hello, i'm new to this place;
here's what i'm trying to do....
i am very new to web site development .
I am running a local appache host, with php
i am trying to get some sort of user input, so i decided to go for FormToEmail.com php script as is seemed to be easy enough.
what i have done so far,,,
configured the php script to send an mail to myusername@gmail.com
in the set up it mentioned that i have to enable the mail() function on my server..
in the php.ini there is a
[mail function]
;for win32 only.
smtp = localhost
smtp_port = 25
;for win 32 on;u
sendmail_from = me@example.com
google settings are
Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)
I set
smtp = myuser@gmail.com
smtp_port = 995
i allowed outboun connection on port 995 on my netgear rooter,,
i restarted my server. ...
and it's still not working :'(
people said that it might be because of some validation error on gmail's side of things.. any one know how i can get the thing to send an email to me?
