sendmail binary needed for sending email in PHP

crmpicco · September 30th, 2007, 04:12 PM

Hi,

I believe I require the sendmail binary to be able to send an email automatically from my local machine? How is this done? I don't see it under the "extensions" section in the PHP installer when i try to 'change' under Add Remove/Programs.

ENV: Windows XP Pro SP2/Apache/PHP/MySQL

My [mail function] block inside php.ini looks like:

Code:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [email protected]

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

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

I am attempting to sign-up a new account in my PHPBB2 forum however, when I am trying to send an email it is erroring so doesn't let me test it properly.

Is there something I need to install?
