Configuring PHP sendmail


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Firstly, my question is not a pure coding question but I couldn't find a better forum to post it. So I posted it here.

 

Here is my problem:

I have my own Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6. But there is no mail server installed on it. In order to practice my skills on PHP, I installed PHP on my server, everything is fine.

I tried to configure PHP.ini for sending mails through smtp.gmail.com. The changes I made in PHP.ini is here:

 

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = ssl://smtp.gmail.com

smtp_port = 465

 

When I try to run a simple mailer script, it genereates the following error:

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 D:\Web Sites\mytestsite\mail.php on line 6

 

The weird thing is, although I changed it, the script still tries to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25.

 

Does somebody have any idea about this?
