[Mail Function] - Mail sent but nothing received? Win 7
Posted: 18. June 2013 20:30
Hi, I am trying to set up the mail function for testing purposes however when I execute the simple php script it comes up saying sent but nothing is ever received in my mailbox?
Here is the php script,
Here is my php.ini,
Here is my sendmail.ini,
As you will see from the script I am trying to send the test mail to my hotmail account using my ALT gmail account as the sendmail settings but when I run the script it says mail sent however nothing is received in my hotmail, I have checked the spam etc and refreshed etc but nothing? I have made sure my IMAP/SMTP is enabled in my Gmail settings and pop3 settings are disabled. I am using Xampp 1.8.1 and Win 7
. Anyone know what could be the issue here?
Here is the php script,
- Code: Select all
<?php
$subject="Test mail";
$to="lukeday1990@hotmail.co.uk";
$body="This is a test mail";
if (mail($to,$subject,$body))
echo "Mail sent successfully!";
else
echo"Mail not sent!";
?>
Here is my php.ini,
- Code: Select all
[mail function]
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = lukeaday1990@gmail.com
; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (1): If XAMPP is installed in a base directory with spaces (e.g. c:\program filesC:\xampp) fakemail and ;mailtodisk do not work correctly.
; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (2): In this case please copy the sendmail or mailtodisk folder in your root folder (e.g. C:\sendmail) and use ;this for sendmail_path.
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder)
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe" -t"
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the C:\xampp\mailoutput folder
; sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"
; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =
; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename

; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory. (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
; application.

; none = never try to use SSL

; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided

; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines
