PHP Mail Authentication

edgarasm · January 17, 2014

Hey there

Wanted to ask a question with my SMTP setting not authenticating

I get an error like this :

PHP Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 530 SMTP authentication is required. in file.php on line 190

Even tho i provided all the details for the SMTP to authenticate .

<?php
	 include '../header.php';

	'town_city',
	'county_option',
	'post_code',
    'phone_number',
    'agree',

because you code still contains an mail() statement -

$sentmail = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

Can we see the updated script at this moment?

Have you checked for actual errors using error_reporting php functions?
