Can somebody help setup of enabling php email on localhost.

Post by mmc01ms »

I've created a comments form and would like to test it works. However im having trouble setting it up. The examples in the books use SMTP,POP3 emails however i have a hotmail account is it possible for the comments to be forwarded to my email? Also is there any other guides on this site or others for this sort of problem?

cheers

in php.ini

use your isp's smtp address and then you should be able to send email to any email address you want.

often smtp addresses are something like this

smtp.aol.com
pop.aol.com

and similar....
