Hi all,
im new to php so please be easy on me :slight_smile:
im trying to send an email from flash using php, but for some reason it wont work. Im testing locally to see if i can do this with this code.

// code used
<?php
mail(“didosh@wanadoo.fr”, $subject, $message, “From: PHPMailer
Reply-To: $from
X-Mailer: PHP/” . phpversion());
?>

// output
Warning: Failed to connect to mailserver, verify your “SMTP” setting in php.ini in c:\phpdev\www est\mail.php3 on line 2

i have no idea what "SMTP"is or how to find it even less about the php.ini file

any help would be greatful

while you are waiting for an answer to your question, I can tell you where php.ini file should be.
I used installing php server w/apachi tutorial from kirupa tutorials. on page 2 it talks about this file. LINK

SMTP = Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

SMTP is a protocol for transferring email across the internet.
