Send email from localhost/WAMP/xampp Server

If you want to send mail from your localhost/PC then here is the solution

1. First of all you need to install WAMP/XAMPP server.
2. Download this send mail Download the sendmail.zip  which is only 1.08 MB file.
3.Unzip the file and keep all files in a folder name sendmail in in “C:\wamp\”. so it'll looks like in “C:\wamp\sendmail”.
[For xampp sendmail already exist]
4. Open the “sendmail.ini” file and configure it as following

• smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
• smtp_port=465
• smtp_ssl=ssl
• default_domain=localhost
• error_logfile=error.log
• debug_logfile=debug.log
• auth_username=[your_gmail_account_username]@gmail.com
• auth_password=[your_gmail_account_password]
• pop3_server=
• pop3_username=
• pop3_password=
• force_sender=
• force_recipient=
• hostname=localhost

Note  "You do not need to specify any value for these properties: pop3_server, pop3_username, pop3_password, force_sender, force_recipient. The error_logfile and debug_logfile settings should be kept blank if you have already sent successful email(s) otherwise size of this file will keep increasing. Enable these log file settings if you don’t get able to send email using sendmail."

5. Enable IMAP Access in your GMail’s Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP -> IMAP Access:

6. Enable “ssl_module” module in Apache server: for XAMPP click configure from xampp control and open php.ini file and uncomment php_openssl extensions .

 7. Enable “php_openssl” and “php_sockets” extensions for PHP compiler:

8 Open php.ini from “C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\bin” and configure it as following (The php.ini at “C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.x” would not work) (You just need to configure the last line in the following code, prefix semicolon (;) against other lines):

[For  XAMPP click configure from xampp control and open php.ini  ]

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
;SMTP = 
; http://php.net/smtp-port
;smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = you@domain.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t -i"

[ for XAMPP sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t" ]

9 . Restart WAMP Server.

10. Create a PHP file and write the following code in it: 

11. <?php
$to       = 'recipient@yahoo.com';

$email="sender@gmail.com"; // from email address

$subject  = 'Testing sendmail.exe';
$message  = 'Hi, you just received an email using sendmail!';
$headers  = 'From: sender@gmail.com' . "\r\n" .
            'Reply-To: sender@gmail.com' . "\r\n" .
            'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
            'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .
            'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
    echo "Email sent";
else
    echo "Email sending failed";
?>
