. When I try to send email using the following command

mail("ashish@hotmail.com", "Test subject line ", "Test body of email", "From: ashish@expo.com\n")

It was giving the following error :-
Failed to connect

then I downloaded one s/w called ftgate then after installing that the error changed to :-
Warning: Failed to Receive in e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\coemail.php on line 2

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\coemail.php on line 3

Can anyone tell me how to send mail and give the full coding currently I am using the following mail program :-

<?php
if(mail("ashish@hotmail.com", "Test subject line ", "Test body of email", "From: ashish@expo.com\n"))
{
print('mail successfully sent');
}
else
{
// print('oops! something didn't work right above, check the syntax of your code');
}
?>

Bye

It's working us111 but I am facing the same problem in setting the session variables for myself I receive the following error :-
Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\loginnow.php:3) in e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\loginnow.php on line 29

Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\loginnow.php:3) in e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\loginnow.php on line 29
For this do I have to do some changes in php.ini only or something please let me know I will be very thankful to you but this session_start() is working in a new file.
Bye
Thanks

It means that you send something to the browser before sending header:

print "hello";
session_start();

won't work and you will get a warning

Hi us111
You are right if I right something before session_start(); then it prints hello but after that gives the same two warnings I had told you before. Please tell me how can I remove these warnings and how can I create session variables in PHP.

Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\loginnow.php:3)
in e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\loginnow.php on line 29

Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\loginnow.php:3)
in e:\php_workarea\jayesh\php_project\loginnow.php on line 29

Wherever in my code I right session_start(); the error comes in that line, in this case I have written in line 29. Can you please tell me a way whereby I can remove this error. Please also tell whether I have to make some changes in php.ini file or not.
Thanking you in advance
