Problem receiving email

[vang163]

Hi,

 

I'm using WAMP.

I have set the SMTP value & smtp_port value in my php.ini to those values provided by my local ISP.

The mail is send out, I think. Since i did not receive any error message and i receive the success notice after execution.

The problem is I did not receive the email being send out!!!!!! Which part did i overlook?

 

Below is my code:

$to = '$email';

$subject = 'welcome';

$message = "hello";

$header = "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n";

 

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $header))

{ // if email is send successful

header("location: success-notice.php");

exit();

}

else // if email is not send

{ echo("An error occurred while sending you an email. Please contact the site administrator.");

}

Does your isp require login for smtp?

my isp require login, can you show me the missing coding, thanks.

I think SMTP is still not enabled. Just a guess though

I'm not going to write your code for you, you need to do some more reading. I'm just pointing you in a direction, you have to try walking it.

Alot of ISP's block port 25 and port 80 so you cant host a web server without paying. Try to telnet into your smtp server and send an email that way to like a gmail account, if it works then its something is wrong with the code, if it doesnt that your isp is blocking you or somethings wrong with your smtp. Get a packet sniffer and that will tell you if it let your network with out any errors to. If you dont know how to telnet then google "send email from telnet" it will show you how to.
