Sending email from my computer

asdfghjk · #1 18-Nov-2003, 23:13

Hi,
I'm trying to make a newsletter and here is my code.

PHP Code:


<?
$Subject=" Newsletter";
$Message="Welcome!";
$From="Newsletter@mydomain.com";
$To="me@mydomain.com";
mail($To, $Subject, $Message, $From);
?>

I want it to send emails from my computer but it wouldn't work. What do I need to do? I have pear with PHP (PHP4.2.3) How do I use it?
Thank you very much!

are you getting any error messages?

have you set the smtp value in php.ini to your isp's mail server?

The error message I'm getting is:

Quote:

Warning: Failed to Receive in localhost

and it points to the line which has the mail() function.

How do I know what should it be set to?

Thank you very much!

- My ISP shows that information on their web site. Look for incoming and outgoing mailservers.

u go to php.ini to search a word named "smtp", u then set your own smtp, eg: "smtp.tm.net.my" and send_mail from=" your username", after this,all go fine.
