Using PHP mail function on XAMPP

I know this question has been asked many times, but after going through everything, I still can't send emails from localhost. I tried to tweak my php.ini and sendmail.ini files, but it still doesn't work. I tried using smtp server ports 587 and 465 but none works.

I have added a screenshot of my .ini files. Please, help!

php.ini

sendmail.ini

sendmail.ini continued

here is my php code:

   <?php 
    $from="From: jain.ayusch10@gmail.com";
    if(mail("gaganjain901@gmail.com", "Test Mail","THIS IS A TEST MAIL",$from)){
        echo "success";
    }else{
        echo "faliure";
    }

   ?>

You should try PHPMailer

PHPMailer - Full featured email creation and migration class for PHP

Setting php.ini is not enough. You will need to install Mail Transport Agent

. For small projects, it is better to use an existing mail server SMTP

most of the time, as you need a lot of configuration to set up and configure the mail server, especially if you want to send HTML emails.

I recommend using PHPMailer or Swiftmailer for this purpose.



Also, if you have a hosting package, your ISP will most likely have a mail server installed and the mail function will work there. You just need to rethink your testing process.
