hello everyone. i asked this question some days ago but no one had given me a solution for this thing:(.

i m using a contact.php with some html fields to send email from website to my email address. but i always get this error.

"Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 SMTP authentication is required. in C:\inetpub\vhosts\jkgroup.com.pk\httpdocs\contact.php on line 35
ERROR!"

the code which i m using is contact.php:

<?php 
 
if(!$_POST) exit; 
 
$email = $_POST['email']; 
 
 
//$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS'; 
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )) 
{ 
$error.="Invalid email address entered"; 
$errors=1; 
} 
if($errors==1) echo $error; 
else{ 
 
$values = array ('name','email','phone','concerning','message'); 
$required = array('name','email','message'); 
  
$your_email = "nisarkhan_11@hotmail.com"; 
$email_subject = "JK_Contactus"; 
$email_content = ":\n"; 
  
 
foreach($values as $value){ 
  if(in_array($value,$required)){ 
    if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'PLEASE FILL IN REQUIRED FIELDS'; exit; } 
    $email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n"; 
  } 
} 
 
$smtp_server = $_POST['mail.jkgroup.com.pk']; 
 
$smtp_port = $_POST['2525']; 
if(mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content))  
{ 
        echo 'Message sent!';  
} else { 
        echo 'ERROR!'; 
} 
} 
?>

also this is html code:

 <form action="contact.php" method="post" id="contactform" style="width: 502px"> 
        <ol> 
          <li> 
            <label for="name">Your Name*<br /> 
              <span>Add your name </span></label> 
            <input id="name" name="name" class="text" /> 
          </li> 
          <li> 
            <label for="email">Your Email Address*<br /> 
              <span> Add a valid address</span></label> 
            <input id="email" name="email" class="text" /> 
          </li> 
          <li style="width: 466px"> 
            <label for="message">Your Message*<br /> 
              <span> Communicate with us</span></label> 
            <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="6" cols="50"></textarea> 
          </li> 
          <li class="buttons" style="width: 465px"> 
            <input type="submit" value="Send Message" id="submit" /> 
          </li> 
        </ol> 
      </form>

Judging that error message, looks like you'll have to use SMTP authentication style email rather than the PHP function provided one.

To be sure, you could contact your host.
