I'm running php on my local machine (windows xp) and have created the following simple snippet of code:
<?php
$to = "jecs06@googlemail.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>
However, when I load the page, no email is sent.
Here is what is in my php.ini file . . . . .
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.googlemail.com
smpt_port = 465
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = pasts@hotmail.com
The problem is I can't get it to work and have tried to understand what is going on but due to my lack of knowledge I can't really fix it. Could someone point me in the right direction please.
Just to note, I am trying to use googlemail to send the email so was wondering if I needed passwords etc to send it?
Could anyone help me please.
Regards,
