email from php script

[gordongong]

I think I read some time ago that the sendmail via smtp will not work from php script(like the vbulletin board), am I correct? Please confirm. How about set up linux account? Will email via php work?

What I said was the PHP mail function on windows doesn't work. You'll need to use an alternative function that sends email via a SMTP server

This is only a Windows issue

And the PHP mail function doesn't work on Windows because Windows SMTP requires authentication unlike on Linux.

Could you please tell how to fix it?
I'm using PHP an MySQL (for the first time) on Windows Me,
and I get the following message:

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:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\phpnuke\modules\Your_Account\index.php on line 657

Thank you.
