IIS vs PHP
Since my new role on the new office made me to have more contact with PHP and IIS,
i will try to share some trick and tips to bridging those two platform
This week I spend more than two days to figuring out how to using PHP mail function under IIS7
previously I have configure phpmail setting under xampp platform, on that platform you only need to make sure PHP.ini and sendmail.ini is working good.
but on IIS you need to install smtp service on the server.
and Finally I found this GREAT tutorial from LEARN.IIS.NET
Fyi LEARN.IIS.NET is very reliable website for you that want to search anything.. yap anything about IIS especially IIS7
so this is the problem. I need to have my email notification from TYPO3 to be work on my IIS server, my email server is on the other location and it need login authentication (username and password).
first of all, you need to check php.ini configuration
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@example.com
; configuration above will use your smtp server as the bridge to remote smtp server
Install SMTP on your server
and configure it correctly
You can find detail step here
then you can use code bellow for testing
<?php
$to = “me@example.com”;
$subject = “Test mail”;
$message = “Hello! This is a simple email message.”;
$from = “me@example.com”;
$headers = “From:” . $from;
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) {
echo(“<p>Message successfully sent!</p>”);
} else {
echo(“<p>Message delivery failed…</p>”);
}
?>
happy codding …
