Example 1 - Register.Php

[skybird 1]

Hi Larry,

I have a problem on sending email to my real email address upon completing my registration.

 

The error message displayed upon clicking Next button :

An error occurred in script 'C:\xampp\htdocs\virtual_product\register.php' on line 115:

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()

Array

.......

 

I've found that after my registration, 1)the registering info can be seen in the database. 2) both login and logout are working by using the registering info.

 

Your advice, pls.

 

xampp 1.7.3

php 5.3.1

Have you configured Xampp to be able to send mail yet? It isn't a default setting.

Thank you Jonathon for your kind guide.

I searched on xampp mercury mail server threads, and found the link below fits my need:

Good work! If not there are posts on here about how to do it. It's fairly simple to get a working mail server locally so I found.
