I installed a help desk software that is coded in PHP. It has a feature that enables it to send out email when someone submits a troubleshooting ticket. I am unable to get the email function to work. The software is running on a remote server at a hosting company. How would I be able to get this feature to work without editing the php.ini file. (the hosting company doesnt allow modifications to the php.ini file since its in a shared environment) Thank you.
I am getting this error:
Warning: 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 d:\inetpub\redpaladin\support\admin\includes\mailtest.php on line 67

As the warning suggests, use ini_set():
[php]
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
[/php]
change the port to required.
[php]
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
[/php]
change the port to required.

The function ini_set will set the value you provide for the directive you specified, until the script ends.
See: http://ca.php.net/ini_set
You should check the 'SMTP' and 'smtp_port' directives because you seem to be unable to connect to your server using "localhost" on port 25. Contact your webhoster to find out the correct SMTP host & port.
See: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ini.php#ini.list
Thanks, Mike
