bflosabre91 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I'm trying to create a simple email form where it automatically sends a quick message a user inputs to a hardcoded email address. the form i use looks like this: <html> <div id="body"> <form method="post" action="sendmail.php"> <table id="emailform"> <tr> <td>First Name: </td> <td><input name="firstName" type="text"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Last Name: </td> <td><input name="lastName" type="text"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email: </td> <td><input name="email" type="text" /><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">Message:</td> <td><textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="40"> </textarea> <br /> <input type="submit" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div><!--ending div id= body--> </html> and the actual mail sending code is this: <?php /*Here we are going to declare the variables*/ $firstName = $_POST['firstName']; $lasName = $_POST['lastName']; $email = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['message']; //Save visitor name and entered message into one variable: $formcontent="VISITOR NAME: $firstName\n$lastName\nFEEDBACK: $message"; $recipient = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Contact Form"; $mailheader = "From: $email\r\n"; $mailheader .= "Reply-To: $email\r\n"; $mailheader .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Failure!"); echo "Thank You!"; ?> and this is the error i get "Failure!PHP Warning: mail() [function.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 D:\Template\sendmail.php on line 13" Any help I would really appreciate.

pikemsu28 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 you need to setup your mail server in your php.ini file [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = {address of mail server} smtp_port = 25 currently it appears to be set to 'localhost' Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/56710-feedback-form/#findComment-280094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
