SMTP Server??? wha? damn php...

Post by Akashio » Thu Oct 03, 2002 1:42 am

I'm installing PHP, right? And during the install, it asks me for the SMTP Server and the corresponding email address. I dont get it. What's a SMTP address and how do i find out what mine is. I have hosting and a FTP address and everything, but I don't know what to fill in there. Please help me :oops:

Unless you're going to use the mail() function, you can ignore these --- leave localhost and it should be happy.

Otherwise, your ISP should of given them to you; an SMTP server is called "outgoing mail server" by Outlook, I believe.
