Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "

[Leinster13]

Hi guys

 

I am a newbie with PHP and I have been trying to solve this problem for 3 days..

 

Ive set up a booking form on my website to be sent directly to my email once the client clicked on the send button..

The problem I am having while checking these pages on wamp is that the booking form is ok but when I click on the send button the following message error appears

"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 C:\wamp\www\fluffy_paws\booking_form2.php on line 27"

 

When I check online I have this message "500 - Internal server error.

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

 

Are my codes wrong???

 

My webhosting is Blacknight.com , Im on Windows Vista, my internet is a dongle with O2 ireland

 

Thanks for your help!

Do you have a mail server installed on your localhost? If not your emails going nowhere .

I havent a clue... how can i find out?

Wamp doesn't have a mail server set up by default.  So most likely you don't.

 

I always check my mail scripts on my public server AFTER I verify that everything else works.
