Answer 1

You can use this library to send email ,if having issue with local xampp,wamp...

class.phpmailer.php,class.smtp.php Write this code in file where your email function calls

    include('class.phpmailer.php');

    $mail = new PHPMailer();  
    $mail->IsHTML(true);
    $mail->IsSMTP();
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
    $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    $mail->Port = 465;
    $mail->Username = "your email ID";
    $mail->Password = "your email password";
    $fromname = "From Name in Email";

$To = trim($email,"\r\n");
      $tContent   = '';

      $tContent .="<table width='550px' colspan='2' cellpadding='4'>
            <tr><td align='center'><img src='imgpath' width='100' height='100'></td></tr>
            <tr><td height='20'>&nbsp;</td></tr>
            <tr>
              <td>
                <table cellspacing='1' cellpadding='1' width='100%' height='100%'>
                <tr><td align='center'><h2>YOUR TEXT<h2></td></tr/>
                <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
                <tr><td align='center'>Name: ".trim(NAME,"\r\n")."</td></tr>
                <tr><td align='center'>ABCD TEXT: ".$abcd."</td></tr>
                <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>                
                </table>
              </td>
            </tr>
            </table>";
      $mail->From = "From email";
      $mail->FromName = $fromname;        
      $mail->Subject = "Your Details."; 
      $mail->Body = $tContent;
      $mail->AddAddress($To); 
      $mail->set('X-Priority', '1'); //Priority 1 = High, 3 = Normal, 5 = low
      $mail->Send();

Answer 2

I prefer using PHPMailer script to send emails from localhost as it lets me use my Gmail account as SMTP. You can find the PHPMailer from http://phpmailer.worxware.com/ . Help regarding how to use gmail as SMTP or any other SMTP can be found at http://www.mittalpatel.co.in/php_send_mail_from_localhost_using_gmail_smtp . Hope this helps!

Here's the steps to achieve this:

• Download the sendmail.zip through this link

  • Now, extract the folder and put it to C:/wamp/. Make sure that these four files are present: sendmail.exe, libeay32.dll, ssleay32.ddl and sendmail.ini.

  • Open sendmail.ini and set the configuration as follows:

  • 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

  • Access your email account. Click the Gear Tool > Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > IMAP access. Click "Enable IMAP", then save your changes.

  • Run your WAMP Server. Enable ssl_module under Apache Module.

  • Next, enable php_openssl and php_sockets under PHP.

  • Open php.ini and configure it as the codes below. Basically, you just have to set the sendmail_path.

[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 = [e-mail]
; 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"

• Restart Wamp Server

I hope this will work for you..

Answer 4

It seems impossible to include all parts in my post, instead, I'll point to instructions::

• using HMailServer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/16814318/2377343

• using various methods: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5773346/2377343

• using SendMail files: http://blog.techwheels.net/send-email-from-localhost-wamp-server-using-sendmail/

(should work on WAMP, XAMPP or anything...)

Answer 5

you can directly send mail from php mail() function if you specified the smtp server and smtp port in php.ini, first ask the SMTP server credential to your ISP.

SMTP = smtp.wlink.com.np //put your ISP's smtp server

smtp_port = 25 // your ISP's smtp port.

then just restart the apache server and it will start working. ENjoy ...

Answer 6

If any one of you are getting error like following after following answer given by Afwe Wef

 Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: SMTP server response:

 550 The address is not valid. in c:\wamp\www\email.php

Go to php.ini

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = [e-mail]

Enter [e-mail] as your email id which you used to configure the hMailserver in front of sendmail_from .

your problem will be solved.

Tested on Wamp server2.2(Apache 2.2.22, php 5.3.13) on windows 8

If you are also getting following error

"APPLICATION"   6364    "2014-03-24 13:13:33.979"   "SMTPDeliverer - Message 2: Relaying to host smtp.gmail.com."
"APPLICATION"   6364    "2014-03-24 13:13:34.415"   "SMTPDeliverer - Message 2: Message could not be delivered. Scheduling it for later delivery in 60 minutes."
"APPLICATION"   6364    "2014-03-24 13:13:34.430"   "SMTPDeliverer - Message 2: Message delivery thread completed."

You might have forgot to change the port from 25 to 465
