hi, i just tried to add the email function to my website so that when users sign in the recieve an email but i keep getting this error. does anybody know what's wrong:
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 E:\Program Files\wamp\www\practice\sbdjobs\signup11.php on line 110
here is the code that contains the email function:
everything worked fine before i added this function. my php ini file looks like this:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = tochi2k@hotmail.com
can anyone tell me what i did wrong.
thanks..

//start building signup email $msg = "<p><b>Name:</b> '.$fname. ''.$lname.'</p>"; $msg .="<p><b>Company Name:</b> '.$compname.'</p>"; $msg .="<p>Thank you for signing up with sbdjobs.com.

"\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: sbdJobs.com' . "\r\n"; $headers .="'.$fname. ''.$lname.'<'.$con_email.'>"; //send mail mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

Most likely there is no smtp running at your server.

I'm sure it is not running. There is a thread about it on the wampserver forum. You would be able to use e.g. phpMailer using a GMail account, or another smtp account that will let you connect.
