[shariefbe]

Hi friends,

I have designed and one form and php code to send mail. I am developing this in my localhost,

So now i want to send email from my localhost to test my programming.

I googled and i find something like editing "php.ini" file. But it didnt work for me.

So can anyone help me and i am using wamp server.

Thank you.

Ok, so you need help to get PHP into sending email - or is the problem that your *system* won't send email?

For PHP to send a simple email, look at PHPs mail-function.

If this doesn't work, make sure sendmail is configured properly:

echo "hello world" | mail -s "testmail" your.email@example.org

If you get this email, all is good, if not, have a look at the output from these commands:
mailq -q
tall /var/log/mail.err

HTH

Errm.. so, you're posting a PHP-question because you're having troubles sending emails from a *windows*-machine - in a linux-forum?

Perhaps a window-forum is better suited for your question?

"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 F:\test\xampp\htdocs\sendmail.php on line 42'

Yeah, you need to configure sendmail (or equivalent) for windows. I'm not an expert on this, but google will help you out, add windows+smtp+howto in a google-query (stupid forum won't lett me post URLs yet )

If you do that, then the PHP-code is at least one step closer

Now i am getting this error when i attempt to use my mail form.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550-5.7.1 [122.162.237.107] The IP you're using to send mail is not authorized 550-5.7.1 to send email directly to our servers. Please use the SMTP relay at 550-5.7.1 your service provider instead.

Please help me i got struck in this for long time....

You need to *read* the error

Your ISP does not allow you to send emails directly from your machine - something a lot of ISPs do to battle the ever increasing amount of spam.

Go to 'The IP you're using to send email is not authorized...' - Gmail Help and see what the ISP says
