  php 32bit mail() function on 64bit OS Reply Contact I have been having some problems sending email using the mail() function within php. The problem I believe is that the version of php I have installed is 32bit and its on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7. I believe our hardware is 64bit so purchasing a 32bit version is not an option neither is converting IIS 7 into a 32bit as we are using the web exchange. Also it is possible to install a 64bit version of php but using mail(); is still windows 32bit and I will be needing to install plugins which are not supported by the 64bit version. I have been searching google for 2days with no proper solution for my problem, indeed finding the problem posted on google is a problem. Each time I try an execute my mail($to, $subject, $message); php file I get the error page 500 - Internal server error. I have attempted mb_send_mail(); also but I have no idea what the difference is. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many PHP apps use PHPMailer class instead of relying on PHP mail() function. May be that will work for you? http://ruslany.net
