Sending an email in PHP requires you to have a Mail Server. If you have none well that's really a problem. Can you post some code snippets so it would be much be easier for us to identify the problem? |

First and foremost, you need to post what problem you are having problem with in your form. You can't let people here post answers while guessing what your problem is. Though i will try give you some idea which i have tried too.
If you are using the php mail() system, then i guess the only way to get it to work is to edit the php.ini.
Though there are many frameworks that is useful in a mail system, and one of those is the Zend Mail.
Another is the Swift Mailer, though its quite complicated framework but it do provides you almost all the functionalities (eg. embedding images, html, etc..)

Yup. How can anyone answer you if you've just let people glimpse at your problem. You really have to explain the situation and what is your expected outcome about that situation. If your going to use the mail function of php. be sure you have a working SMTP Server. |

"'"; $my_query = $my_query . " and ID = " . $_SESSION["ID"]; $query_result = ExecuteQuery($my_query); if(mysql_num_rows($query_result) != 1) { echo ("<html><body>Invalid Email Address <a href='#' onclick='history.back()'> Click Here to Try Again</a></body></html>"); exit(); } else { $row = mysql_fetch_object($query_result); $Password=$row->Password; } mail('abc@gmail.com','testing','testing body'); exit(); } In this script i am facing a problem in SMTP sending mail and i have tried many times but problem is still on the same position. Could you please help me out in this meter? |

you need to configure your php.ini to provide the from header. or you can have it this way mail('abc@gmail.com','testing','testing body',"from:moodsey211@gmail.com");
The second thing is that you need to have a valid SMTP server. and try to use a code tag if you are going to post codes. Like the one above. Cheers... |

PHP makes it easy to send mail from Web applications. But it still needs a bit of configuration. As you probably know, PHP configuration happens php.ini. The relevant section for email configuration is [mail function], and to make PHP use an external mail server you must set SMTP to your ISP's mail server's address. This will be the same address that you use in your email program for the outgoing mail server, "smtp.isp.net", for example. The other setting sendmial_from, which specifies the default email address PHP emails are sent from. Configure PHP to Use a Remote SMTP Server for Sending Mail Note that setting up the internal mail function to use SMTP is only available on Windows. On other platforms, PHP should use the locally available sendmail or sendmail drop-in just fine. Alternatively, you can use the PEAR Mail Package. A typical configuration might look like: [mail function] SMTP = smtp.isp.net sendmail_from = me@isp.net http://email.about.com/cs/phpemailtips/qt/et021802.htm

In short you really have to read the technical documentation of php. You can set it up at the php.ini or you could use the ini_set function. Both methods are correct, but you need a precise understanding on how SMTP works. Take not that sending mail in windows and unix are different. You can use gmail as a Mail Server but you need to have a gmail account first. and you need to send message using that account. If you need more assistance please do refer to their documentation: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

try what moodsey posted by doing a simple script first.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 TRANSITIONAL//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
//ini_set("sendmail_from", "me@yahoo.com");
$sSender = "me@yahoo.com";
$sReceiver = "them@yahoo.com";
$sTitle = "My Test Subject";
$sMsg = "My test message.";
mail($sReceiver, $sMsg, $sTitle, $sSender);
?>
</body>
</html>
If it doesn't work, maybe you really do need a mail agent.
Configure an MTA to your IIS if you're using Windows.
If XAMPP, try visiting http://roshanbh.com.np/2007/12/sending-e-mail-from-localhost-in-php-in-windows-environment.html
Maybe you can use google as your SMTP here hehehe http://lifehacker.com/software/email-apps/how-to-use-gmail-as-your-smtp-server-111166.php
I haven't tried google's, but I think it should work much like setting your Outlook.

If you really don't want to go to the hustle of configuring your own SMTP server. You can always choose to use third party programs that does the job for you. For example you could use telnet [1] to connect to gmail or any SMTP server to send and/or download your emails. By studying how this program work you can figure out how to use it in your php. It has some issues but it does what you really want to achieve. [1] telnet is a Microsoft program use before by our teachers to remotely connect to our server to download their email. More info about telnet in this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet You could also use ActiveEmail to send email. It's not free but you could always try it. http://www.activexperts.com/ActivEmail/ |
