registration page not sending email!

[Glenskie]

ok well my registration page is supposed to send out an email so the user can activate his or her account , but it will not send! i am using xampp for my local webhost and my php.ini settings are

 

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

; http://php.net/smtp

SMTP = relay.jangosmtp.net

; http://php.net/smtp-port

smtp_port = 587

 

; For Win32 only.

; http://php.net/sendmail-from

sendmail_from = activate.social@gmail.com

sendmail_path="\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\"-t

 

and my sendmail.ini is

 

account Gmail

tls on

tls_certcheck off

host relay.jangosmtp.net

from activate.social@gmail.com

auth on

user activate.social@gmail.com

password mypassword

 

port 587

 

account default : Gmail

 

 

and now here is my php script that sends the mail but it wont send , the reason i put those .ini files in here is because that is what xampp uses to send mail.

here is the php script

<?php
$to = "$email1";// which is established further up on the script which is to big!

    $from = 'activate.social@gmail.com'; // same email used in php.ini and sendmail.ini but wont send
    $subject = 'Complete Your ' . $dyn_www . ' Registration';
    //Begin HTML Email Message
    $message = "Hi $username,

   Complete this step to activate your login identity at $dyn_www

   Click the line below to activate when ready

   http://$dyn_www/activation.php?id=$id&sequence=$db_password
   If the URL above is not an active link, please copy and paste it into your browser address bar

   Login after successful activation using your:  
   E-mail Address: $email1 
   Password: $pass1

   See you on the site!";
   //end of message
$headers  = "From: $from\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text\r\n";

    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); // supposed to send but wont
?>

php's mail function does not support smtp authentication. You would need to use PEAR::MAIL, SwiftMailer, or a similar class if you need to authenticate.
