Sending Email's using tomcat server through a PHP aplication

I have deployed a PHP application on my tomcat server(Tomcat 6.0).Previously I was using XAMPP,but this needs specifically to be run on tomcat.I used this java bridge for that.Now I am not able to send mail through this,from localhost using gmail SMTP.

In XAMPP I used the sendmail.exe client for sending mails through LOCALHOST,but i don't know how to do it using tomcat.Tried to search but found hardly anything!!Badly stuck!Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

Solution

  • If you are trying to send email from within your PHP application, then you want to us the built-in mail function ( https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php). You can configure how mail behaves with various options documented on http://www.php.net/.

    From PHP, you aren't going to be able to use any services provided by Tomcat for SMTP.
