Secure Mail form

I'm after a php script that:

- Has a form that i can put into a .html page that calls the script,
- Is able to tell a smpt server that it is USER: xxxx with a PASS: xxxx

I have set up my mail server to not allow relaying, so when i use other mailing scripts, my SMTP server gets it but won't forward it on because no user/mail from was specified.

Can anyone help me out? Or is this relating to a setting in my php.ini file? i think i can remember one being in there relating to this...

This is the script i have at the moment:

<?php
 
// Contact subject
$subject ="$subject"; 
// Details
$message="$detail"; 
 
// Mail of sender
$mail_from="$customer_mail"; 
// From 
$header="from: $name <$mail_from>"; 
 
// Enter your email address
$to ='Brad@forum-indoor.info'; 
 
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header, "From: Brad@forum-indoor.info");
 
// Check, if message sent to your email 
// display message "Thanks for the message!"
if($send_contact){
header("Location: contact_success.html");
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>

Any Idea's?

Hey KamakaZ,

I'm no PHP expert but have been looking at this

http://www.swiftmailer.org/

for site security. Seems to offer a number of features whilst stopping/limiting header attacks through the standard PHP mail function which I was going to use....

Generally, the PHP mail() function will use sendmail, as designated by php.ini. It is in the sendmail configuration that you need to specify your login credentials for the remote SMTP server. Check this page out for some information on how to do that: http://dbaron.org/linux/sendmail This is redhat specific, but it should be adaptable for any LAMP server.

I can't do that, i'm running xampp on a windows box. I have changed the credentials in the php.ini as suggested by xampp, by the mail still doesn't even reach the server, no messages or logs come up on it, yet if i send mail from a wordpress blog, it sends fine.

Hi KamakaZ, i am not a PHP developer but i can suggest you to find your problem from www.php.net website. it's totally for PHP programmers...
