It is not sending email. I don't want to use external library like PHPmailer, swiftmailer,hmailserver etc.
Has anyone sent email on windows with php mail? What should i do?
Edit: The following configuration works: (sendmail is put in C:)
php.ini =>
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587
sendmail_from = [email protected]
sendmail_path = "C:\sendmail\sendmail.exe"
sendmail.ini =>
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
smtp_ssl=auto
error_logfile=error.log
[email protected]
auth_password=[mypassword]
pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=
[email protected]
force_recipient=
hostname=
First of all make sure these two lines in php.ini are uncommented:
;SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
;smtp_port = 587 (or 465)
Then change smtp_ssl=auto to smtp_ssl=tls (as RiggsFolly said make sure extension=php_openssl.dll is enabled).
Furthermore if you are using Windows 8 have a look at this thread or install this proxy.
