Try changing
| Code: | if ($success)
echo "The email to $to from $from was successfully sent";
else
echo "An error occurred when sending the email to $to from $from"; |
to
| Code: | if ($success){
echo "The email to $to from $from was successfully sent";
}else{
echo "An error occurred when sending the email to $to from $from";
} |

Ain't nothing wrong with that, doesn't need correcting.
And php.ini is most likely in C:/windows or The directory of the php inturpretter under windows, don't know anbout other OSes.
Search for sendmail and similar topics because I can't be arsed to quote someone explaining about mail servers and php.
