Sending an Email through PHP

1der

I keep getting this error:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first 54sm18869925ugp in C:\WebServer\wamp\www\WebSite3\mailtest.php on line 8
fail
....when i try to run this code
<?php

ini_set("SMTP","smtp.gmail.com");
ini_set("SMTP_PORT","465");
ini_set("sendmail_from","ertyu@gmail.com");

if (mail("ertyu@gmail.com","This is a test","This is the body",
"From: ertyu@gmail.com\r\nContent-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"))
{

print "Success";
}
else
{
print "fail";
}

?>

but my mail works fine in outlook,
am i doing something wrong?

is there any other mail service besides gmail that you can use for free with outlook and stuff?

I think gmail is looking for SSL authentification maybe?

I see you are using IIS. so you can use IIS SMTP service to send emails.

What webserver are you using if you're not using IIS? Maybe I'll lock this thread ...

seamus

He's using WAMP. See, there are things more evil than IIS...

You can't do it with the php mail() function. You'd have to hand-code a class or set of functions using sockets that would do it for you.

Easier to just use your ISP's mail server instead...
