    I doubt this, since phpbb needs MySQL database as well. Have you ever seen free websites that support PHP and MySQL?
    Of course. At least two of them. Only one supports mail(), tough. I don't know if phpBB requires it, but it surely works better with it.

    errrr

    mail() ???????????

    as in e-mail, or as in somthing else?

    Never the less, I think PHPBB is better than Vbulletin, because it's GPL.

    access

    Why would you use access (Shudder) !!!

    PHPBB running on a linux box, with my sql is the only way to go !!!

    Running it on a window$ box with my sql is acceptable I guess, but linux is far more fun !!!!

    IMP (by horde) for email isn't too bad ether actually, As much as I don't like web based e-mail.

    I mentioned this because previous forum was running on Windows platform with Access database. And you all saw how it worked...

    It's a PHP function that, surprisingly, sends an e-mail.

    your joking....

    your joking ? Does it really ?

    Heh. I only started getting into PHP very late. I usually leave things quite late now. I used to be uptodate all the time when I was a young watch ya call it, idiot. Hell I remember downloading the first web browser (Mosaic) in '93 and thinking, what a heap of sh1t !!!! No one is ever going to use this crap!! So I deleted it. How wrong I was!!

    I believe phpbb uses its own function for mailing that just opens a socket to port 25 on the localhost. The php mail() function has a lot of peculiarities that prevent it from working properly on some systems.

    The same host that doesn't support mail() doesn't support other ways of sending mail, such as opening port 25 on localhost or the destination host.

    PHP mail() is equivalent to running the sendmail (or whatever you have) binary from the command-line. This is why you can specify flags in the argument list for the function. There are many reasons why this may not work even if sendmail is running fine, such as the configuration for the uid the httpd daemon runs as.

    On servers in which you cannot do this it is usually still possible to connect directly to the smtp port (if the daemon is running) and give the HELO, MAIL, RCPT, DATA, etc. commands.
