Using mail() in PHP on Windows

Are you a PHP developer? Do you develop your solutions on Windows? Have you always looked for a solution to get mail() function working on Windows? Today while browsing the internet, I noticed a cool tool that listens to the standard SMTP port (25) and stores the email messages instead of sending them online. Isn’t it cool?

Just grab the MSI package from it’s CodePlex repo: http://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/. Install it. They provide a nifty UI for configuration option. Play with it.

When “smtp4dev” is up and running, check your PHP settings. If you’re using WAMP Server or any other pre-configured packages, it’s most likely that you already have port 25 configured for outbound emails (and for the mail function of course).

If everything is okay, go ahead and execute the mail() function in PHP. smtp4dev should popup a notification on email acceptance.

The tool is small in size, lightweight and actually it’s loads better than filling up my gmail inbox 🙂

Grameen Phone and Content Download Issues

If you’re using Grameen Phone, it’s likely that you have 3 internet settings – Internet, WAP and MMS. The WAP settings very often faces issues while downloading contents from the internet. Pathetically, this settings profile is used by most phones by default.

Today noon, I bought a Nokia X2-01 QWERTY set and when I tried to update the built in Nokia Ovi Store, I was having connection issues. Asking Google didn’t help at all. I then started exploring the configuration settings. I noticed that by default, the web app in Nokia uses GPWAP. So I created a new Web profile with gpinternet access point and it resolved the issues I was having.

If you’re having problems downloading contents with GP’s mobile internet, just tweak the settings and use “gpinternet” as the access point for everything 🙂
