Hi jemz. Welcome to the forums.

Unless you know a bit of PHP, it might be better to use a third party service like WuFoo. Otherwise, here are some links I've gathered over time:

To further ralph.m's recommendations, If you do know a little php then http://swiftmailer.org/ is a fantastic mail library for PHP. It allows you to do a number of advanced things, yet it has great documentation and can also be set to the most basic of needs.

I was using http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/ in a couple of projects. Easy to use, very robust.

Hi, i downloaded now the swiftmailer and also i extracted it, but i don't know how to use this.

[ralph.m]

do i have something to do or to have configuration in my php.ini inorder to perform this sending mail...

Doing this from your local computer often does require something extra like this. It's easier just to test this online. Have you checked out the swiftmailer documentation?

this is my code this is the first time i use swift mailer but i find dificulty to use.

<?php



require_once './lib/swift_required.php';

function swiftmailer_configurator() {
    // configure Swift Mailer

    Swift_DependencyContainer::getInstance();
    Swift_Preferences::getInstance();
}

Swift::init('swiftmailer_configurator');
Swift::init('swiftmailer_configurator');



// Create the Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('localhost', 25)
  ->setUsername('root')
  ->setPassword('')
  ;
  
// Sendmail
$transport = Swift_SendmailTransport::newInstance('/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs');  
  
 //MAIL 
$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();


// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);





// Create the message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()





  // Give the message a subject
  ->setSubject('This is my subject')

  // Set the From address with an associative array
  ->setFrom(array('mygmail@gmail.com' => 'John Doe'))

  // Set the To addresses with an associative array
  ->setTo(array('tomyemail@yahoo.com' => 'A name'))

  // Give it a body
  ->setBody('Here is the message itself testing....!')


  ;



// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);

 if($result==1)
   echo 'successfully send';
else {
	 echo 'failed to send';
}

Can i use swiftmailer only for development purposes i am just in local computer but i have internet connection i just want to try to send email using swiftmailer,I hope you understand what i mean.

PHP and server stuff is not my area, and I haven't used swiftmailer. You might need to earch for info on setting up your local server, such as this:

Hi ralph, thank you for the reply...okay i will try this link maybe this will help me..

Hi jemz,

The best way to test this is to set up a local WAMP or LAMP stack on your development computer. In swiftmailer use whatever smtp you use for your regular email and route via localhost or 127.1.0.0. The php can be ran and tweaked under the LAMP stack.

I recommend keeping it the simplest configuration at first - until you get the mail flowing - and then add complexity as you go.

I don't have time right now to go through your configuration, so hopefully this helps get you pointed in the right direction.

Steve

You will use the smtp that your ISP provides. Normally they publish this on their web-site; however you can also call them to determine what is their non-authenticated SMTP.

Hi, THank you for the reply..i am just using wi-fi from my neighbor and i paid to them every month.

[ralph.m]

You'll need to ask your neighbors what ISP they use, if you don't know.

Thank you ralph for the reply....Okay but what if they don't?....is there any other ways to get the ISP

[ralph.m]

but what if they don't?

Check to see if they lack a pulse. That's the only reason I can think why they wouldn't know.

They can just check their bill to see whom they pay.

Then go to the website of their ISP and find out what their smtp is.
