Succeed With CONFIGURE XAMPP TO SEND MAIL THROUGH LOCALHOST 2019 In 5 MINUTES?
As we all know that sending mail in xampp through localhost can be much more painful if we don't know to configure xampp to send mail through localhost.
Then I thought it will be helpful to all if I can provide them with an easy solution. After spending my quality time on research finally, I came up with a solution which I am disclosing here.
Xampp is the local best server for PHP, Perl, and MySQL.XAMPP helps to create and develop your own applications using Web services technologies. Many people know from their own experience that it. Easy to use control panel. Let's come to the point of xampp setup to send mail through localhost.
Here are the steps :
Set SMTP host and port in php.ini. Set sendmail_path = "{path to xampp}\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t" in php.ini In sendmail.ini under sendmail folder in xampp, set smtp_server to what you have set in php.ini smtp_port smtp_ssl auth_username auth_password force_sender hostname Simply call the mail function with all the arguments properly passed
Step 1 :
Let's write the PHP code in our editor can be Notepad++, PhpStrom, Sublime Text
The PHP code is shown in below:
Step 2:
we can send mail from localhost with sendmail package, Sendmail package is in build in XAMPP.
So if you are using XAMPP then you can easily send mail from localhost.
for example, you can configure C:\xampp\php\php.ini and c:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini for Gmail to send mail.
In C:\xampp\php\php.ini find extension=php_openssl.dll and remove the semicolon from the beginning of that line to make SSL working for Gmail for localhost.
Step 3:
in php.ini file find [mail function] and change
SMTP= smtp.gmail.com smtp_port=587 sendmail_from = [email protected] sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
Now Open C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini. Replace all the existing code in sendmail.ini with following code
Step 4:
[sendmail]
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com smtp_port=587 error_logfile=error.log debug_logfile=debug.log [email protected] auth_password=my-gmail-password [email protected] Now you have done!! create php file with mail function and send mail from localhost.
Note: don't forget to replace my-Gmail-id and my-Gmail-password in above code.
Also, don't forget to remove duplicate keys if you copied settings from above.
For example comment following line if there is another sendmail_path: sendmail_path="C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe" in the php.ini file
Remember not to forget to restart xampp control panel so the changes take effect.

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
-
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
-
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
-
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
-
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
-
$mail->Username = "[email protected]"; // GMAIL username
-
$mail->Password = "your-gmail-password"; // GMAIL password
-
} -
-
//Typical mail data -
$mail->AddAddress($email, $name);
-
$mail->SetFrom($email_from, $name_from);
-
$mail->Subject = "My Subject";
-
$mail->Body = "Mail contents";
-
try{
-
$mail->Send();
-
echo "Success!";
-
} catch(Exception $e){
-
//Something went bad -
echo "Fail :(";
-
} -
