使用php脚本将邮件发送到gmail

Question

1.using XAMPP and localhost i am trying to send mail to gmil from a php script.
2.after trying all the changes to the files php.ini and sendmail.ini as seen in posts and other resources i can't receive mail from my following php line of code:

    <?php
    mail('satanower1@gmail.com','hello this is a test','From: satanower1@gmail.com');
    echo 'mail has been sent successfully.';
    ?>

i get back the echo statement but with no email at my inbox.
changes i tried to the sendmail.ini
file:smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com from the xampp defoult smtp_port=465 (i tried other ports too as 25 etc..)

changes i tried to the php.ini file: SMTP = smtp.gmail.com and smtp_port = 465

any help available?

You will need to enable SMTP access in GMAIL, also you need to allow unsecure clients:

sendmail config

[sendmail]
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=465
smtp_ssl=auto
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username==*****@gmail.com
auth_password=*********
force_sender=*****@gmail.com

php config

[mail function]
SMTP=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=465
sendmail_from = *****@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "\"c:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
