|Welcome back. How do we fix this "'Sendmail from not set in php dot ini" error.
|-
|0:11
|We haven't determined who the email is from.
|-
|0:18
|We need to do this in order to send the email.
|-
|0:23
|We won't use something like a "from" parameter here.
|-
|0:29
|We need to send to specific headers.
|-
|0:32
|So here we create a "headers" variable which is not equal to something like "me @me.com"
|-
|0:43
|What we need to do is work with the standardised mail header and that is "From:" and a colon not semi colon and then we say for example "php academy"
|-
|0:54
|Or you could say something like "admin @php academy" and add ".com" if you like.
|-
|1:02
|I don't actually have that domain name but we'll just keep it as that.
|-
|1:08
|So "From: admin @phpacademy.com".
|-
|1:11
|Inside our mail we need to add another parameter now which is "headers".
|-
|1:18
|And now we come here and you can type "Alex" and here "This is a test!"
|-
|1:24
|Click on "Send me this" and we face another error.
|-
|1:27
|Now I am not actually running a mail server on my computer.
|-
|1:33
|If you don't want to run a mail server on your computer, google for at mail free mail server and this will install a mail server on your computer just like we are doing now running on a local host.
|-
|1:46
|And you will have a SMTP mail server running under local host.
|-
|1:54
|Now as I don't have a mail server, I will use my university email system which is the DNS or the "Domain Name Server" of my university email
|-
|2:06
|That's the way my email is sent through my university.
|-
|2:11
|If you know a specific DNS Server, if you have a domain name already, if you have a website you will know it or you will be able to find it, at least.
|-
|2:22
|You will be able to send an email through that.
|-
|2:27
|I know that my university email DNS server is "mailhost dot shef dot ac dot uk" because I'm in Sheffield university.
|-
|2:36
|So I need to incorporate this into my "php dot ini".
|-
|2:41
|And the best way to do this is to come here and setup our variables
|-
|2:46
|okay we need 2 - set SMTP in "php dot ini"
|-
|2:59
|And instead of opening up my "php dot ini" file ,I'll just use the "ini set" function.
|-
|3:05
|And the variable name is "SMTP".
|-
|3:12
|So we are editing this line inside our "php dot ini" file.
|-
|3:16
|And I type the mail host in there as the value.
|-
|3:20
|Here we just say echo "get ini" which gets a specific value.
|-
|3:25
|Next I'll say SMTP and that can just kill the script there.
|-
|3:30
|So we can see how this works.
|-
|3:32
|So if I say "Alex" and then "Test" and click on "Send me this".
|-
|3:40
|Oh! Sorry I have typed this completely wrong. Big mistake. That is "ini get" and lets refresh that.
|-
|3:52
|Okay we are basically setting our "SMTP" inside our "ini" file to "mail host dot shef dot ac dot uk".
|-
|3:59
|And then we will echo out the value of this.
|-
|4:03
|So this just tells me that that is set to "mail host dot shef dot ac dot uk".
|-
|4:10
|Presuming this mail host server or DNS server works, then the rest of the code will work.
|-
|4:17
|After sending our mail I'll just kill the page.
|-
|4:24
|Um.... no I won't . I'll just kill the page.
|-
|4:28
|Lets go back and say "Alex" and "This is a test".
|-
|4:36
|Just checking that everything is okay. We've got my "to", my "subject", my "headers" saying "From:admin@phpacademy.com".
|-
|4:45
|And our body in here and we are executing our mail function.
|-
|4:51
|So when I click "Send me this", nothing happens. We've got no errors so we can presume that everything has worked.
|-
|4:58
|If I come into my hotmail or my email and click on my INBOX, you can see that we've now got a mail from "admin @ phpacademy dot com".
|-
|5:09
|If we click on it, we have "Email from PHPAcademy" as our subject line that we had set here.
|-
|5:17
|And we have the email address that I specified from.
|-
|5:22
|You can put this as from Alex or from phpacademy.
|-
|5:27
|And then we have "This is an email from Alex" which is the name we gave inside the form here.
|-
|5:35
|And then we have 2 line breaks which are present - 1 and 2
|-
|5:40
|And "This is a test" which is the text I put in there.
|-
|5:46
|So that's a mail function by using my university's DNS mail server.
|-
|5:50
|Your INSP will have a DNS mail server.
|-
|5:55
|It may require authentication on which I will be completing the tutorial soon.
|-
|6:00
|So if this doesn't work for you watch that tutorial or just drop me an email or contact me through my youtube.
|-
|6:09
|OK so I hope that was useful to a lot of people.
|-
|6:13
|Please subscribe if you haven't already.
|-
|6:15
|Alright, thanks for watching. This is Evan Varkey dubbing for the Spoken Tutorial Project. Bye bye.
