WampServer

Hello people , i just registered here , ivd been using WAMp for some time now , before using it i used XAMP but i have to say that WAMP is far superior . So i wanna express my thanks to the WAMP community .


My problem is :

I am working at a web-site and i am working right now at a contact form , i need to test the form ofcourse , but it comes hard to me to upload the form to my webhosting every time i make a change .
What i really want is somebody to tell me how to configure the php.ini so i can be able to send email .
I tried to change into the SMTP = mail.tesco.net the port on 25 and sendmail_from= php@home.com but it does not work .
Any help would be great appreciated .
EDIT : i heard that if you install mercury it auto-configures the mail function . is it true ? if it is from hwere can i download it . and it works with WAMP ?

Thank you ,
Mihail Alin .

Hello ,
This is my first time in this forum.
I am getting this warning when trying to use the mail php 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 ..

According to the replies above I get 2 things :
1. wamp does not come with mail server
2. I am in the wrong forum

Can someone send me a link to the right forum so I can understand how to fix this mail problem ???

Thanks a lot
Lizu

Try this,

It works for me. I use the SMTP server of my Internet Service Provider (ISP)

Hope that helps!

In the php.ini file, open it and search on SMTP. There you will find an entry like:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; [php.net]
SMTP = mail.wowway.com
; [php.net]
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; [php.net]
sendmail_from = pad@dalenberg.us

of interest is: SMTP = localhost, notice I have changed it to the isp I use. If you are using your OWN E-Mail program (separate from WAMP, as WAMP does not include an e-mail handler), you can send the e-mails through it!!
