Sending Registration Confirmation Emails

Hi all,

Is anyone else struggling sending registration confirmation emails:

My code is below but I receive php.ini notices about smtp_port = 25.

Language: PHP
//Email registration confirmation
								$to=$form_value[14];
								$mailsent=mail($to,$subject,$emailmessage,$headers);
								echo $mailsent ? "Mail Sent" : "Mail Failed";
								if($mailsent){
									$message=$message."<br>"."Email successfully sent to ".$to;
								}
								else{
									$message=$message."<br>"."Registration Email Not Sent.";
								}

So my questions are:-

- do we need to define config parameters in the config file?
- can emails work through gmail?
- is the code correct? Hope so.

Look forward to your assistance.

Cheers
Ian

Answered elsewhere - you cannot send emails using XAMPP or EasyPHP because they are not connected to the Internet

Thanks Mac,

Managed to find a solution in the previous issues raised.

Ended up using PHPMailer successfully.

Thanks again
