Hi all, when i tried sending a mail using php mail function at localhost, i get the following error....what could be the issue....i even tried changing php.ini file and gave smtp host value my service provider value and it still dint work
Warning: mail() [function.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
Well do you have a mailserver configured on localhost? Otherwise to use mail you will probably have to use you internets provider smtp servers instead of localhost to connect.
For me, adding the following code in the calling file did the trick
// xampp code fix
ini_set( sendmail_from, "[email protected]" ); \\ My usual e-mail address
ini_set( SMTP, "mail.bigpond.com" ); \\ My usual sender
ini_set( smtp_port, 25 );
