i created a site in wamp and it contained a php contact form that is suppose to send messages to a predefined e-mail address. but whenever i use it, they will display the following INSTEAD OF SENDING THE MESSAGE:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\NDSTB\contact.php on line 51
THIS IS THE CONTENT OF 50 and 51 respectively:
// if validation passed ok then send the email
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_content);
THE IS THE CONTENT OF THE WHOLE CODE OF THE PHP CONTACT FORM:
<?php
// Set email variables
$email_to = 'dannytyls@yahoo.com';
$email_subject = 'Form submission';
// Set required fields
$required_fields = array('fullname','email','comment');
// set error messages
$error_messages = array(
'fullname' => 'Please enter a Name to proceed.',
'email' => 'Please enter a valid Email Address to continue.',
'comment' => 'Please enter your Message to continue.'
);
// Set form status
$form_complete = FALSE;
// configure validation array
$validation = array();
// check form submittal
if(!empty($_POST)) {
// Sanitise POST array
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) $_POST[$key] = remove_email_injection(trim($value));
// Loop into required fields and make sure they match our needs
foreach($required_fields as $field) {
// the field has been submitted?
if(!array_key_exists($field, $_POST)) array_push($validation, $field);
// check there is information in the field?
if($_POST[$field] == '') array_push($validation, $field);
// validate the email address supplied
if($field == 'email') if(!validate_email_address($_POST[$field])) array_push($validation, $field);
}
// basic validation result
if(count($validation) == 0) {
// Prepare our content string
$email_content = 'New Website Comment: ' . "\n\n";
// simple email content
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
if($key != 'submit') $email_content .= $key . ': ' . $value . "\n";
}
// if validation passed ok then send the email
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_content);
// Update form switch
$form_complete = TRUE;
}
}
function validate_email_address($email = FALSE) {
return (preg_match('/^[^@\s]+@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}$/i', $email))? TRUE : FALSE;
}
function remove_email_injection($field = FALSE) {
return (str_ireplace(array("\r", "\n", "%0a", "%0d", "Content-Type:", "bcc:","to:","cc:"), '', $field));
}
?>
