Hey my friends ... I was using mail() function but some error occured

this is the code

<php
$to='compnay@yahoo.com';//this is my personal address .... I changed it for security while posting to this site
$from=$_POST['txtEmail'];
$title=$_POST['txtTitle'];
$body=$_POST['txtMsg'];


if($_POST['form1'].submit)// to check wheter the form has been sent or not
 //echo 'thank you' ;
 {
	mail($to,$title,$body,'From:'.' '.$from);
	echo '<h1 >Thank you!
 </h1>
<p>Email sent. We will contact you as soon as possible
 </p><p><br /></p>';

 
 
 }
else
 echo 'not submitted';


?>

when I use the above code this error occured

Warning: mail() [function.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:\wamp\www\Hiwi\send.php on line 26
Thank you!

Email sent. We will contact you as soon as possible

Can any body help me on this? I thought it was because I wasnt connected to the internet ..... even after I connected to the internet it comes again.
Is it because my site is not posted ? I am just working on it....

Any suggestions ....

Thank you

I take it you don't have an SMTP server on your localhost as that is what the error means.

You need to configure your php.ini with SMTP settings for a different, external SMTP server if you don't have one installed on your localhost.

You can find lots of information about your problem by doing a simple Google search[^] with your error message.

If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.

"i call it like localhost/printenv.pl"

But, you should call it like this:

localhost/cgi-bin/printenv.pl

I assume that it's your intention for the last line to be repeated?

Why not just run through a loop, printing out a string and adding an extra character to it each iteration.
Once the loop has been run the correct number of times, print the last result again and you're done!

Think about the output needed:

*<br>
**<br>
***<br>
****<br>
*****<br>
*****<br>

Clearly, displaying each line involves printing the text, followed by printing a <br>

Perhaps you'd find the output line looking something like this:

printf("%s<br>", $starString);

Check your configuration of your MyBB Forum is using the pc name / ip address as the hostname and not "localhost"

how to make a link like this site(Code project's thread Subjcect)?

Re: how to make a link like this site(Code project's thread Subjcect)?

19-Oct-09 21:03

Hey friends I am developing web page for some music production. What I wanted to ask is, there are a lot of links for a lot of lyrics. If I put the lyrics with their file name and when the user presses the link it reads the file and displays on a new page. But this is really bad(too slow). So I decided to do like CODEPROJECT's site did. i.e when we click one question(or answer) on a thread it display the message @ that page with in a fraction of mili second. So can any body help me how to do that so that I can display the lyrics next to the song as CodeProject's thread did?

I hope I will get some helps soon. Thank you

You need to use javascript and css to show/hide layers.

or use jquery to do it for you:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.post').hide();
   $(".title").click(function(){
             $('.post').show('slow');
          return false;
   });
});
</script>
