PHP mail() configuration

CodingLover

Hi all, There are so many articles on the web about 'how to send mails in PHP' using the mail function. But actually it gives lots of errors for me. Have a look at the code segment I tried.

$to 		= "to@gmail.com";
$subject 	= "subject goes here";
$message 	= "message of the email goes here";
$from 		= "from@gmail.com";
$headers 	= "From: $from";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent ";

When i try the code, gives the following error.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "smtp.emailsrvr.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in F:\WorkOn\PHP\MyPHPSites\emai_test.php on line 10

How can I workaround with this? Thanks in advance.

I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover :)

Check why the server smtp.emailsrvr.com is not accepting your mail request. I just tested it and it hangs after the HELO command, and then drops the connection. You need to contact the site administrator.

the process you are using is wrong. Please read about how email works. and also follow the link to email using gmail smtp server link[^]

No the request accepting. But no luck. I'll check with a different connection if possible, and let you know.

I couldn't find any example in that download bundle. However I tried what that tutorial suggest but it didn't work either.

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in ...\phpmailer\phpmailer.inc.php on line 271

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but when I tried to connect manually it definitely timed out on the initial HELO command, and then dropped the connection. You need to check with the site what the correct connection protocol is - it may be that you need to use a different port.

Yes, when I try to telnet to the port it is not allowed to connect. Seems my settings are invalid or the connection dropped somehow by my network. I'll check and let you know.
