Actually, I am using LOCALHOST. I've created a form to allow visitors to contact me via email. I am using PHP mail function but it doesn't work. The error is which is mentioned in the else statement.
HTML
<form id="contact" method="post" action="contact us.php">
<h1>Contact us</h1>
<label for="subject">Subject:(required)</label>
<input type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Enter your subject.." required/></br>
<label for="email">E-mail:(required)</label>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter your email.." required/></br>
<label for="website">Website:(optional)</label>
<input type="url" name="website" placeholder="Enter your website.."/></br>
<label for="message">Message:(required)</label>
<textarea placeholder="Enter your message.." required="required" rows="12" name="message"></textarea></br>
<input type="submit" name="send" value="Send message"/>
</form>
PHP
<?php
if(isset($_POST['send']))
{
$to = "some@email.com";
$from = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$header = "From:".$from;
mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $header))
{
echo "<script>alert('mail was sent successfully!');</script>";
}
else
{
echo "<script>alert('mail was not sent!');</script>";
}
}
?>
The main error which appears in the browser is:
Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\PCzone\contact us.php on line 268
