thank you for your help. its not my real username, i just didnt want my email to look like a default, looks pretty real though. might as well leave it just to spam their spam
ok i removed username and password from php.ini
so if i dont use the sendmail.ini way (uncommenting sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t") then what do i add to the below script to send an email to include my username and password
<?php
mail("zerre@comcast.net","this is subject","this is message");
?>
should that do it? is there anything to the default xampp installation needed to be uncommented etc for it to work?
if i go the sendmail.ini way and comment out this information, like so
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP = smtp.comcast.net
;smtp_port = 25
and edit the xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini file, do you know what i should change?
below is the sendmail.ini as i have it currently
i am sending to a Comcast email account if you have familiarity with setting this type of email it would probaly make things clearer
thank you for your help
- Code: Select all
; configuration for fake sendmail
; if this file doesn't exist, sendmail.exe will look for the settings in
; the registry, under HKLM\Software\Sendmail
[sendmail]
; 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.
smtp_server=localhost
; smtp port (normally 25)
smtp_port=25
; 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 you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify
;default_domain=local
; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging
;error_logfile=error.log
; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging
;debug_logfile=debug.log
; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines
;auth_username=
;auth_password=
; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the
; following three lines
;pop3_server=mail.comcast.net
;pop3_username=
;pop3_password=
; to force the sender to always be the following email address, uncomment and
; populate with a valid email address. this will only affect the "MAIL FROM"
; command, it won't modify the "From: " header of the message content
;force_sender=me@localhost
; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting. you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required
;hostname=localhost
