PHP mail function is not working in windows

Question

My PHP code for sending mail is:

$email_to="deepuskmr@gmail.com";
$email_subject="It works";
$email_message="Hello. I can send mail!";
$headers = "From:Dpu\r\n".
"Reply-To: sdeepu.kmr@gmail.com\r\n'" .
"X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);  
echo "mail sent!"

But this code not sending email. It gives the error.

My php.ini file settings are

[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 = sdeepu.kmr@gmail.com

I am working in localhost . And I am using windows 64 machine.

Answer 1

You are using localhost as mail server, if you did not installed one (SMTP server), this will obviously returns you cannot connect.

You should have something like :

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 587

I use the free and awesome hMail on my dev box so that I can test my email functions and not just get mail() errors!
