However i keep gettin errors, any ideas?

 

<?php

?>

Warning: 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

Pretty much just what it says. You have to go into your php.ini file and setup the smtp. Get setting from ISP and put them into the php.ini file

 

something like this

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = smarthost.coxmail.com

smtp_port = 25

sendmail_from = [email protected]

 

if your smtp server requires authentication you may want to download the phpmailer class. I downloaded it and put it in my includes folder under my php install and that makes it available for every script you write.
