Failed to Recieve error sending mail

[dprevite]

Hi, I am running PHP under Windows XP and IIS. I am trying to do a simple send email program, but I keep getting the error \"Warning: Failed to Receive...\". I am not sure how to set up SMTP in Windows, or even how to configure the php.ini. Any help would be great.

$to = \"[e-mail]\";
$subject = \"PHP MAIL TEST\";
$message = \"This is a test email.\";
if(mail($to, $subject, $message)) {
	print \"<br><font color=green>Mail sent to $to successfully.</font>\";
} else {
	print \"<br><font color=red>Mail failed.</font>\";
}

hi dan,

1. in the case you use IIS, you use the build-in smtp-service of your webserver.
   this one you can configure via the IIS-console.

2. I suggest not to modify the php.ini for this simple task 😉

3. i think a closer look at you method
   'mail($to, $subject, $ message)' will help very much.

4. what do you think?
   which part throws this err-message.

hop that'll help you.

hi again 🙂

i think you try this mofiy code :

 
$to = "[e-mail]"; 
$subject = "PHP MAIL TEST"; 
$message = "This is a test email.";

$header = "From:_valid_email_adresse\nReplay-To:_valid_email_adresse\n";

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $header)) { 

print \"<br>Mail sent to $to successfully.\"; 

}
else { 
print \"<br>Mail failed.\"; 
}

Thanks, I played with it for a little while and found a few things wrong. I had to configure IIS's SMTP service a lil bit along with some other stuff. Thanks for the help.

Dan, what changes did you make to get it working? We're trying to get IIS and PHP working as well and keep getting the @Failed To Receive@ error.
