I need to send email to my hotmail. below is my php code

 

<?
$from = "test";
$to_mail = "testing@hotmail.com";
$message = "Hello Admin Here is a Request mail from user";

$subject = "Request Mail From User";
$headers = "From: $from \r\n";

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
$message = stripslashes($message);

mail($to_mail, $subject, $message, $headers);
print("Sent");
?>

 

below is the setting in php.ini

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = smtp.live.com

smtp_port = 587

 

; For Win32 only.

sendmail_from = test@hotmail.com

 

however, i receive this msg while i run the script

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\testfolder\testforemail.php on line 13

 

can any one advise?

Since hotmail/live.com requires authentication to send mail, you won't be able to use the mail() function in php for it. You'll need to look into using a class such as PEAR::MAIL, SwiftMailer, et al.
