colap Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php It is windows 8, wamp server is installed. What package/software to install to send email from windows? Which code to take: <?php // The message $message = "Line 1\r\nLine 2\r\nLine 3"; // In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap() $message = wordwrap($message, 70, "\r\n"); // Send mail('caffeinated@example.com', 'My Subject', $message); ?> Or <?php $to = 'nobody@example.com'; $subject = 'the subject'; $message = 'hello'; $headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); ?> Is it needed to write "From address" through mail function? Where to configure "From address" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch0cu3r Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I recommend you use an existing SMTP service, such as gmail and use PHP scripts such as phpmailer or swiftmailer for sending emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootstah Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 What package/software to install to send email from windows? Linux! Ha! Just kidding. I agree with Ch0cu3r; setting up email servers sucks. There's lots of very affordable SMTP services these days, like Gmail, that can get you up and running with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
