Woops, I guess I totally mis-read his question when I posted just a few
moments ago. Sorry for possible mass confusion!
The mail() function in PHP simply calls your "sendmail_path" variable to
send the message. It assumes sendmail behaviour, which is why you will see
the default of /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i (maybe some -oem or whatever flag
too, I never use that). So long as your exim binary is pointed to by a
symlink at /usr/sbin/sendmail, it should work without any changes - but this
of course assumes you've already got a configuration file for exim that lets
you send email out :) If not, tackle that first before you try confusing
yourself with PHPisms.
Eli.
