how can i send message?

Question

I have programmed for mailing in php.but how can i send mail through local server?

Answer 1

You need to setup an SMTP server. You can use iis for this purpose.

Answer 2

A full-on SMTP server would be overkill for just mailing from a script. SMTP is for clients connecting to the server and sending mail.

To send mail from a script, use sendmail or postfix

Answer 3

You could also take a look at php.net regarding mailing. Good luck!

Answer 4

Assuming the server is already set up to have either SMTP and/or sendmail, then most likely what you are looking for is the mail() function.

Basic usage for that would be something like this:

mail( '[email protected]', 'The subject', 'A short or long message' );

when sending a long message, use the wordwrap() function, to ensure that the message is broken displayed properly by the client.

$message = wordwrap($message, 70);

Of course, if this does not work, then you may need to contact your server administrator to make sure that everything is correctly setup to allow you to send email.
