Sending my form using my ISP SMTP

[crazylegseddie]

im sure this is a novice problem and ive found it hard to find similar sources that integrate with my form. All i want to do is link my form to send to my specified email using my ISP smtp. Here is my code:

<?php
$firstname=$POST['FirstName'];
$lastname=$POST['LastName'];
$email=$POST['Email'];
$comment=$POST['Comment'];

$toaddress = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'You Have A New COmment';
$mailcontent = 'First Name: '.$firstname. "\n" 
	        .'Last Name: '.$lastname. "\n" 
                        .'Email: '.$email. "\n"
	        .'Comments: '.$comments. "\n";

$fromaddress = 'From: [email][e-mail][/email]';

mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromaddress);

?>[/COLOR]

if anyone could help me incorporate my ISP smtp here I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank You.

Is your webhost also your ISP? Most ISP's these days use IP filtering to determine who can use thier SMTP server.

no my webhost is seperate. It was not suitable to use my ISP as the host. Ive checked sources, which says this can be achieved usig my smtp details including user & pass or by using phpmailer but Im having trouble integrating them with my form!

depending on how your host has their php configured with email, you may be able to use ini_set() to alter the smtp server setting

You can connect and authenticate with your ISP's SMTP server with>
phpmailer.sourceforge.net

Here is any example>

<?
require("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mail->Host = "1.1.1.1"; // SMTP servers some IP or host
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "[e-mail]"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "yourpass"; // SMTP password

$mail->From = "[e-mail]";
$mail->FromName = "Joe";
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]");
$mail->AddReplyTo("[e-mail]","somesubject");

$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
// wanna send some attachements use this below, correct the path or filename
// $mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz"); // attachment
// $mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg");
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML

$mail->Subject = "Here is the subject";
$mail->Body = "This is the <b>HTML body</b>";
$mail->AltBody = "This is the text-only body";

if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Message was not sent <p>";
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}

echo "Message has been sent";
?>

<?php
//create short variable names
$firstname=$POST['FirstName'];
$lastname=$POST['LastName'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];

require("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mail->Host = "smtp.myaddress"; // SMTP servers some IP or host
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "[e-mail]"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "***"; // SMTP password

$mail->From = "[e-mail]";
$mail->FromName = "Ben";
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]");
$mail->AddReplyTo("[e-mail]","comment");

$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
// wanna send some attachements use this below, correct the path or filename
// $mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz"); // attachment
// $mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg");
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML

$mail->Subject = "LimoTek";
$mail->Body = 'First Name: '.$firstname. "\n"
.'Last Name: '.$lastname. "\n"
.'Comments/Requirements: '.$comments. "\n";
$mail->AltBody = "This is the text-only body";
