Help .. I cant send mail with php

Flavs83 · #1 06-Jan-2008, 11:02

Hi all,

It is driving me crazy with email on php. I keep this error:
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:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\PHP+MYSQL\sendtest.php on line 8

PHP Code:


<?php
$email = "something@hotmail.com";
//$message = "$name<p>$email<p>$msg";
$message_cus = "Thank you for your input. You should receive a response within 72 hours.<p>Regards,<br>Hill Technologies";
$headers = "From: [email]something@yahoo.com[/email]";

//mail("something@hotmail.com","Website Inquiry",$message,$headers);Insert Applicable Email
mail($email,"Hill Technologies",$message_cus,$headers);
?>

Please help!!! Thank you.

What is your PHP version?

Oh, and make sure there is not any anti-virus/firewall programs blocking the port.

I am using php5.2.0 or 5.2.3. I tried it already .. i set my anti-virus and firewall to allow port 25 but it did not work ... do i need to have outlook or some email server??

You do need an email server for php to send email. You can probably use your ISP's SMTP server for this.
