Code: Select all
$to = '".$email."';
$subject = "Homies For Life Password!";
$body = "Your password is : '".$rand."'";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body))
{
echo("<p>Your password has been sent to the email address:'".$email."' </p>");
}
else
{
die("<p>The email containing your password failed to send, please contact an Administator</p>");
}
Ok, that is my script, it works, I think, so I set it to send to my own email address, that was about 10 mins ago, I ran the script and it said it had sent, but.... I have not yet recieved the email. So my question is:
do I need to change any settings or install anything to send email via php on a localhost?

E-mail doesn't guarantee instant delivery... So it might take a while...

More or less as long as a chestnut takes to fall off a barstool.

So, it depends on the speed you hit it, this baseball bat should make quick work of my server

No. The chestnut just sits on the barstool. It might fall, it might not. Time will tell
And no, you don't need to configure anything for PHP's mail() function to work.

That's where you go wrong. Chestnuts fall only from trees, not usually from barstools
