E-mail

[gazza52]

Hi All,

 

I'm new to sending e-mail via PHP and am having a few probs.

 

I am running Apache on a Win Vista on a laptop so no server.

 

I have a simple form which I want to be able to put in values Name, E-mail address and comments.

 

The e-mail address entered is then used to send the name and comments over to the entered address.

 

Now to the problem, I dont have a means of sending this e-mail so I installed soft talk mail server and configured a local domain of localhost.com, and linked this to my pop 3 mail account to provide e-mail access.

 

I then configured the php.ini TO SMTP = localhost.com and sendmail_from as [email protected] where user is a user configured in the mail server.

 

This setup does not appear to work, please advise or any links which talk you through this process.

 

Thanks
