Hi,
I am getting this error message:
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 d:\websites\resadmin\jobs-cafe\jobs-cafe.com\web\Auction\startauction.php on line 44
when the coding tries to email the user a confirmation letter. My server people told me I need to change the "local host" on the email bit to certain numbers, but i'm not sure how or where I do that on the page. I'm really not familiar with php, so any help would be much appreciated....I really don't see where I am meant to change the smtp email setting....
Thanks!
Carmen
