Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : Problem: using php mail script on windows server

[demopoint]

I have a few scripts for a client that is based on a windows server.. these scri[pts work flawless on Unix type servers but are giving me problems on this windows server for my client.

The host enabled PHP to be used and it works on some scripts, but this form mail script I have is not working on it for some reason..

Heres the errors:

Heres part of the PHP.INI file... can someone help me.. can something be changed in the PHP.INI file for this.. again it works fine in Unix type servers but on this windows machine it bugs out and doesnt mail

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost ; for Win32 only
sendmail_from= extweb@ngenx(dot)com ; for Win32 only

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = extweb@ngenx(dot)com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =



and this one
; Issue a PHP warning for each failed assertion.
;assert.warning = On

can these 2 be causing it

This should be in the programing section and can you paste a snippet of the code from line 47, 50 and so on? sounds like you need to set a config file somewhere and didn't do so.

Not sure if this would help you. But when putting a mail script of mine onto a windows box, I was getting the undefined variable errors as well. But works fine on a linux box.

I had to place the form contents for example

$name=$_POST['name'];

above my variables

$subject
$message

etc.

Not sure if this is the case with yours, but fixed mine up.

The code may not have been written to work on a Windows platform. I know that when I code, it's only for a Unix/Linux platform. That's all I can really add to this thread, sorry.

The notices are for variable that are being used but are not defined. You should check to make sure that the script is properly including all files that it requires. Also check the PHP version of both servers.

register_globals has been turned off by default on recent php versions (from 4.2+ I believe). If your script relies on register globals, then you will be getting those notices.

Also, for Windows servers, you have to make sure that the following line

SMTP = localhost ; for Win32 only

in your php.ini points to a server that is running SMTP. Its not always localhost (which is a symbolic name for the server the script is running on).

Without seeing the code itself, these are the only hints I can give you.

I checked those varibles, and they were being used and defined, but like me check on the hostname and globals
