WampServer

I am developing a customer registration system and have successfully sent an email to a gmail account, (yahoo failed). I want to validate the email by clicking a return link in the email. Can the wampserver receive emails as well as send them? If not, is their an alternative solution?

Think about it!

Clicking a link in an email is not sending an email.

When you click a link you are calling a browser and launching a web page with a querystring containing a parameter.

I'm using wampserver and I want to send an email whenever a user tries to get registered. But "Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() " ..

I tried a few things to solve this error but no use...


NOTE: I've not installed any external mail server. Trying to send email from wamp

Thanks.

Wampserver I beleive does not have a mail server built in, if you want to send/receive email I suggest for you to use your domain provider.

Hi,

The PHP mail() function does nto actually send email, it just passes an email to a mail server.
Windows does not have a mail server installed by default, but there are mail servers available, however it is not a simple job to install and manage one and even if you did, most real mail servers would reject mail coming form an unknown server.

I suggest you look at a PHP Library called phpMailer which can be found on github with a quick google search. This will allow you to use a google/yahoo/etc etc mail account to send mail.
