Hi
I was trying to use the mail() function, but it did not work, maybe because
of some settings problem or something that I can't figure out
I went online and tried to execute the following
//=======================================================
<?php
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$content = $_POST['content'];
$to = "any_address@yahoo.com";
$headers = "From:".$from;
if(mail($to, $subject, $content, "From: $from")) {
echo"sent";
}
else{ echo "not sent";
}
?>
//===============================================
the variable values sent from a Form in another and they are sent correctly
but I keep having this error
//===============================================
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\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\mysite/myfile.php on line 194
//===============================================
my php.ini settings for the mail function are
//=============================
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
sendmail_from = dre00@yahoo.com
//=============================
thanks in advance
Dre,
