 |
|
Can someone help me to configure propperly a mail function. I run Windows XP Pro and in my php.ini file there is :
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
I don't know how to configure mail function for the porpose of testing php formmail script on my local mashine. On my webhost's linux server I use my domain for sendmail, but what to use on my PC ? And which one to use : SMTP or sendmail, what is the differance?
My next quesstion is how to enable ( or add) GD2 support for inline JPEG thumbnails in PHP ?

Almin,
Since you're on Windows, your should use SMTP. PHP will directly connect to the outgoing mail server to send messages. In UNIX systems, sendmail is a command line program that does exactly the same thing (and it is usually preconfigured by the system admin so you never need to tell it which SMTP server to use.)
Set the parameter SMTP to the name of the SMTP server of your ISP (the same one you have configured for outgoing emails in your mail program - e.g. Outlook).
Set sendmail_from to your email address.
To enable GD2 support, you should install the PHP GD2 extension and uncomment in php.ini the line:
| Code: | | ;extension=php_gd.dll |
If you want to avoid all the hassle of GD2 installation, download our preconfigured PHP 5 package from http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php5win.html . It comes with all the extensions and has GD2 support enabled by default.

Hi !
I was able to send mail with php and a form with the previous version of php.
I've installed php5 and mysql as explained by Aprelium and tried different scripts using php. I was not able to send the mail.
My php.ini is setup as my outlook express is for what regards the smtp server, the port (25) and the send from email address (myemail@address.com).
I verified with my internet provider if they allow those scripts, they do.
Of course, I made sure my email was working.
Here is the php script [taken from a post in the forum] | Quote: | <?
mail($_POST['email'],$_POST["subject"], $_POST["body"],'') or die("Mail could not be sent");
?> |
Here is the form | Quote: | <form action="sendmail.php" method="post">
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject"><br>
Body: <input type="text" name="body"><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form> |
The script returns the die message | Quote: | | Mail could not be sent |
Your help will be greatly apreciated.
Thanks
Oli |

olivierp,
Try using the following code to have the full error message displayed:
| Quote: | <?
mail($_POST['email'],$_POST["subject"], $_POST["body"],'') ;
?> |
What is it?
Later you can add the or die(....); line when debugging is over.

Thanks.
The sendmail.php opens but displays a blank page. No errors.
I did not receive the email.
Any idea why... ?

Yes there is, | Quote: | CGI: ["C:\Program Files\ActiveHTML\AHTML.exe" freeASPUpload.asp ] URI: /uploads/freeASPUpload.asp Broken pipe
CGI: ["C:\Program Files\ActiveHTML\AHTML.exe" freeASPUpload.asp ] URI: /uploads/freeASPUpload.asp Broken pipe
|
I've reinstalled ActiveHTML a few days ago for another 45 days.
There is nothing else in the log file.
Thanks |

olivierp,
So we have no clue about the cause of the problem. Can you send your php.ini, abyss.conf, and the script files to support@aprelium.com ? Please do not forget to add a reference to this forum message.
