问题
While I working on a PHP script, sometimes it need to send emails. To see the progress I have to upload the full project online. Is there any way to setting up a mail server in my local machine? I'm using windows 8.
回答1:
Use a STMP Mail class and you can send it for example via Google Mail. No need to upload it on your server then.
回答2:
PHPMailer is a full featured email transfer Class for PHP supporting SMTP and POP3. So you not need to setup mail server on your pc. It works on localhost too.
