Hi Forum,

I am having an error in my php code, as I am trying to send email using mail() function.

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

Any of your help would be highly appriciated.

create a new page like so:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then load up that page and look for your mail settings. Should be using sendmail. You may not have anything configured. If it looks right, maybe you have port 25 closed on your server for security. You'll have to configure that from command line.

thanks smoseley

do i need to change these given below (it is viewable at my phpinfo page):

in php info.

I am also trying this to send email:

PHP Code:


ini_set( "sendmail_from", "info@domain.com" );
    ini_set( "SMTP", "mail.myserver.com" );
    ini_set("smtp_user","myusername");
    ini_set("smtp_pass","password");
    ini_set( "smtp_port", "25" );
    $msg = $_POST['info'];
    $em = $_POST['email'];
    $nm = $_POST['name'];
    //die;
    $email      = 'me@gmail.com';
    $subject = 'A quote from user.';
    $message = $msg." ".$em." ".$nm;
    //echo $message;
    //$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" . 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
    
    if ( mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $email") )
    echo "The email has been sent!";
    else
    echo "Error sending email!"; 


I hope it will help you to know my problem.

I've also put php.ini in my root folder.

Try getting rid of these lines and see what happens:


ini_set( "sendmail_from", "info@domain.com" );
ini_set( "SMTP", "mail.myserver.com" );
ini_set("smtp_user","myusername");
ini_set("smtp_pass","password");

Hi Smoseley,

I disabled these and result is:

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

Please let me know if there's something I need to change in php.ini

Your help is really appreciable.

As above:

Thanks smoseley,

Now error is:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in

Headers I used

PHP Code:

$headers.= "";
    $headers.="MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers.="Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
    $headers.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable";
    $headers.= "From:info@mywebsite.com \r\n"; 


I tested send mail from localhost. I saw it only send to gmail success, don't success other mail box

Notes: I using xamp.

Try adding this at the top of your script and see if it makes a difference:

PHP Code:

ini_set("sendmail_from","info@mywebsite.com"); 


Thank you all,

But no success, do I need to contact my hosting service providers..???

What to ask them??
