Failed To Connect To Mailserver - Use The Site From An External Computer
This issue is really annoying me, I dont know why its happening. I did a PHP site for a client and it uses the php mail() function. The site is now live and works fine. It seems that whenever a user who is internal to the site as in, if they use the site from within the network that the site is served. The mail function fails with:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "theServer" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in (...the php.ini file).
(I have changed the name of the server and the file path to the php.ini here for security reasons.)But When I use the site from an external computer, like anyone else
would, it works fine. Im yet to confirm weather every email request from an external site works ok. But I think so. What could be the problem? Would it matter that the request to the web server is internal or not?

Failed To Connect To Mailserver
I am running IIS5 on my XP Pro home computer and am unable to send email through my ISP's mail server. In the PHP.INI are two lines: smtp = smtp.telus.net smtp_port = 25 I have opened port 25 on my own computer (do I need to though?) and I am able to telnet to the ISP's SMTP server. When I try to send an email from my PHP page I get the well-known error message: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in [filename] on line 40. The strange thing is, the mail() function seems to be trying to connect to "localhost" and not "smtp.telus.net". There is only one PHP.INI file (in C:WINDOWS) and I have run phpinfo() to confirm that this indeed is the INI file being loaded. However phpinfo() states that the SMTP server is "localhost" and not "smtp.telus.net". I added an ini_set("smtp", "smtp.telus.net") right before the mail()function and got the same error: unable to connect to "localhost". I am not running IIS's SMTP service.

How To Get HTML From External Site.
I need to somehow get the HTML source from an external site and use the data from the HTML on my site. The only problem that the information I need in the HTML is generated from a database on the external site, so the information I need is not in the HTML on my site if I use include, fopen etc. I was wondering if there was a way to get the HTML source directly or Cache it somehow?

Matching External Data With Database For Dynamic Site
I have a table with 4 columns where I'm showing 900 products, each product in it's own row The first column has the name of the product, that is coming from our database. The next 2 columns are ratings for each product, These ratings are gathered from 2 different external web pages. The reason that this rating are being grabbed from an external page it's because they change and are updated on a daily basis at their respective site. The last column is a final rating we give to each product based on a calculation of the 2 previous columns. The main idea is that the information updates automatically as the external sites do. The problem is matching the data for each product. Code:

Can't Connect To DB On Live Site
I've done some maintenance work on a clients database locally and the connecting .php pages. on my local box and have tested, tested, tested. Works perfect. Then I deployed the changes. First I deleted the entire DB on the live site via my hosts MyPHPAdmin application. maybe I shouldn't have done that did a mysql dump of my local DB via sqlyog and uploaded the dump live to the host. I took a look at the live database and everythings there but my .php pages are not able to read the DB. Could it be that when I deleted the old database that the password for that database has been deleted as well? If so, does anyone know how I can set a password for the new live database via myphpadmin? Is there anything else I can consider to solve this immediate problem?

"blind" Script Logging In External Site?
I need to have a PHP script executed "blindly" (that is, not by a browser, but by a simple call to the URL from a monitering service) log on an external PHP site which as far as I can tell use a standard PHP session system, and then execute a form on that site. This seems to require the following steps: - Post the login form (only works with POST) to create session, get session ID back - Post the other form (both POST & GET works with this one), sending the session ID as a cookie Anyone knows how to do that in a single PHP script? The second part could be done via a simple include, except for the cookie, and for the first one I have no idea.
