email via localhost

[rroobb]

Hello, 

 

I am using xp pro. Php was installed by someone else.

Is it possible to retreive user and password.?

 

Ultimately I would like to test php forms offline by sending data to ms outlook. How is this set up?

 

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can't send mail unless you have a mail server, and if you do there is a P.E.A.R function library dealing with internal mailing that will do what your asking.

Hello cooldude832, thankyou for replying, yes i am using apache as localhost which i have already set up on XP pro, ready to send data to MS outlook, do i still use the P.E.A.R function for this?

you can just mail or mime mail.

 

the latter is a pear function.

 

either way, what you need to understand is that php doesn't actualy send the email itself, it just tells the mail client on the configured server to send it
