PHP and SMTP
 

How can I get PHP in Windows (4.3.0) to work with my SMTP server so I can send e-mails with mail()?

There is a free Windows SMTP server that you can download for local testing. If you want me to scrounge up the URL for you, I will.

I can't use my regular SMTP server because it requires authentication and I could never figure out how to configure that in the php.ini file.

this on a localhost? if so its just a case of recompiling php to use it.

It's localhost but on Windows so I probably won't have to recompile, just edit php.ini.

Amy: not looking for an SMTP server, just looking for a way to get it to connect to my host's server.

That's easy. I am enclosing my php.ini file as php.txt Look for SMTP in it and change localhost to the IP of your SMTP server.

Cheers :)

Now I have to turn off mail functions in my test vB before I start accidently spamming random people :D
