Test Mail() On Development Machine W/o Smtp Server


My development machine (WinXP, Apache 2.2.4) does not have an smtp
server, and I don't really want to install one if I can help it.

Does anyone know of a simple method of testing php scripts that employ
mail() by simulating an smtp server and directing output to a text file
or to an installed text editor.

Right now I can modify the script to use something instead of mail(),
then change it when I put into production, but I would really like to
test the script in its production form w/o having to actually send email.

Mail Problem - Warning: Mail() [function.mail]: SMTP Server Response: 550 Invalid Recipient:
Whenever the recipient's email address includes a hyphen ( - ), I get the following error message...

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Invalid recipient:

I should stress that this only seems to occur when the hyphen is in the URL portion of the address, i.e example@perfect-example.com

The current code works along the lines of...

mail ($_POST['email'], 'Email subject is here', $body, $headers);

SMTP Server Response: 503 This Mail Server Requires Authentication
I get this any time I try to send an email to someone that IS NOT in the domain of the company:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 This mail server requires authentication when attempting to send to a non-local e-mail address. Please check your mail client settings or contact your administrator to verify that the domain or address is defined for this server. in corpevent.php on line 21

I have it setup like this (I removed the email address domain...but its correct in the code):

// INI Settings //
ini_set(sendmail_from,"info@domain.com");
ini_set(SMTP,"mail.domain.com");
ini_set(smtp_port,"25");

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
$headers .= "From: info@domain.com";

$to = $_POST['txtEmail'];
mail($to,"Your Email",$theEmail,$headers);

Why am I not allowed to send an email to anyone that doesn't have a "domain.com" at the end of the email?

Cannot Open Php Pages On My Development Machine
Problem: On my development machine, I cannot open a page with a .php
extension.
- Using FireFox, I get the message: The specified module could not be
found.
- Using IE 6.0, I get the messageL The page cannot be displayed.

What I did:
I first downloaded and ran the Windows Installer for PHP. I then
realized that I should have done a manual installation, so I downloaded
the ZIP file and did the following:
1 - Unzipped the contents to c:PHP and set its security so Everyone
can read/execute
2 - Copied php.ini-dist to w:windowsphp.ini
3 - Edited php.ini:
set -> doc_root = "c:inetpubwwwroot"
set -> extension_dir = "c:phpext"
4 - Set the permissions on php.ini so Everyone could read
5 - Added c:PHP to the system path
6 - Followed the instructions in install.txt entitled "To use the ISAPI
module, do the following:"
7 - Rebooted the computer

Test Server To Live Server - Best Way Of Handling Different File Paths In Scripts?
I have taken over someone else's PHP code and am quite new to PHP. I made
some changes and have implemented them to a live environment fine so far.

However, I now want to setup a test environment. All the PHP scripts start
with a few lines of:

require_once "library file at specific location on server"

and when I move them from the test location to live location I have to
manually apply the changes to each script to reflect the different paths for
each server.

I was thinking of writing a small script that is contained within the same
folder as any folder that contains scripts that actually calls another
require for that server .

E.g.
Have script do_something.php which I am developing regularly.
On live server it starts with
require_once "/home/live/phplib/library.php";
On test server
require_once "/home/test/phplib/library.php";

Currently I apply a manual change this (via global change or whatever) when
moving from Test to Live
However, I might just change all requires to:
require_once "./require.php";

And then have a server specific version of require.php that contains the
necessary requires for the particular server on which it resides.

This way I can just change all the scripts to just require the require.php
file in the same folder as itself. The actual PHP scripts where I do most of
my updates need no changes whether on live or test servers.

I just wanted to know if there was a better way of doing it then this. I
know nothing about directives in PHP or if there was a way of determining
the current server name and then calling different require commands
appropriately.

Trim() Not Working On Development Server
I'm writing a script that will manipulate some pasted text... most of the code uses trim() to clear characters/words from the beginnings of lines. It doesn't work on it's own trim($string) or with the seperate argument trim($string , "text").

The code is fine, it works ok one of our paid for hosting servers (pre-configured), but it won't work on either of our dev servers! All are using Apache. Version info:
Hosting Server (Linux - works)... PHP 4.4.6
Dev 1 (Linux - doesnt work)... PHP 4.3.9
Dev 2 (Windows doesnt work)... PHP 5.2.1

It's stumped me! I always assumed that something as simple as trim() would be enabled by default. Can anyone shed any light?

all the checks are done using this and I just want to parse all this info without the user having any control / knowledge of it at all.

It's for an image upload script which has been built already, but I want lots of differing quality thumbnails to be generated, but the current code keeps asking the user to input size variables and path details to upload a file from their local machine.

Set Up A Linux Machine (Fedora 3) As A LAMP Server
I am trying to set up a Linux machine (Fedora 3) as a
LAMP server on a LAN with a Windows XP Prof machine. The boxes are connected
via a cheap switch.

I have added the site address to the Hosts file on both machines, flushed
all chains from iptables on the Linux machine and there appears to be no
firewall on XP.

From the XP machine I can telnet mysite.com 80 and get my html test page -
however when I use Internet Explorer it cannot find my page and responds
"The web page you requested is not available offline". The same thing
happens when I use another box with windows 2000. Pressing the connect
button just sends it off looking for - what I assume - is a DNS site

From the Linux machine I have used Tcpdump to monitor the traffic (at least
this is making me learn about Fedora) on the XP machine. I get plenty of
traffic when I use telnet but nothing when I use Internet explorer - I would
have expected something not that I understand what the messages mean
