ratcateme Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 well can you give us some more detail like what system are you using Linux or windows? and the php.ini values for SMTP, smtp_port and sendmail_path please if you dont have access to your php.ini create a simple script like <?php phpinfo(); ?> it will show all the details regarding your PHP configuration.

ashii Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 well can you give us some more detail like what system are you using Linux or windows? and the php.ini values for SMTP, smtp_port and sendmail_path please if you dont have access to your php.ini create a simple script like Yeah!! Rat Am Workin in Windows... dis is the settings in PHP.INI file [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = [email protected] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ;sendmail_path = "C:\xampplite\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t" ; 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 = the entire mail function is above... what is the changes that i have to do??? ??? ???

ratcateme Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 i see you are running a mail transport program? the current setup requires a mail server listening on port 25. i would advise you to get the full version of xampp as it has a mail transport system that can be used.

ratcateme Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 does your ISP provide mail services to you? if so your best bet at the moment is to set that section of you php.ini to ; For Win32 only. ;SMTP = localhost ;smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = [email protected] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = "C:\xampplite\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t" ; 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 = go to C:\xampplite\sendmail\ and edit sendmail.ini so that it looks something like [sendmail] smtp_server=smtp.your.isp.com smtp_port=25 that way your mail will go to your ISP and then hopefully to you Scott.

Yesideez Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 ashii - post some of your code as it could be your headers that are malformed and stopping mail() from working.
