config SMTP mail

[hans9]

Hi,

Just installed PHPMyFAQ. It works.
But It ought to be possible to send mail to the users. So I want to use the SMTP server of my ISP provider using i.e. smtp.xyz.com

How to configure this?

Thanks.

Hans.

Hi,

you can do this directly in your PHP settings, currently not in phpMyFAQ. phpMyFAQ uses the plain PHP mail() function.

Thanks,

PHP PEAR was missing.

I've installed this but what/where to put the SMTP and authentication data?

I've found some examples explaining how to write my own PHP scripts with mail() but none about where to put what in combination with i.e. phpMyFAQ?

Hi,

What should be filled inin the php.ini file?

found in /usr/share/php/mail.php and smtp.php also the authentication settings. But that didn't solve the problem.

any suggestions?

Hi,

thank for the patch.

I've installed sendmail. Don't know why but I can send myself a (pasword) mail.

Hi,

if you have sendmail everything should work out of the box. PHP's mail() function uses sendmail by default.
