hello everyone:
I am trying to send email via php. I using window XP home edition.
My mail client is
outlook express. I configured mail client to send email via my aol
email account.
mail server information: mail account: imap.aol.com
server information: incoming mail: imap.aol.com / port: 143
outgoing mail: smtp.aol.com / port: 587
I changed php.ini file in order to match my email client setting
//original setting
;SMTP = localhost
;smtp_port = 25
//new setting
SMTP = smtp.aol.com
smtp_port = 587
No matter which setting I use, I always got this error message
when I test my php file I got following error
"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 C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\exer\chapter5\phpemail.php on line 28"
I test my connection to localhost port25 by issuing following command
in dos prompt:
telnet localhost 25
I got error message:
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on
port 25: Connect failed
<?php
$from = "mike <name@aol.com>";
$to = "name@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Agenda for tomorrow's metting";
$message ="In tomorrow's meeting, we will discuss our new marketing
campaign and
third-quarter sales results.";
$headers = "From: $from";
$messageSend = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if($messageSend)
{
echo "<p>The following message was send successfully:</p><hr />";
echo "<p>from: $from</p>";
echo "<p>to: $to</p>";
echo "<p>subject: $subject;</p>";
echo "<p>message: $message</p>";
}
else
echo "<p>the message was not send successfully!</p>";
?>
--Please give me some suggestion on how to configure my php.ini file
and mail client so I can send email via php script. Thanks in advanced
