Dysan Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi According to the http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mail.asp website, PHP requires an installed and working email system, in order to send emails. Can anybody tell me what king of program this needs to be, where I can get hold of one, and how I install it?

amites Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 what kind of server are you using? Linux servers tend to use sendmail, simple program you can find it on google, if you're leasing space then you probably already have it available Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/89774-php-sending-e-mails/#findComment-460148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprichard Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think you can tell if sendmail is installed by looking at the phpinfo. When I check mine, I can see that sendmail support is enabled. Just put this in a php page and go to the page on your server. <?php phpinfo(); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/89774-php-sending-e-mails/#findComment-460155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysan Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 I am currently using "Xampp" as a testing server. The server eventually will be ran on a windows server.
