Adding SMTP settings to php mail script

Post by tokolosche »

Hello,

I just got notification from my web hosting company that they are upgrading their mail security so anyone with php mail script need to add smtp authorisation code into their script. I have no idea how to do this as I just took the mail script from a free download site. Can anyone help please?

The code that needs to be added in is:

Code: Select all

/* Specify your SMTP Server, Port and Valid From Address */
ini_set("SMTP","mail.yourdomain.com");
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
ini_set("sendmail_from","fromYou@yourdomain.com.com");
and the original code I need to put it into is:

Code: Select all

<?php


/* $sendto is the email where form results are sent to */
   $sendto = "email@email.com";

/* $ccto is the email where form results can be carbon copied to */
   $ccto = "";

/*
         O P T I O N A L   V A R I A B L E S 
*/


$setokurls = "1";

$okurls = "http://www.website.com/contact.htm";

/*

        N O   N E E D   T O   E D I T   A N Y   V A R I A B L E S   B E L O W

*/


$footer = "<br><br><br><br><br><center><font face=\"Arial\"><a href=\"http://www.noviceform.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><font color=\"#ff0000\">Form processing script provided by Novice Form</font></a> </center></font>";

$backbutton = "<br><br><b>Hit your browsers back button and resubmit the form.</b>";



/* check to see if posted */
if ($HTTP_GET_VARS || ! $HTTP_POST_VARS || $_GET || ! $_POST) {
include("qwserror.php");
no_pst();

}else{


 /* IF OLDER VERSION OF PHP CONVERT TO NEWER VARIABLES */
	if (! $_POST) {
	$_POST = "$HTTP_POST_VARS";
	}

	if (! $_SERVER) {
	$_SERVER = "$HTTP_SERVER_VARS";
	}


$year = date("Y");
$month = date("m");
$day = date("d");
$hour = date("h");
$min = date("i");
$tod = date("a");


$ip=$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

$SEND_prnt = "The form below was submited by " . $_POST{"email"} . " from Ip address: $ip on $monthnameactual $month/$day/$year at $hour:$min $tod \n";
$SEND_prnt .= "-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n";


/* CHECK TO SEE IF $_POST{"required"} IS SET */
if ($_POST{"required"}){


  $post_required = $_POST{"required"};
  $required = split(",", $post_required);
  $reqnum = count($required);

	for ($req=0; $req < $reqnum; $req++) {

	$REQ_name = $required[$req];
	$REQ_value = $POST{"$REQ_name"};


  if ($REQ_name == "email") {
     $goodem = ereg("^[^@ ]+@[^@ ]+\.[^@ \.]+$", $_POST{"email"}, $trashed);

        if (! $goodem) {

	msng_email();
        }  /* end ! $goodem */

  }
  elseif (! $_POST{"$REQ_name"}) {
 		 $isreqe = "1";
 		 $REQ_error .= "<li> $REQ_name ";
  		 } /* end ! req val */

          } /* end REQ for loop  */


                /* IF THERE ARE ANY REQUIRED FIELDS NOT FILLED IN */

		if ($isreqe == "1") {
		include("qwserror.php");
		msng_required();
		}

/* END IF THERE ARE ANY REQUIRED FIELDS NOT FILLED IN */

                            }
   } /* end ! sort */
  

} /* end foreach */


  /* END GET POSTED VARIABLES */

	       }

  }   /* END SORT VARIABLES */

     exit;
     }



} /* END IF POSTED */

placement isn't all that crucial with those as long as they go in before the call to mail()
