[Resolved] php.ini SMTP settings

[perpetualshaun]

I am running apache and PHP on my desktop, and I want to be able to send e-mails from my machine here. I know how to modify the php.ini file to a point, and had this working at another location. However, the other location was as simple as entering the IP address of the mail server. That is not an option here, as we are using RoadRunnner, a high-speed cable connection.

Here's what I see in the php.ini file:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP =localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = [e-mail]

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

I have not made any changes to those default settings yet, but I know that our SMTP host here is smtp-server.woh.rr.com. BUT, I need to pass my username and password for my primary mail account to get it to work. Could I do that w/ some of the "specified paramers" as noted above? And if so, what are the names for the SMTP username and password variables that I'll need to pass?

Thanks,

Shaun

i am running apache and php and have also configured my php.ini for mail.

if "smtp-server.woh.rr.com" is the address of your mail server
you could try

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp-server.woh.rr.com
smtp_port = 25

not sure what you mean by password and username
