Newbie with Mail Question

[ndbuk]

Hi There,

 

Hope you are all well? Sorry but yet another Newbie here. Im trying to get a script working on PHP5 in Linux. I need to be able to send a mail when an action has been completed.

 

So far i have:

$to = $email;

$subject = "Quota Change";

                $message = "The Quote for: $username has been changed\nYour new Quote is $quota";

$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\nReply-To: [email protected]";

$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );

echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";

 

I now need to be able to send it via a remote server for example mail.testdom.com, username 1 password 2

 

Just wonder if somebody could point me in the right direction?

 

Many Thanks

NDB

You would need to use SMTP Authentication, which the php mail() function does not support. You would need to use one of the 3rd party phpmailer scripts which do support SMTP Authentication.
