I'm reading J.Meloni's tutorial on page 119 in "Fast and Easy" and she is explaining using the PHP mail function.
There are two scripts for this example... One is the .html file which lays out the form with input boxes, a textarea box and a submit button. It is: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Simple Feedback Form </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="send_simpleform.php"> <P> <strong> Your name: </strong> <br> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="sender_name" SIZE=30></P> <P> <strong> Your e-mail address: </strong> <br> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="sender_email" SIZE=30></P> <P> <strong> Your message: </strong> <br> <TEXTAREA NAME ="message" COLS=30 ROWS=5 WRAP=virtual></TEXTAREA></P> <P> <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME= "submit" VALUE="Send this form"> </P> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> ........................................................ The next is the PHP script which reads as follows: <? $msg="This e-mail is being sent from www site\n"; $msg.="Sender's name: \t$sender_name\n"; $msg.="Sender's e-mail:\t$sender_email\n"; $msg.="Message:\t$message\n\n"; $to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $subject="Website Feedback"; $mailheaders="From: My website<> \n"; $mailheaders.="Reply to: $sender_email\n\n"; mail($to,$subject,$msg,$mailheaders); ?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Simple Feedback Form</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>The following e-mail has been sent:</H1> <P><strong>Your Name:</strong><br> <?echo "$sender_name";?> <P><strong>Your email address:</strong><br> <?echo "$sender_email";?> <P><strong>Message:</strong><br> <? echo "$message"; ?> </BODY> </HTML> .............................................. Everytime I input a name, e-mail, and test blurb for the message box form and hit submit, I get: Warning: Failed to connect in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\send_simpleform.php in line 10. I have made the corrections in my php.ini file in the [mail function] to read as follows: SMTP=localhost [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please advise if anyone knows what I am doing wrong. Thanking all in advance.
