[PaulCheung]

It must be my birthday today. As I have managed to solve my two knottiest problems today.
Here is the solution to my email problem

<?php session_start; ob_start;
    ini_set("SMTP", "smtp.isp.com");
    ini_set("smtp_port", "25");
    ini_set("sendmail_from", admin at isp.com);

   $to  = "johndoe at hotmail.com";
   $subject  = "Enter your subject here";

   $message = "YES IT WORKED @ LONG LAST
                        I can put anything I like here";

   
   $from  = "FROM: admin at isp.com "; 
   mail("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$from");

   echo "The email has been sent";
?>

I hope this helps others who are wrestling with the same problem

  Thanks for the solution. I've tried it and it did not work for me
  changed php.ini to reflect change rebooted my system. Don't really understand why it is necessary to download QK SMTP 
  Has all my problems been something to do with XAMPP under windows??

    ok that will not really work 
    you should use SMTP=localhost then download QK SMTP Server to make this work.

    Yes, that is correct.
    Has this anything to do with my problem?

      Did you restart your web server (Apache?) after making the changes to 
      the PHP.INI file? This has to be done for the changes to take affect.
