I want to set up an email notification system from my forum. Thats easy enough. I know the php for that.
However, I do not know how to set up emails from my website. How do I send out an email from say mywebsite.com - the emails I send out are from midphase.com my webhosts. Do I have to install email - and how?
If I’m not mistaken Swift Mailer will allow you to do that.
That’s the forth parameter of the [fphp]mail[/fphp] function. Try
mail('test@mydomain.com', 'Test', 'This is a test', 'From: info@mydomain.com'."\\r\
");
That last bit should set the sender correctly, though some hosts have this restricted to email addresses they actually know (which makes sense) and some don’t allow it all (which makes a bit less sense, but I can understand it).
Thanks
Thats sorted everything out. Actually I don’t need pop email. I just want emails sent out to seem official… so I set that fourth variable to noreply@myweb.com
