Hi, I am one of those people whose mail server is not on the local machine. It is on http://www.hotmail.com and the address is this email address. I currently constantly get this on my error log: [07-Feb-2009 06:39:15] PHP Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\apache\htdocs\Alice.Wei\projects\sbs\post.php on line 218 This is what is on my php.ini: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = ajwei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Could anyone please give me some pointers on what to put in my php.ini file to make this work? Thanks in advance.
