Check out this thread on php.net http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php#76014

 

I'm no php expert, but I think part of the problem is that gmail smtp doesn't work the same as others. Not to mention, your going to have to authenticate prior to sending mail which the default main() function doesn't have.

I think the problem is in the php.ini anyones gotten wamp to work with mail?

 

thanks

You cannot use gmail as an SMTP Server as mail() does not support authentication. GMail requires authentication in order for email to be sent from their servers.

 

mail works fine. It's just you got to use a non-secured SMTP server in order for mail to work.

i have finally got it working with swiftmailer!

it works for wamp..

works for gmail too..

its an offshoot of phpmailer...but its better i guess...and i dont think phpmailer allowse TSL or SSL like swiftmailer, which is reqd for gmail..

needless to say abt the other zillion good features of swiftmailer!

Hi

 

I have a problem with php doesn't support ssl and tls.

 

I have seen many posts telling me to uncommented the extension=php_openssl. When I used the command php -m, it did show me the openssl. But when using phpinfo(), it only list udp and tcp.

 

Do you know how to set it up? Please help.
