You aren't running your own mail server and aren't configured to use anyone else's. So where would the mail go? Talk to the system administrator or hosting provider.

the error message mean you need to install SMTP server to let the mail function work normally .
since you using xampp you may configure Mercury Server which comes with XAMPP ..
once you install it and configure it the mail function will work normally ..

不用担心...在我们的本地服务器中，许多服务器不是基于SMTP（简单邮件传输协议）运行的，因此我们不发送邮件，但是某些服务器可以在该服务器上运行，如果您将其配置为SMTP协议端口，则可以也寄给他们

Use following code to send an email
ini_set("SMTP","aspmx.l.google.com");
$to = "yourmailid@gmail.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "toemail@gmail.com";
$headers = 'From: '.$from. "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$from. "\r\n" .
'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) echo "Mail Sent.";
