Send email from localhost running XAMMP in PHP using GMAIL mail server

问题

I try to send an email from localhost to my yahoo email account using php mail() function, the return says I successfully send the email but I did not get any email. I\'ve been reading and trying many so called \'simple way\' to send email but the result are disappointing, none of them work for me. Below are the code, the configurations and the error message. Can someone enlighten me with this? Thanks.

php code

<?php
$to      = \'myemail@yahoo.com\';
$subject = \'Fake sendmail test\';
$message = \'If we can read this, it means that our fake Sendmail setup works!\';
$headers = \'From: myemail@egmail.com\' . \"\\r\\n\" .
           \'Reply-To: myemail@gmail.com\' . \"\\r\\n\" .
           \'X-Mailer: PHP/\' . phpversion();

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
    echo \'Email sent successfully!\';
} else {
    die(\'Failure: Email was not sent!\');
}
?>

Configuration for php.ini (I\'m using gmail mail server)

SMTP =smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port =587
sendmail_from = myemail@gmail.com
sendmail_path = \"\\\"C:\\xampp\\sendmail\\sendmail.exe\\\" -t\"

Configuration for sendmail.ini

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
smtp_ssl=tls
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=myemail@gmail.com
auth_password=mypassword
force_sender=myemail@gmail.com

error message in sendmail error log with port 587

Here's the link that gives me the answer:

[Install] the "fake sendmail for windows". If you are not using XAMPP you can download it here: http://glob.com.au/sendmail/sendmail.zip

[Modify] the php.ini file to use it (commented out the other lines):

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
; smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; sendmail_from = <e-mail username>@gmail.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"

(ignore the "Unix only" bit, since we actually are using sendmail)

You then have to configure the "sendmail.ini" file in the directory where sendmail was installed:
[sendmail]

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=25
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=<username>
auth_password=<password>
force_sender=<e-mail username>@gmail.com

To access a Gmail account protected by 2-factor verification, you will need to create an application-specific password. (source)

in php.ini file,uncomment this one

sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
;sendmail_path="C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

and in sendmail.ini

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=465
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=your@gmail.com
auth_password=yourpassword
force_sender=your@gmail.com
hostname=localhost

configure this one..it will works...it working fine for me.

thanks.

[sendmail]

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com  
smtp_port=25  
error_logfile=error.log  
debug_logfile=debug.log  
auth_username=myemail@gmail.com 
auth_password=gmailpassword  
force_sender=myemail@gmail.com

need authenticate username and password of mail then only once can successfully send mail from localhost

Don't forget to generate a second password for your Gmail account. You will use this new password in your code. Read this:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

Under the section "How to generate an App password" click on "App passwords", then under "Select app" choose "Mail", select your device and click "Generate". Your second password will be printed on the screen.

Simplest way is to use PHPMailer and Gmail SMTP. The configuration would be like the below.

require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;

$mail->isSMTP();                            
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';            
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                     
$mail->Username = 'Email Address';          
$mail->Password = 'Email Account Password'; 
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';               
$mail->Port = 587;
