How to configure XAMPP to send mail from localhost?<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can send mail from localhost with sendmail package , sendmail package is inbuild in XAMPP. So if you are using XAMPP then you can easily send mail from localhost.<\/p>\n

for example you can configure C:\\xampp\\php\\php.ini and c:\\xampp\\sendmail\\sendmail.ini for gmail to send mail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEPS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1<\/p>\n

in C:\\xampp\\php\\php.ini find extension=php_openssl.dll and remove the semicolon from the beginning of that line to make SSL working for gmail for localhost.
\n2<\/p>\n

in php.ini file find [mail function] and change<\/p>\n

SMTP=smtp.gmail.com
\nsmtp_port=587
\nsendmail_from = my-gmail-id@gmail.com
\nsendmail_path = “\\”C:\\xampp\\sendmail\\sendmail.exe\\” -t”
\n3<\/p>\n

Now Open C:\\xampp\\sendmail\\sendmail.ini. Replace all the existing code in sendmail.ini with following code<\/p>\n

[sendmail]<\/p>\n

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
\nsmtp_port=587
\nerror_logfile=error.log
\ndebug_logfile=debug.log
\nauth_username=my-gmail-id@gmail.com
\nauth_password=my-gmail-password
\nforce_sender=my-gmail-id@gmail.com
\n4<\/p>\n

ESPECIALLY For gmail please check https:\/\/support.google.com\/accounts\/answer\/6010255 to allow access from less secure apps<\/p>\n

SO AS GMAIL TO WORK IN THIS CASE… OTHER THAN GMAIL MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE [SIMILAR] SECURITY NEEDED SETUP.
\n5
\nNow you have done!! create php file with mail function and send mail from localhost.<\/p>\n

PS: don’t forgot to replace my-gmail-id and my-gmail-password in above code. Also, don’t forget to remove duplicate keys if you copied settings from above.
\n6<\/p>\n

For example comment following line if there is another sendmail_path : sendmail_path=”C:\\xampp\\mailtodisk\\mailtodisk.exe” in the php.ini file<\/p>\n

7
\nAlso remember to restart the server using the XAMPP control panel so the changes take effect.<\/p>\n

I can provide sample working\u00a0XAMPP php.ini & sendmail.ini – download and compare if you have problems sending email….with XAMPP\u00a0using gmail… cost 5$ [PayPal] send email to\u00a0mymac@poliscarhire.com and lsepolis123@gmail.com …<\/p>\n
