XAMPP lite 1.7.7 cannot send email
Posted: 22. June 2012 10:47Ive seemed to follow some of the solutions here for this problem but still have no luck;
by PHP ini file is now;
and my sendmail ini file is this;
As you can see I'm using GMAIL for forwarding my mail, I have nothing else installed no Mercury, no other email client. Now what am i missing? My small php script is letting me know that the php script functioned correctly but I'm getting no emails in my destination email accounts inbox. Can anybody help?
{edit] I'm using Windows XP Service pack 2..... if that helps anyone
by PHP ini file is now;
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path = "\"\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
and my sendmail ini file is this;
; configuration for fake sendmail
; if this file doesn't exist, sendmail.exe will look for the settings in
; the registry, under HKLM\Software\Sendmail
[sendmail]
; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory. (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
; application.
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
; smtp port (normally 25)
smtp_port=25
; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided
; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify
;default_domain=local
; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging
error_logfile=error.log
; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging
debug_logfile=debug.log
; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines
auth_username=********@gmail.com
auth_password=************
; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the
; following three lines
;pop3_server=
;pop3_username=
;pop3_password=
; to force the sender to always be the following email address, uncomment and
; populate with a valid email address. this will only affect the "MAIL FROM"
; command, it won't modify the "From: " header of the message content
;force_sender=*****@smtp.gmail.com
; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting. you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required
;hostname=localhost
