Mail Function Setup

How will one on Linux get the mail function to work to be able to create email files (EML) on their computer by using the PHP mail() function? When I was on Windows I used XAMPP and the Test Mail Server Tool.

I finally figured it out after a month! This is how it is done

1. Create a folder in your Documents named XAMPP Emails
2. Open the terminal and enter the following command

Code: Select all
sudo chmod 777 "/home/USERNAME/Documents/XAMPP Emails/"


3. Open the php.ini file that is located in your /opt/lampp/etc directory
4. Press CTRL+F and then type "mail function"
5. Under the [mail function] remove comment from sendmail_path
6. Set sendmail_path to
Code: Select all
sendmail_path = "cat > /home/USERNAME/Documents/XAMPP\ Emails/`date '+%Y-%m-%d - %H-%M-%S'`.eml"
BUT MAKE SURE TO REPLACE USERNAME with your own username
7. If Apache is running, restart it
