PHP Forms Question...‏

[Guest CapitanJusticia]

Hi everyone, I was watching the third 'Processing Forms with PHP' video, where we see an example of how to send the form data to our email, but I keep getting the error below when I try to send the form data to my email. Do you know how this can be fixed? Thanks.

 

 

 

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 C:\wamp\www\PHPFiles\form_response.php on line 13

I believe this requires editing the PHP.ini file to add your own smtp details. See http://www.programmingfacts.com/send-email-localhostxampp-wamp/ for one tutorial (and I am sure that searching "mail function php wamp" will bring up some others).

 

As a general rule though, I tend to test any functionality that uses mail() on an actual web web server, not on my local computer.
