memsaber Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi guys. Really basic question here. I have created a mailto PHP script, which is not working when I try it out. My website is currently offline and not running through the webserver. Does the website need to be online for the PHP script to work? Many thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231870-php-101/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethnet Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 To send emails, you need to be online. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231870-php-101/#findComment-1192920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My website is currently offline and not running through the webserver. Does the website need to be online for the PHP script to work? Many thanks I'm assuming that the script exists on your website or uses the mail server on your website. In the first case yes your website needs to be live so that you can access the script. In the second case your website can be down but your mail server needs to be live. Cheers.
