From: Shreyas Agasthya on 1 Jul 2010 09:09 PHP'ers, I am sure this would have been asked a zillion times but I take this as my turn to get some help. I hate to ask such rhetorical questions but quite couldn't understand how to tweak this. All I am trying to do is send a mail from my localhost to my Gmail ID. I read stuff about how the SMTP port should be accessible; should be open et al. My set-up is very simple: 1. Using Easy PHP. 2. Windows XP Also, when the comment says that you need to 'configure' your php.ini, which ..ini should I modify? The reason being, I see that file in two locations, apparently. (i) C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\apache (ii) C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\conf_files *My php.ini (will remove the semi-colon)* * * ; For Win32 only. ;SMTP = localhost ;smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = me(a)example.com *My code: * * * * <?php * $from= "shreyasbr(a)gmail.com"; $to ="shreyasbr(a)gmail.com"; $subject = "PHP Testing"; $message = "Test Me"; mail ($to,$subject,$message,'From:'.$from); ?> * * * Regards, *Shreyas Agasthya

That error message is because you're trying to connect to an SMTPS (secure, SSL-encrypted SMTP) server using plain text, which won't work. If you have a plain SMTP server running, try that to get one thing resolved at a time. Change the port to 25 in your php.ini (and, again, restart Apache) if plain SMTP is available on the default port. -- </Daniel P.

From: Shreyas Agasthya on 1 Jul 2010 11:12 Not sure where I am top-posting. I posted to my own mail so that one gets to know the latest. Nevertheless, I wouldn't go against the guidelines as I completely understand the havoc that it can create. The port is 587 as per Google; SMTP that I am using is Google's (anything wrong here?). If there is a rudimentary mistake that I am doing, please guide me.

Trying again; most likely I cannot do this without SSL. --Shreyas On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 8:42 PM, Shreyas Agasthya <shreyasbr(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Not sure where I am top-posting.
