Sending PHP mail

Question

I would like to send this email.

I have seen configuration but not sure what to do or make any heads or tails out of them. The mail would be sent from my PC right now.

Error I get is - Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\\wamp\\www\\send.php on line 165.

Looked on these two sites from google search but don't acutally understand it. Can some help me please.

Answer 1

You're trying to send mail from your localhost (Your PC) It's not setup to send mail. Move the script to a production server and it will work

Answer 2

You don't have a mail server installed. You have a few options:

1. Install a mail server such as Postfix or sendmail
2. Connect to an existing SMTP server, for example through Gmail. (See: Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page )
