mail should work straight outta the box if PHP works, unless you compiled it in some weird
way. I installed using the RPMs for my production box and it works with the same path to
sendmail. Here's an example of working mail code:

mail("joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx", "Invoice Notification from JoltinJoe.Com", "$content", "From:
billing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx\n");

(It should all be on 1 line, of course...)

2 quick questions for you. Is PHP parsing the script? Did you modify the php3.ini file to
accept the PHP tags (<? instead of <?php)? Just a couple of stabs in the dark.
