Hi Ambitious, Glad it was of some help. The mail() function is designed to send mails usuing SMTP so it won't work with services such as hotmail, yahoo or gmail. You'd need to use an SMTP server running on your machine, or use your ISP's or company's (if internal use) for sending. As for HTML emails, when calling the mail() function just pass it back HTML (fully formatted) at it will send an H

Hi Chanianaus, You'll need to do some research on this one if you are intending to use WAMP for hosting sites on the internet. In a corporate LAN environment it's very different. To host a domain (and by this I'm assuming you want someone on the web to type in a URL like www.mydomain.com and reach your computer) you need the following: Static IP address that is public (ie available to all on t

Hi Giggly, 127.0.0.1 is known as a loop back address. It's a reserved address that can't be used on other machines. It basically tells your computer's network card to look at itself. So when you type in 127.0.0.1 it will look at the computer you are currently using for the website. (Applies to all IP based stuff, not just WAMP). If you want to access your WAMP server from another computer, simp

Hi all, In IE there is a setting that allows the support for this. If enabled (IE 6 and above it's not by default) you can type in a URL usiing the following format <<username>>:<<password>>@<<URL>> Ie. andy:mypassword@www.google.co.uk I don't know which GPS system you use, nor can I say whether it will work with this format, but it is worth a try. Andy.

Hi all, I'd LOVE to take advantage of one of the new functions that has appeared in WAMP recently... In the new version, you can knock the server offline, locking it down to only the LOCALHOST. As far as I'm aware, this basically makes your web server appear to have dissappeared. What I'd prefer is for it to dish out a different web page that can be edited so that I can let users know the site

Hi Chezy, I had this error message in previous versions. It seems to have been corrected (whether on purpose or not I don't know) but I found it to be one of two things: a) The services didn't/weren't restart(ed) properly after adding the required function/dll b) The required dll wasn't found. When you add a function (eg MD5) using WAMP the services should restart themselves, but it never hurt

Hi Ambitious, I've used WAMP for sending emails many times in the past. The easiest way to do it is to configure your WAMP server with the details of your SMTP server. You'll find these in the PHP.INI file. Just open it and search for the word MAIL. The SMTP server needs to be reachable from the server you are using and I'd suggest filling out the sender email address etc. (These can be overri
