May I know how to send an email from localhost to gmail or other email accounts? I already make research regarding this matter and tried to do it but still can not send the email. Below are my sendmail.ini and php.ini files that I edit,
sendmail.ini
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=465
smtp_ssl=ssl
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=khairulamran.nazri#gmail.com
auth_password=[email password]
pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=
force_sender=khairulamran.nazri#gmail.com
force_recipient=
hostname=smtp.gmail.com
php.ini - mail function
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 465
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
mail.add_x_header=Off
contact.php - to send the email
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){
$name=$_POST['name'];
$to=$_POST['email'];
$hp=$_POST['hp'];
$subject="Test";
$msg="Thank you for Register. Your Name is ".$name." and Hp no. is ".$hp;
$header="khairulamran.nazri#gmail.com";
$success=mail($to,$subject,$msg,$header);
if($success==true){
echo "Email send successfully ";
} else{
echo "Error sending email";
}
}
?>
<form name="contact" method="post" action="">
Nama:<input type="text" name="name"><p>
Email:<input type="text" name="email"><p>
Hp:<input type="text" name="hp">
<input type="submit" name="submitted" value="Submit">
</form>
If click Submit, it will not send the email that have been submitted.

Answer 1

Try to use mailer library. I had used and it will work perfectly.
Follow this. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
You would need to only enter your gmail credentials and after that it will work.

Answer 2

This is the solution for my case. Hope it will be useful if someone need information regarding this case as well.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){
$name=$_POST['name'];
$to=$_POST['email'];
$hp=$_POST['hp'];
require '../PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'myemail#gmail.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'mypassword'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('khairulamran.nazri#gmail.com', 'Amran');
$mail->addAddress($to); // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('khairulamran.nazri#gmail.com', 'Information');
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Test Email';
$mail->Body = 'Body of message goes here';
$mail->AltBody = 'Body of message goes here<for non html mail client>';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
}
?>
<form name="contact" method="post" action="">
Nama:<input type="text" name="name"><p>
Email:<input type="text" name="email"><p>
Hp:<input type="text" name="hp">
<input type="submit" name="submitted" value="Submit">
</form>
