ics php code error. Tried to input this into phprunner

Question

I'm trying to run the following code that generates ICS. Pluck it off the net and when I run it via WAMP, it prompts an error that create a mail log as follows:

mail() on [C:\wamp\www\ical.php:79]:
To: spencer@spencer.com --
Headers: From: My Name <spencer@spencer.com>
Reply-To: My Name <spencer@spencer.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----Meeting Booking----caf27bb576bd8abd889197ec8c0ebaf5"
Content-class: urn:content-classes:calendarmessage

It says error is on line 79 which is: $mail_sent = @MAIL( $email, $subject, $message, $headers );

Really puzzled on this. Any help???

Answer 1

Just use

mail( $email, $subject, $message, $headers );

@mail replace it with mail

Because mail function is accessed with mail() is not with @mail()

Note:Because @mail function will suppresses all warnings/errors , which mail() function may throw.
