How to send an email from php5

[rahul_jjj]

I am new to Php and I am using php5 with apache.

 

I wanted to have a code which can send an email automatically from the system.. I have the below code with me...

 

$to = "[email protected]";

$subject = "Test mail";

$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";

$from = 'From: .'."test".' <[email protected]>';

$headers = "From: $from";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

 

Can anyone advise me on this as I am not able to send eny email with this.

$to='[email protected]';
$subject='This is a subject string';
$message='This is the body'."\n\n".'On multiple lines';
$headers='From: Your Name <[email protected]>'."\r\n";
$headers.='Reply-To: Your Name <[email protected]>'."\r\n";
$headers.='Reply-Path: Your Name <[email protected]>'."\r\n";
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) {
  echo 'Sent.';
} else {
  echgo 'Failed.';
}

I tried the same and it says "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 "

 

What all do I have to configure in php.ini file ?

Sounds like the settings aren't quite there - hopefully someone will be able to help you with this one as I've never had this error.

Upload on any php supporting server and check. SMTP is not configured on you local machine so u r getting that error
