php mailing not working. any help me?


i used the code to send mail is as follows:
<?php
$to = "someone@example.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>


when i am executing i am getting 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\xampp\htdocs\samplemuthu\file.php on line 7

it doesnt look like your mailserver settings are correct in your php.ini file. this article will help you with this setup.

Hi,

1. Search your computer for the 'php.ini' file....
2. Once you have found it's location, open it using Notepad.exe
3. Click Edit - Find and enter [mail function] now search for it within the document
4. You should find this:
   
   [mail function]
   ; For Win32 only.
   SMTP = localhost
   smtp_port = 25
   
   ; For Win32 only.
   ;sendmail_from = me@example.com
   
   ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
   ;sendmail_path =sendmail -t -i
   

Hi,You can use sleep() function just after mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
like this

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
sleep(5);

may be it will works.
