Problem With Sending Email Through PHP

Postby michaelli321 » 23. August 2011 18:45

I created a form that was supposed to send an email to me, but I get this error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry. in C:\xampp\htdocs\email.php on line 25

Here is my code:
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>Contact Me</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Contact Me</h1>
    <?php # Script 10.1 - email.php
   
    // Check for form submission:
    if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
       
        // Minimal for validation:
        if (!empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['comments']) ) {
           
            // Create the body:
            $body = "Name: {$_POST['name']}\n\nComments: {$_POST['comments']}";
           
            // Make it no longer than 70 characters long:
            $body = wordwrap($body, 70);
           
            // Send the email:
            mail('li.michael1998@gmail.com', 'Contact Form Submission', $body, "From: {$_POST['email']}");
           
            // Print a message:
            echo '<p><em>Thank you for contacting me. I will reply some day.</em></p>';
           
            // Clear $_POST (so that the form's not sticky):
            $_POST = array();
           
        } else {
            echo '<p style="font-weight: bold; color: #C00">Please fill out the form completely.</p>';
        }
       
    } // End of main isset() IF.
   
    // Create the HTML form:
    ?>
    <p>Please fill out this form to contact me.</p>
    <form action="email.php" method="post">
        <p>Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="30" maxlength="60" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['name'])) echo $_POST['name']; ?>" /></p>
        <p>Email Address: <input type="text" name="email" size="30" maxlength="80" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['email'])) echo $_POST['email']; ?>" /></p>
        <p>Comments: <textarea name="comments" rows="5" cols="30"><?php if (isset($_POST['comments'])) echo $_POST['comments']; ?></textarea></p>
        <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send!" /></p>
        <p><input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>


I'm not sure if I need to download something else, or configure php.ini or what. Any help?

You probably need to configure both PHP and Sendmail (assuming you did not do so already)

try looking at this:

Good Luck
