Emails and php.ini

[dblevins]

I am trying to sent up my website hosted on Apache 2.2 to send emails.  Unfortunatly my email sever requires SMTP authentication.

 

I have tried this script but with no luck

 

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = mail.btinternet.com

smtp_port = 25

Username = myname@btinternet.com

password = ************

 

I have of course used a password and proper email address

 

Can anyone help with this

So your code looks like this?

 

$to = $email . ', ' ;
	$to .= FORM_MAILER;

	$headers["From"] = MY EMAIL;
	$headers["Subject"] = "LALALA $date";

	$smtp["host"] = SMTP_HOST;
	$smtp["port"] = SMTP_PORT;
	$smtp["auth"] = true;
	$smtp["username"] = SMTP_USERNAME;
	$smtp["password"] = SMTP_PASSWORD;

	$msg = "$date\n";

$msg = wordwrap($msg, 70);

$mail = Mail::factory('smtp', $smtp);

	$mail->send($to, $headers, $msg)
		or die('Error accessing SMTP server.');

If your SMTP requires authentication then you cannot use the mail function. If your server has PEAR, I believe that has a function that supports authentication.
