SMTP in php.ini

[947740]

Would someone mind telling me exactly what I have to do to allow a server to send email through PHP scripts?  I know you have to at least edit the SMTP settings, but I am not sure what else you have to do.

The SMTP and smtp_port must point to a valid public email server (unless you only want to send email locally/to yourself, in which case you can install a mail server that is not publicly connected to the Internet.)

 

If you are trying to send though an external mail server, then you will need to use SMTP authentication against a mail box on that mail server. The php mail() function does not support SMTP authentication, so you would need to use something like the phpmailer class that open a socket connection directly with the mail server.

 

If you describe more fully what you are trying to do, someone can provide more specific information.

I want to build a php file that will send out an email with information to all of the subscribed users when an event happens, in this case the result of a baseball game.

 

I just need to know how to set up the server so it will send emails.

 

Thanks PFMaBiSmAd
