php contact page

Expand Post »
hi,

I am creating a contact us page with php and html. everything works except for the actual receiving of the email. I am using php and apache on localhost but i am connected to internet.

What i am trying to ask is: is it possible to send email using the localhost or not?

thanks

Re: php contact page

you have to configure smtp settings in php.ini file. If you place your file in the webserver then it is probably already configured.if you are using it in ur coimputer configure the php.ini file as:[mail function]; For Win32 only.SMTP = smtp.yourisp.com

Re: php contact page

If you are using WAMP then goto config files and then goto php.ini file and edit it with above given hints. It worked for me.

You dont need to put the email address in php.ini. Changing the smtp server may work fine. just try to telnet your smtp server on port 25 or 26 and if it is connected then there is no problem. You may also want to debug the code,. Can you post the code here?
