Hi friends,
I am designing a web site which contains 1 enquiry form. I build the form and did the validations with javascript.
Now when i submit the form to send the email using php code it does nothing, the whole blank page comes up, i tried to show the inputs before it send the mail, it shows nothing, but when i comment the mail() then and try to see wats the input is it shows correct result. I dont know wats wrong with it. Actually before this i have nt used this mail(). so does i need to do any changes in php.ini or any other place. i did some chances in php.ini, i m giving my php code and the php.ini changes. Please let me know if i need to make more chance in any other file of php or apache.
php.ini (this is my modified file)
| Code: |
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from =myid@hotmail.com
|
mail() php code
| Code: |
<?php
echo "<p> Thank You, <b>".$_POST["contactname"]."</b>, for the message!</p>";
echo "<p> Your Email address is :--, <b> ".$_POST["email"]."</b> </p>";
echo "<p> Your Message Was :-- <br /></p>";
echo "<p>".$_POST["details"]."</p>";
//start building the mail string
$msg ="Name : ".$_POST["contactname"]."\n";
$msg .="E-Mail:-- ".$_POST["email"]."\n";
$msg .="Message:-- ".$_POST["details"]."\n";
//set up the mail
$recipient = "myid@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Enquiry about event";
$mailheaders = "From :My Web Site <koolkedar@hotmail.com> ""\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"].;
mail($recipient,$subject,$msg,$mailheaders);
?>

| add error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); to your PHP code after the <?php to locate the error. |

PHP Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in E:\\Keleidoscope\\enquiryform.php on line 67

wat can be the possible reasons. I am using wireless internet with wireless router.
We 4 flatmates share the intetnet.
Is the port problem related to that please let me know.
Else how can i check the port connectivity.
In my previous post u can see the php.ini setting. hope they are ok.
thanks in advance. |

Do you run a mailserver ?
If not, use the mailserver (SMTP) from your ISP.
