Send email from xampp localhost

-
Send email from xampp localhost. Follow the easy steps
  1. Goto http://glob.com.au/sendmail/, download latest sendmail package.
  2. Extract the zip file and copy the files into your \xampp\sendmail folder(Replace every file in the existing folder).
  3. Update the sendmail.ini file in sendmail folder with the following details, and make sure it is not commented(;).

    smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
    smtp_port=25
    error_logfile=error.log
    debug_logfile=debug.log
    auth_username=yourname@gmail.com
    auth_password=gmailpassword
    force_sender=yourname@gmail.com
    Here i have added gmail account for sending emails.
  4. Open xampp\php\php.ini file find sendmail_path and update its value to "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t". Now it will look like below

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

    Make sure it's not commented(;)
  5. Restart your apache server.

Now you can send email from xampp localhost! enjoy :-)

    I've tried all your steps. I've checked "error.log" and "debug.log" and its blank. No error found.

    This is my php code:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    $from = FROM_EMAIL;
    $to = TO_EMAIL;
    $subject = FHD_TITLE . ' New Registration';
    // message
    $message = '


    New Registration


    New User Registration
    Name: ' . $name . '
    Login: ' . $login . '
    Email: ' . $email . '


    ';
    $headers = "From:" . $from . "\r\n";
    $headers .="Reply-To: " . $from . "\r\n";
    $headers .="MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
    $headers .="Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
    if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
    {
    echo "Message Sent";
    }
    else
    {
    echo "Message Sending Failed";
    }

    Message appear on the page is "Message Sent". But no incoming email received.
    Can you help me with this?

    I think you could try changing the smtp_port:25 in senmail.ini file to smtp_port:587

    Hi & thank you very much!
    I have tried many others instructions around the web and after a fat hour of trying nothing work for me!
    I think the key for me was outdated sendmail.exe (year 2009). So update instruction must be crucial.

    How to simply test outside of wordpress?

    1. Create PHP file with code:



    2. Execute

We can easily modify product price after placing order in magento using the event sales_quote_add_item . We can see this hook registered in app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote.php line:874. This is the event created by magento.

Convert long url to short url using tinyurl api

-
Tinyurl provides us a short and simple service to convert long URL to small(tiny) URL. We can send email without link breakage. Here is the tinyurl api to get shorten url. You can use any of the method. Method 1: Use file_get_contents to fetch tinyurl. echo file_get_contents('http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://www.websnippetz.com'); file_get_contents is not working? If your are able to access php.ini file set allow_url_fopen = On or you can use the below method. Method 2: Use cURL (runs faster than file_get_contents) to fetch tinyurl. function get_tiny_url($url) { $url = "http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url={$url}"; $ch = curl_init(); $timeout = 5; curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $data; } echo get_tiny_url('http://www.websnippetz.com');
