d.shankar Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 My php code contains a mail function which sends mail with predefined hard coded values. The problem is it works in my organization and when i run it in home is get this error Failed to connect to mailserver at "mail.hackerresist.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() Please note that the code works in my organization but not in my home !!!

otuatail Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 No The header is is the last part of the emial, you just did it diffrent. In my example above $headers is the from part as in ... $headers = "Billy <gates@microsoft.com>\r\n" Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74470-mail-function-behaves-differently/#findComment-376314 Share on other sites More sharing options...

otuatail Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Sorry. That could be a killer. You could talk to other groups about this issue, but if you have tried the ini_set("sendmail_from", "root@mycompany.co.uk"); and have added the \r\n then these are the only known issues. Desmond.

d.shankar Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Is it possible to set like this ? ini_set("sendmail_from", "The Advertising Council <advsupport@advertising.com>"); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74470-mail-function-behaves-differently/#findComment-376878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
otuatail Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I don't know about that. I was handed ini_set by my web host. You need to get the format for the function.
