Dan_Mason Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi, I am trying to use a mail function with php to send a user a new password, selected randomly from the dictionary. This is the error i keep getting: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 3306, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\AppServ\www\Fakesite\user_auth_fns.php on line 164 This is what i have changed in the php.ini file like the error said. [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = Post.viatel.net smtp_port = 183 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = me@example.com ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ;sendmail_path = ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode. ;mail.force_extra_parameters = Even after changing and saving the php.ini file, The error message still comes up the same! any ideas?

nitation Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It looks as if you trying this from your local machine(Your computer). -Sendmail is probably not configured. Do you have an idea on how to use Mercury mail? what version of Apache are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
