How To Make Mail() Work?


Recommended Posts

I'm following Script 8.10 now. I want to send an email to my Gmail address by using mail() function. But I don't know how to adjust the PHP configuration.

 

In Appendix A, Larry mentioned we may need to adjust the php.ini file, but how?

 

Also, I saw on some other websites that I may also need to configure the Mercury/32. Is this true? If yes, how?

 

I'm using XAMPP on Windows 7.

Same problem here.  I followed a couple of online tutorials and two YouTube videos but still couldn't get it working.  We do actually need a proper guide for this.  I'm using XAMPP on Win 7 as well.  Like you,  I'm trying to send from Mercury Mail (inside XAMPP) to GMail.  Actually, I couldn't get it working with Thunderbird either.  I moved on to the next chapter and promised myself I would revisit the mail problem later.
