[PHP] How to get the mail sending stuff to work on Win2k?
I have a fresh install of PHP on a Win2k server. It is installed along with MySQL to allow me to run and XMB message base on my website. Everything works great except for the fact that I never receive any email notification when someone replies to a message I (or anyone else) posts. I think the problem is that I don't have the email part of PHP configured correctly. I used the php.ini-recommended file to set it up. In the mail section it says: SMTP=localhost There is a mail server on the local host. Do I have to install a sendmail app to get this working correctly? Nothing shows up in the event logs. One more question, when I make a change to that ini file, do I have to reboot the machine or just restart IIS? ==== Rad Craig ==== Rad Craig -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
FW: [PHP] How to get the mail sending stuff to work on Win2k?
I run ArgoSoft's mail server which has worked great. I use SMTP authentication, could that be the problem? Is there a way to setup the info for SMTP authentication in PHP so it can pass it to the mail server during it's sendmail type functions?

[PHP] mail() not working on Win2k
I'm running under Win2k, new install of PHP(last week), I have been trying
to test the mail() function, but it doesn't seem to work. I host my own
mail server on the same machine and I know it works, has been for months,
all other mail come/goes just fine. I don't have the default SMTP server
for IIS installed since I have my own SMTP/POP3 mail server on this same
server.
I have tried it with the following:
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "test message", "this is a test");
I have SMTP authentication turned off on my mail server for this testing.
It never arrives, I never get an error.
I can telnet to port 25, all works fine.
phpinfo.php reports that everything looks good, only thing i saw was that
the extension directory shows c:\php4 instead of c:\php.
I don't have any extra .dll's or anything turned on since it has built-in
support for MySQL.
Can someone PLEASE help.

yes, I've tried:
SMTP = localhost
SMTP = 127.0.0.1
SMTP = mail.mydomain.com
SMTP = internal.ip.address
None made any difference, so I've set it back to localhost.

[PHP] test_smtp.php
I'm trying to implement this smtp_email stuff. I'm running Win2k, ArgoSoft Mail Server Pro, PHP 4.3.0, MySQL, etc. I downloaded everything on these pages: DNS Resolver: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/file/1910.html MIME: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/9.html SMTP: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/14 I'm sorry, but I'm a newb, so I have no idea what I'm doing with PHP. I created a \includes directory under my main PHP directory and my include path in the .ini file points there. I copied all of these files there except for the test_*.* files. I host my own mail server on the same machine. I then loaded up the file test_smtp.php in an editor and started filling in some blanks, like: $to - changed this to my email address $smtp->user - changed this to my email username $smtp->realm - changed this to my domain name $smtp->password - changed this to my email password I left everything else alone except changing $smtp->debug=1 after it didn't work the first time. My mail server requires authentication. I didn't receive any email, nor any output in the browser when I run that test page. Looks like it should give me SOME sort of feedback whether it succeeds or fails at the bottom, apparently it's never getting that far. I have php.ini configured to write it's error_log to a file, but it's always empty. I'm guessing I need to put in my DNS server names and ip's, but I have no idea where or how to do this in this php file or some other one? I have two that I could put in if I knew where. I haven't done anything to any of the other files, so if there is something else I need to configure, please tell me what and in which file. Sorry to be such a PITA, but I REALLY need to get this thing working. Thanks in advance.
