jemmm Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi there, I'm new to php and I was wondering if it is possible to send the account activation email referred to in chapter 16 of the book using localhost and if so if anyone has any information on how to go about doing this. I am using Wamp Server and Php MyAdmin. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathon Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'm not sure as i don't use WAMP. But i imagine its the same as XAMPP. If you look in your php.ini file you should be able to set the send mail settings. Just google it i'm sure there are tons of people blogging it. Let me know how you get on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Someone correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know WAMP doesn't come with a mail server? XAMPP comes packaged with Mercury Mail Server so might be easier to install that rather than installing Mercury or HMail yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
