  7. Code dosen’t work,please help me i need it..please help me it showing the following error after submit..
    Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ‘Asia/Kolkata’ for ‘5.5/no DST’ instead in C:\wamp\www\sendemail.php on line 18

    Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at “localhost” port 25, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\sendemail.php on line 61
    Your enquiry has been sent successfully!
