PHP-Programs - Smtp_port setting in php.ini

Hi all,

i'm using XAMPP.1.7.7 server to test my php file and i'm having the following error while testing a php file. Can someone tell me how to configure "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\TestsPHP\Chap4\RE4-2-ContactForm.php on line 115

Thanks.

Hi,

you need a mailserver to send mails.

Simply use the one provided by XAMPP (Mercury). You need to configure a few things and then start the server in the XAMPP control panel.
