Looks like the SMTP server requires an encrypted connection, via SSL/TSL. You'll have to adapt the host name and most likely set another port. I'm not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try.
ini_set("SMTP", "ssl://smtp.live.com");
ini_set("smtp_port", "587");


If not, you may want to try something more powerful than the simple mail function built into PHP. Libraries like Swift Mailer and PHPMailer have support for secure connections, amongst other things. They should be able to handle this.

Re: probleme with sending an email

Posted 24 July 2012 - 03:00 AM

I have problem regarding email sending code. I am new to php so i am not much familiar with php. I have written code for email sending for that i retrieve the email id from the database and want to sent email on that email id.The code is as below
<?php
$username=$_POST['uname'];

$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or ("Cannot connect localhost");

mysql_select_db('project',$con) or die("connection field");

$q=mysql_query("select email from admin where uname='$username'");

$numrows=mysql_num_rows($q);

if($numrows!=0)
{
    while( $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($q))
    {
        $emailid = $row['email'];
    }
        $to = $emailid;
        $subject = "Test mail";
        $message = "Your security code is .";
        $from = "abc.sample@gmail.com";
        $headers = "From:" . $from;
            mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
        echo "Mail Sent.";

}
else 
    die ("That username doesnot exist");
?>


It is showing me error as
"Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() on line 29 "
The code on line 29 is" mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); " .
Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

You have an error telling you EXACTLY what the problem is:

Quote

Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() on line 29


So now, go to the Mail Configuration part of the manual and set your server up properly.

Thank you sir i have checked it, it is working. And other way to solve it is, when these files are uploaded on the server it automatically sends the mail it does not show any error.

Because the server has a mail server installed on it?

You don't need a server. You can send with your google account :)
