PHP + Exchange Server 2

[csbdeady]

Hi

I have PHP 4.3.4 installed with Apache 2 web server on Windows 2000 Server.

I would like to be able to send emails through a PHP front-end to addresses internally within our company. The company uses Microsoft Exchange Server.

How do I connect PHP to MS Exchange Server, when MS E.Server is located on another computer elsewhere?

Many Ta's!

Through SMTP.

When running PHP on Win32, there are some settings in php.ini that you have to be aware of: SMTP and sendmail_from.

If you set SMTP to the IP address or fully-qualified domain name of that Exchange Server, then you can (if the Exchange box is configured to do so) send mail to any address through that SMTP setting.

To facilitate the sending of complex email messages (HTML with embedded images, etc), I recommend you use the PHPMailer class:
