RE: [PHP] Question about the mail() php function

you've to go in the php.ini and give a smtp server -----Message d'origine----- De : Shawn Inder [mailto:tha_sod@hotmail.com] Envoyé : samedi 24 avril 2004 6:03 À : php-general@lists.php.net Objet : [PHP] Question about the mail() php function Hello, I was browsing your site and came across the mail() PHP function. I tryed it out: <?php mail("tha_sod@hotmail.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"); ?> tha_sod@hotmail.com is my e-mail adress, obviously enough.. The problem is, the e-mail doesn't get sent. A warning appears on the page: Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\page.php on line 24 What is this all about? Why wont it work? Thanks you very much If this is not the right place to send a question, please tell me where that right place would be :) shlagish (or Shawn, you choose) _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the MSN Premium and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=htt p://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
