How to change the php.ini file for your sites email?

Question

When people sign upto my site it should send them an email talling them their password etc. How do i change the php.ini file to send all mail from my sites email. How do you get the php.ini file too?

Answer 1

You shouldn't. Instead, you need to add a "From:" header to the e-mail.

Answer 2

You don't have to modify anything in your php.ini
the only thing you'll (maybe) need to modify is the "smtp" to point the smtp server you're using.
try this function ;

function sendmail($from,$to,$subject
,$message)
{

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$from."\r\n";

$body=$message;

/**modify this line to use alternate smtp server instead of default server **/

/**ini_set("SMTP",
"smtpserver.com");**/

if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)){return 1;}else{return 0;}
}

/**USAGE**/

if (sendmail("[e-mail]","[e-mail]","any subject","complete message") == 1) {
echo "Succeed";
}
else {
echo "Failed";
}
?>
