@NogDogSep 14.2009 — #I normally use [url=http://phpmailer.worxware.com/]PHPMailer[/url] for my PHP email tasks. It comes with its own SMTP class which allows you to send the emails via whatever SMTP mail server you have access to (such as your ISP provider). This way you can test your app locally by using SMTP, then on the live server version change a couple config settings to send via mail(), or even by directly calling sendmail on a UNIX/Linus host.
PHP beginner – trying to test contact form
I’ve just started using PHP and I’m working on the script for a contact form. I.e. someone fills in details on my website and when they click ‘submit’ I receive an e-mail with their details and comments.
The problem:
I’m working on localhost (XXAMP) and when the mail is supposed to out I get the following message:
[COLOR=”DimGray”]Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at “localhost” port 25, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:xampphtdocs_
[B]How can I change the settings so that the e-mail is sent and I can test my form properly?
