hi, i just tried to add the email function to my website so that when users sign in the recieve an email but i keep getting this error. does anybody know what's wrong:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in E:\Program Files\wamp\www\practice\sbdjobs\signup11.php on line 110
here is the code that contains the email function:
[ICODE]
//start building signup email
$msg = "<p><b>Name:</b> '.$fname. ''.$lname.'</p>";
$msg .="<p><b>Company Name:</b> '.$compname.'</p>";
$msg .="<p>Thank you for signing up with sbdjobs.com. You can log in anytime to add, edit or view jobs</p>";
$to = "'.$fname. ''.$lname.'<'.$con_email.'>";
$subject = "Registration with sbdJobs.com";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: sbdJobs.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .="'.$fname. ''.$lname.'<'.$con_email.'>";
//send mail
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
[/ICODE]
everything worked fine before i added this function. my php ini file looks like this:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = tochi2k@hotmail.com
can anyone tell me what i did wrong.
thanks..

Re: error in subscription email
Are you running WAMP?
Do you have a mailserver installed? If not then you cant use

Unfortunately NOT. Windows sucks right!?!!?!
You would need to install a separate mailserver or use a remote one.
Or better yet install Linux, which will have LAMP and a mailserver!
