OK, this is driving us crazy - in order to tell PHP where to route mail created with the mail() tag, you have to specify a SMTP server. Everything I've seen says this can be done in PHP.INI, which is the PHP configuration file. We can't find this file anywhere on our OsX box. It's a standard install. Anyone know where this is supposed to exist under OsX or what it might be called? Thanks!

  In the FAQ part of this website http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ is written, that you have to create the php.ini in order to get mail() worked. For more information go to the website. Greetings Klaus

  Thanks! We tried it and it works, however, has anyone noticed a slow response on mail forms? Everything else seems very fast, PHP or not - but the mail forms can take up to 15-20 seconds even for a very simple form.

  I created /usr/local/lib/php/php.ini containing
  [mail function]
  SMTP = smtp.mac.com
  sendmail_from = pbljung@mac.com
  
  and restarted apache, but I still can't get mail() to work. Any tips?

  Did you ever get your mail() function working? I'm trying the same thing and so far can't get it working. I have managed to get the sendmail to send a command directly, but when I try it with PHP and mail(), I get a message in /var/log/mail.log that reads gethostbyaddr(192.168.0.116) failed: 3. I do have the PHP.INI file as described above and my test.php script shows it being set properly.

  Do this:
  
  Make the directory first
  
  sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
  
  Then make the file and restart apache
  
  sudo touch /usr/local/lib/php.ini
  
  and BiNgO you have a PHP.ini file ;-)
• PHP.INI - correct path

  Unfortunetly for me the Entropy site specifies a path (/usr/local/lib/php.ini) that did not work for my system (OSX.1.4) - the path that finaly worked is /usr/lib/php.ini
  
  Take a look at the output of a <?php phpinfo() ?> - item six (Configuration File) specifies where your instilation is looking for the php.ini file.

  Well, shoot. Got PHP.INI to be read, and the mail variables set correctly. But now my sent mails from the php-based pMachine... instead of erroring like they did before, they just disappear into the ether.
