Hello,
I've been trying to test my first contact form in a web site I'm learning to put together and I am at the testing phase for the contact form using WAMP (3.2.0) PHP Version 7.3.12. I configured the php.ini file with the SMTP info my web host gave me, but I get connection errors using either port 25 and 26. Port 25 gave me "failed to connect to web server" and port 26 was more cryptic with "SMTP server response: 550 Access denied - Invalid HELO name (See RFC2821 4.1.1.1)". So at this point WampServer is kind of useless to me and I figure I might as well just uninstall it and just connect to my host cPanel and just do my testing directly there... I'm trying to find some answers with search engines, but most of the links that come up don't apply or are way above my head in comprehention. I've seen several tutorial videos on php/html contact forms and what to do to configure the PHP to be able to send mail and they all seemed so easy. "Use php Mail!" they said! "It'll be fun!" they said... :-/
Any feedback would be welcomed! I'll work on some other parts of the web site in the mean time. Thank you!
