Contact Form

[Kieran_Smith]

Hi

I followed a tutorial on YouTube and created a php contact form.

With the form fully filled in it will redirect to a thank you message but i don't receive the email and i get this message

 

 

 

"Warning: 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\TokyoCorner\HTML\Contact_Us.php on line 51"

 

 

A solution or any ideas would be most helpful 

 

Thank you

Thank you

are you running this on a live or test server? if it is running on a test server that is not live chances are you don't have SMTP set up. looks like you arw running WAMP server locally here is a tool you can download that will act as a server to test locally.

When you send mail...you must have a mail server (SMTP) to send the mail to. That mail server then sends the mail to its intended recipient at another server.

 

Standard Windows installations do not have a built-in mail server like Linux/UNIX, so you must tell PHP to what server you are going to send mail for transmission. You can read all about it in the mail() runtime configuration documentation.
