what's wrong in the above code ... i get this error:

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\AppServ\www\Voting\registration.php on line 51

[metrostars]

$headers = "From: example@fromdomain.com ";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn "; 
$headers.= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn";

Can you use more descriptive titles please, you use the same title for every topic.

[jd2007]

i get this :

 

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 C:\AppServ\www\Voting\registration.php on line 51

We're sorry, sending confirmation mail failed.

[metrostars]

You have to have mail server installed on your testingf server, if you do, then go to your PHP.ini file and search for the bit in it and set it to this:

 

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = localhost

smtp_port = 25

 

; For Win32 only.

;sendmail_from = example@example.co.uk

Try using more descriptive titles in the future.

 

And what PHP version do you have

[jd2007]

are u a programmer or are u just learning php ?

 

i'm using PHP Script Language Version 5.2.1

[jd2007]

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = localhost

smtp_port = 25

 

; For Win32 only.

;sendmail_from = me@example.com

 

.....is already there...what to do ?

[metrostars]

Youy musn't have a mail server installed on your machine, you'll have to get one.

 

I recommend http://www.mailenable.com/download.asp the standard version. It's free, and doesn't take up much in the way of resources, and easy to use.
