Php mail need some help

[serenade2]

Hi everyone 😃

I never send before a email by using php . And when i need to send a message

I get this error 🙁

 Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

Can someone help me please 🙂

Have a nice day ! 😃

Well, one thing is you can't send an email on your private server a.k.a localhost with out some editing (Which I don't know how to do🙁).

You'll have to put that on your domain.

I know but I need an example. Thanks for your answer

can some one tell me how to configure my php setting
or make it work? 😃

I think that I got this problem because
I dont know how to configure my php.ini

in my local server to post email. message.

I want to know if its possible to send mail with a local server.

If not I would like to know how to configure my local server by changing the SMTP and the other thing that I dont know , to make it work.

Have a nice day everyone ! 😃

oh, ok!

First of your going to need the following.

Xampp (not Xampplite) - You can get this from apachefriends.org

install xampp and open up php.ini in your text editor
C:\xampp\php\php.ini

then press CTRL + F to search the document.

and type this in "[mail function]"

you should see something like this

[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 = "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"

; 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 =

replace it with this

[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 = "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"

; 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 =

that should work!

don't forget to change "[e-mail]" to your email address!

EDIT: I have not tested this

[serenade2]

Ok I use WAMP for my local server I gave you the configuration for my php ini

[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 =

[SQL]

Thanks for your help.

Can you tell me how to configure it please 😃

Ok first off semicolons ( ; ) make a comment.

so (this comes from your coding) your going to change this

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

to this

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [e-mail]
;Don't forget to change "[e-mail]" to your email address

now here comes the tricky part.

download this file and extract it.
then copy the folder "sendmail" in then main folder (not www)

http://www.mediafire.com/?2fxzn93cuj1

now change this code

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

to this

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

now your done!
