    Hi all,

    I'm having a problem with php at the moment that stops me from sending emails. When ever I try to send an email using the mail() function I get the error messsage shown below:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail()

    As far as I can find out it would apear that when php was installed it could not find the sendmail program!

    Does any one know how to fix this?

    Most of the sites that talk about this problem say that recompiling will help. Any ideas how I recompile php? as I used yast2 to install it.

    Any help will be great.

    Thanks in Advance,
    Nick

    Spec:
    Suse Pro 9.1
    Kern: 2.6.4-54.5-smp
    PHP: 4.3.4
