grim1208 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Have you tested this online through your ftp or is this a local host error? What are you using for local host? Apache or IIESI ask this because I setup dozens of mail() source code, and I can't get it to work locally, it might be something with php.ini but I think it's just wether or not th feature comes with the localhost. (probably wrong :P) But when I test this online (just have the email go to me during testing) it works perfect on all the servers I have ever put it on.Let me know, also I have a little better script I could give you for the email.Let me know Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3890-setting-phpini-to-use-mail/#findComment-13591 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonMariner Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 The error on your local machine is down to a configuration setting...Open your php.ini file and find the setting 'SMTP =' (its probably set equal to localhost.Now you need to change this setting to teh smtp of your own internet provided. I am with telewest so mine isSMTP = smtp.blueyonder.co.ukyour will be different I imagine.If you have outlook or outlookexpress as your email app on you pc you can find the smtp you us in there....TOOLS > e-mail accounts > view or change... > change. You shoidl then see a form and on the right hand side you will see 'Outgoing mail server' it is the text in that box you need to copy adn paste into your php.ini file.Oh and when you try it on-line again tell us what erros you are getting.....
