PHP scripts being unable to send emails:
================================

Find out which php.ini your PHP is using. If you're using the stock PHP that 
came with BlueQuartz, your php.ini is probably located here:

/etc/php.ini

If you have the updated and more modern Solarspeed PHP, then your php.ini is 
located here:

/home/php/etc/php.ini

Edit it and find the following line:
;sendmail_path =

Change it to this:
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f admin

Then save the changes and restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

That will solve the issue.
