2 problems: Send Email(Localhost) & Generate image
 

Hello,
I have 2 questions about:

1) I can't send Email from localhost! why?
Error: Warning: mail() [function.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

2) I can't generate CAPTCHA image on page! why?

Thanks, regards.

The first one implies that you don't have a mail server configured on your localhost. Find the SMTP address of your ISP, and use that. That's what I do. Then from within the php.ini file you may change the SMTP line to that of your ISP's.

Moreover, welcome to the community! :-)

Indeed. The first, as Adam already explained tells you to input a smtp.isp.suffix.

The second one is a PHP module to be activated. CAPTCHA images are used by imagelibs which you can active through the module list. Which one, differs at each version (XAMP, WAMP).

Tnx for reply.

Can i send Email with this:
SMTP = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp_port = 465

and what is file mod_info.so/mod_cache.so/mod_status.so/ or... and how can i use that?

Thansk ;).

You'll be lucky if you can use Gmail's. They have a lot of security -- such as encryption, but I am sure if you can work out how to supply it with what it wants, you'd be able to use it. Otherwise I would pick a SMTP server that's not so secure, such as your ISP's. They will let you use theirs.

And about:
File mod_info.so/mod_cache.so/mod_status.so/...?

I find this for Email: XPertMailer - Advanced PHP Mail Engine
