I'm getting problems with the mail() function.
ERROR:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "" port 25, verify
your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in
C:\wamp\www\php_sandbox\user_auth_fns.php on line 170
I'm using Windows XP prof. and WAMP5 -server
Here what I did:
1) I download sendmail.zip from http://glob.com.au/sendmail/
2) I unzip this in a folder on c:\wamp\sendmail
3) I edited PHP.INI file
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP =
smtp_port =
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from =
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\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 =
4)I edited SENDMAIL.INI file
; configuration for fake sendmail
; if this file doesn't exist, sendmail.exe will look for the settings in
; the registry, under HKLM\Software\Sendmail
[sendmail]
; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory. (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
; application.
smtp_server=mail.yahoo.ca
; smtp port (normally 25)
smtp_port=465
; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided
; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify
default_domain=
; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging
error_logfile=error.log
; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging
;debug_logfile=debug.log
; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines
auth_username=jacobsofia
auth_password= *******
; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the
; following three lines
pop3_server=mail.yahoo.ca
pop3_username= jacobsofia@yahoo.ca
pop3_password=******
; to force the sender to always be the following email address, uncomment and
; populate with a valid email address. this will only affect the "MAIL FROM"
; command, it won't modify the "From: " header of the message content
force_sender=jacobsofia@yahoo.ca
; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting. you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required
hostname=
5) Here my code:
$email = mysql_result($result, 0, "email");
$from = "From: jacobsofia@yahoo.ca \r\n";
$mesg = "Tu contraseña ha sido cambiado a $Password \r\n"
."Por favor utilízalo la próxima cuando hagas log in. \r\n";
if (mail($email, "login información ", $mesg, $from))
echo "Enviamos tu nueva contrasena a tu e-mail";
else
echo "Error";
Thanks for the help!!!!
