PHP email function error

[prog]

HI,

I am using the following email function to mail

Code: Select all

<?php
$to = "xxx@xxx.com";
$subject = "test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers))
{ echo "Mail sent"; }
else
{ echo "Mail failed"; }

?>

Im getting the error :

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "127.0.0.1" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

But mt PHP.ini settings are:
SMTP 127.0.0.1
smtp_port 25

Anyone plz help...

Hello prog.
You need setup mail server on you machine to send mails.
Install Hmail server (it's free and great software) then configure your php.ini

;=========== snippet from php.ini
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP =192.168.0.12
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from =validaccount@192.168.0.12
;============== END OF SNIPPET==============

note: You have create simple rule on your mail server to send mails without authentication(for localhost only)
Plus you have to change:
validaccount@192.168.0.12

to your needs.

I'm using it and i would like to say it works like charm for me.*At least on my network.
