[PHP] PHP mail() function. Help please...

2001-11-18 Thread Anthony Ritter

I'm reading J.Meloni's tutorial on page 119 in Fast and Easy and she is
explaining using the PHP mail function.

There are two scripts for this example...

One is the .html file which lays out the form with input boxes, a textarea
box and a submit button.

It is:

HTML
HEAD
TITLE Simple Feedback Form /TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
FORM METHOD=post  ACTION=send_simpleform.php
P strong Your name: /strong br
INPUT TYPE=text  NAME=sender_name  SIZE=30/P
P strong Your e-mail address: /strong br
INPUT TYPE=text  NAME=sender_email  SIZE=30/P
P strong Your message: /strong br
TEXTAREA NAME =message COLS=30  ROWS=5  WRAP=virtual/TEXTAREA/P
P INPUT TYPE=submit  NAME= submit  VALUE=Send this form /P
/FORM
/BODY
/HTML


The next is the PHP script which reads as follows:

?
$msg=This e-mail is being sent from www site\n;
$msg.=Sender's name: \t$sender_name\n;
$msg.=Sender's e-mail:\t$sender_email\n;
$msg.=Message:\t$message\n\n;
$to=[EMAIL PROTECTED];
$subject=Website Feedback;
$mailheaders=From: My website \n;
$mailheaders.=Reply to: $sender_email\n\n;
mail($to,$subject,$msg,$mailheaders);
?
HTML
HEAD
TITLESimple Feedback Form/TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
H1The following e-mail has been sent:/H1
PstrongYour Name:/strongbr
?echo $sender_name;?
PstrongYour email address:/strongbr
?echo $sender_email;?
PstrongMessage:/strongbr
? echo $message; ?
/BODY
/HTML
..

Everytime I input a name, e-mail, and test blurb for the message box form
and hit submit, I get:

Warning: Failed to connect in C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache\htdocs\send_simpleform.php
in line 10.

I have made the corrections in my php.ini file in the [mail function]
to read as follows:

SMTP=localhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please advise if anyone knows what I am doing wrong.

Thanking all in advance.
Tony Ritter

do you have sendmail or smtp configured properly. Yao should test that
first. Try to put instad of SMTP=localhost name of  some other server, taht
you can connect and send mail from.
