  • I like PHPMailer. You can see how to use it here http://stackoverflow.com/a/8629554/1477388 which is a solution for gmail smtp, but you can use it for yahoo smtp, too. You can download it here http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/files/phpmailer%20for%20php4/0.90/ – user1477388 Mar 10 '13 at 13:26

You can config the section '[mail function]' in php.ini. And set SMTP to your SMTP Server, and smtp_port set to 25 which is the standard port used for SMTP connections.

In gmail, the setting is like below:

SMTP: smtp.gmail.com

Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587

Port for SSL: 465

Hope this help you.

  • I think you can try the following code, and you'll get know what I mean. $mail= new PHPMailer(); $mail->IsSMTP(); $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; $mail->Port = 587; $mail->CharSet = "utf-8"; $mail->Username = "xxx@gmail.com"; $mail->Password = "your password"; – waynner Mar 10 '13 at 15:08
