Well, I want to change the php mail info because i acdentally used the default settings. Do you know how to?!?!?!? the ones that say localhost are the defaults but i want to change it to my hotmail email?!? please help?!???

Edit: I have solved this(I think)

If you want to change the php mail info, look for this in the php.ini file:

-----------------------code------------------------------


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

; For Win32 only.
; [php.net]
sendmail_from = you@yourdomain


-----------------code----------------------------------

mail() wont work with hotmail. You can only use non password protected mail servers with the standard mail() function.

hotmail requires authentication in order for emails to be sent. Instead use a script called phpmailer: [phpmailer.worxware.com]

This will allow you to send/recieve email to/from servers which requires authentication.
