Php To Connect To Hotmail To Send Email?

currently I am trying to use PHPmailer to send email out. Here are the codes below

Solution 1:

<?php//error_reporting(E_ALL);
error_reporting(E_STRICT);

date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');

require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$body             = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP$mail->SMTPDebug  = 2;                      // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)// 1 = errors and messages// 2 = messages only$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                   // enable SMTP authentication$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";                  // sets the prefix to the servier$mail->Host       = "smtp.live.com";        // sets hotmil as the SMTP server$mail->Port       = 587;                    // set the SMTP port for the hotmail server$mail->Username   = "useyourownemail@hotmail.com";      // hotmail username$mail->Password   = "useyourownpassword";           // hotmail password$mail->SetFrom('yourname@yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddReplyTo("name@yourdomain.com","First Last");
$mail->Subject    = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp (hotmail), basic";
$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$address = "anemail@domain.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");

$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif");      // attachment$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachmentif(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo"Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
  echo"Message sent!";
}

?>

Solution 2:

Talha answer is works for me. Try to comment $mail->IsSMTP(); and I also commented this part $mail->Port = 587;

Solution 3:

port 587 worked for me.

no need to run IsSMTP(). Comment it out as it will throw exceptions.

Dont forget to mark it as answer if it solves your problem :)
