ok i feel subconcious about making consecutive topics, but i really need help with this! Im stuck on the registration tutorial found on this site. I can get the user registration part to work fairly well, however when it comes to sending the verification email, it just wont work. im using a free account from byet host.com as the tutorial suggests. what could be going wrong?
What does "it just wont work" mean? Does it:
-give an error?
-give no error but not send the email?
-send the email but it's blank?
If it gives no error but you don't get an email, check your spam folder ;)
it dosnt send the email, it does register data into the mySQL database, but it dosnt send the verification email. ive confirmed this.
I sent you a reply, sorry for being so late.
A) Does your email get stored correctly
B) Does it give an error
C) Is it in your spam folder
Also, an alternative way to do the verification is by IP - but that gets annoying, especially if you lose an account. You could remove verification entirely but that's not exactly recommended either.
Aha! You could use the GMail SMTP

It might seem daunting, so if I can I'll try to get around to implementing it myself.
ill work on using this Gmal SMTP too then, work twice as fast
