I have setup WAMP for Windows 64-bit and am trying to use the mail() function
to send an email from my local host to another mail server (for example, Gmail or Hotmail).
The problem is in PHP and SMTP connection. I get the following error message:
Verify your smtp and port 25.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this error and how I can fix it?
分享 When using mail(), PHP expects to find a mailserver running on localhost. You probably don't have that. You can try using PHPMailer instead.
The configuration would then look something like this:
<?php
require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com';
$mail->Username = 'user';
$mail->Password = 'pass';
$mail->From = 'john.doe@example.com';
$mail->FromName = "John Doe";
$mail->AddAddress('test@gmail.com');
$mail->Subject = 'test subject';
$mail->Body = 'Works?';
$mail->Send()
?>
