Hello I m new to php. I have uploaded a simple php script in my web root - http://www.mydomain.com which will connect to my DB. But strangely I CANT connect to my DB if I put the hostname as my real hostname - mydomain.com . But if I use - localhost , it works. How come its working as- localhost when I am not on localhost. <?php echo "HELLO WORLD"; $connect = mysql_connect("localhost","username","mypassword") or die ("couldn't connect db"); // it works //$connect = mysql_connect("www.mydomain.com","username","mypassword") or die ("couldn't connect db"); // it DOESN'T work ?>

Hello I m new to php. I made a simple html form with two textboxes- username and password but when I run them they always have some default values- admin and a password. Where did they get this default value. I didnt put any value in them. I use xampp as php-mysql server . I have another question. What is the difference between- If ( $variable ) and If ( isSet($variable) ) and if ( empty($variable) )

I m new to php programming. I want to know what is the meaning of double " -> " in php method calling. Like the one in the following example - $this->load->library('class_name', $config, 'object name') Does it mean that the "load" method has the "library" method in it...I m confused..

I tried with PHP mailer but it didnt work. All problem is with correct server name and port or something else.

I have tried several ways to send mail but I hav failed and I m veryyyyyy upset. Now I have few question about mail sending in php 1. I cant/dont use the smtp server of my ISP. Now which server I can send my mail thru? 2. I want to use yahoo smtp mail server. Now do I have to set yahoo smtp server name and port in php.ini? Cant I set these (both name and port)dynamically in php. if so, how? 3.If the server name I m using uses authenticated smtp, WHERE and how to put code for this in php . If in mail header then in which format? 4. I hav come to know the following things from website of yahoo- Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication) I am also giving u my account details My yahoo id- bhonest_4ever2007@yahoo.com (created 2day for the test) password- abcdefg Now would anybody pls pls tel me or write me a simple code by which I can send mail without using my Isp's smtp server. DO I need to use those info. in php.ini . Or is there any way to add them dynamically in php. I once tried with the following code but nothing happened <?php //mail($recepeint,$subject,$msg,$mailheader); //define the receiver of the email $to = 'bhonest_4ever@yahoo.com'; //define the subject of the email $subject = 'Test email'; //define the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with \n $message = "Hello World!\r\nThis is my first mail."; //define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n $headers = "From: tanvirtonu@yahoo.com\r\nReply-To: tanvirtonu@yahoo.com"; //send the email $mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ); //if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed"; echo "Thank You <b>Tanvir</b> for ur message"; echo "<p>Your mail address is <p>$to </p>"; echo "<p>Your message was <p> $message </p>"; ?> //I set server=smtp.mail.yahoo.com and port=25 in php.ini and restart the server . NB. If I configure php.ini in php code using ini_set(), wouldn't it be permanent next time. But what happens if I host these php file in another server. There can be a lot other php files trying to do the same thing. Isn't it a problem. I can also send mail using a free smtp server and a mail client in my windows pc which requires default 25 port for smtp. Should I use this port-25 with the above server name smtp.mail.yahoo.com[/code]

I cant send a simple mail from my pc. I dont know smtp server name and port of my ISP. Cant I use any other smtp server and port to send my mail. Wud u pls tell me the name as well as the port of such smtp server. Can I use yahoo's smtp server?
