(you might ask one of the mailing lists for further help) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-08-22 12:32:12] hholzgra@php.net i just tried "mail.ifrance.com" and it worked for me, it is definetly what you have to put in your ini file instead of "localhost" if you do not run a mailserver for yourself on your machine regarding your second problem: you should never put multiple problems in one bugreport! see "register_globals" in your ini file and the manual to see what happens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-08-22 12:00:29] cyberchand at ifrance dot com What have I to put in SMTP? My "mail.ifrance.com" ? I tryed that and it didn't work. However it is a working smtp server in Outlook Express, I use this SMTP in order to send messages from my adress cyberchand@ifrance.com I found the solution to my second problem, here is the code : <? $name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"]; echo "$name"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-08-22 11:05:19] hholzgra@php.net and you are sure you have a SMTP server running on 'localhost' as configured in the ini file ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-08-22 09:41:53] cyberchand at ifrance dot com I don't manage to send a mail : here is my code : <? mail("cyberchand@ifrance.com", "Object", "Text") ; ?> When I run this script the page tells me : Warning: Failed to Connect in c:\easyphp\www\essai.php on line 2 I work on Apache and localhost, here is my php.ini : [PHP_3] ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; About this file ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to ; read it, it must be named 'php3.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current ; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable ; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order). ; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory. The ; path in which the php3.ini file is looked for can be overriden using ; the -c argument in command line mode. ; ; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines ; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed). ; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though ; they might mean something in the future (they probably won't). ; ; Options are specified using the syntax key = value or key = "complex value". ; Key names are *case sensitive*. foo = bar is different from FOO = bar. ; 'value' can be any number, word or keyword (keywords are On, Off, True, ; False, Yes and No, and are case insensitive). ; 'complex value' can be just about anything, expcept for " and a newline ; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes. ; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No. ; ; All the values in the php3.ini-dist file correspond to the builtin ; defaults (that is, if no php3.ini is used, or if you delete these lines, ; the builtin defaults will be identical). ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Language Options ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; engine = On ; enable PHP 3.0 parser short_open_tag = On ; allow the <? tag. otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are recognized. asp_tags = Off ; allow ASP-style <% %> tags precision = 14 ; number of significant digits displayed in floating point numbers y2k_compliance = Off ; whether to be year 2000 compliant (will cause problems with non y2k compliant browsers) ; Safe Mode safe_mode = Off safe_mode_exec_dir = safe_mode_allowed_env_vars = PHP_ ; Setting certain environment variables ; may be a potential security breach. ; This directive contains a comma-delimited ; list of prefixes.
