if anybody can help me trouble shoot these errors i would really appreciate it. I'm not a veteran programmer and am not sure what the bottom errors mean. I don't have access to my php.ini file, and I can't find any resources that explain what the 'SMTP' port is or how to format it into my line 38 as it explains. Can anybody give me some direction or assistance?

 

Thank you .

here's the errors for anyone who doesn't feel like fillng out the form to see them...

Mail send failure - message not sent

[JAY6390]

it's because you've not set up the SMTP server. To get rid of the undefined indexes add

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

at the top of your php

[mrMarcus]

the very last paragraph was the only relevant information to the problem at hand.

 

pretty self-explanatory .. "Failed to connect to mailserver ..."

 

you need to have access to a mail server .. if you are signed up with a hosting company, get their mail server credentials, otherwise, you're going to need to install a mail server on your computer.

[lemmin]

Undefined index just means the index is undefined. Do a print_r($_POST) in your send_request.php file to see what IS defined.

[bossman]

both of your answers were very helpful. I will contact our host and see what they can do, thank you so much.

Reply on the fly...

I am not sure about your scripting since i'm mobile and cannot fathom the codes. But i can however assist you A BIT in the email server part...

 

Since your sending via gmail(i assumed the "from" is you), then you need to set an smtp port to 587 using TLS connection... Google "PHP gmail setting"... I'll check back in again when i get back home... Hope it helps

[bossman]

well thats not the permanent 'from', i just put that there as a test, i wasnt sure what to put there actually. my supervisor is in the process of getting me the mail server connection, but i would appreciate it u check back on this post cuz i might run into more issues. Thanks for your help and generosity

[shamuraq]

i'll do my best. I hope you won't have to administer the mail server and that your company gets it with an admin support or u'll have a dump load to worry about SSL/TLS (i mean you have to use these security features lest ADOBE(god screw them) will screw your company for any breach of security)

[bossman]

ok i have received my information for my mail server... but im not sure what to do with it...

 

its...

 

mail.adobedayevents.com

 

and our $from address is

 

admin@adobedayevents.com

 

will i need to get into the hosting package to configure anything? or is this all the information i need to get this thing working?

[bossman]

anyone?
