Send email using GMail SMTP server from PHP page

i followed this tutorial to config my php.ini on xampp to send emails from localhost to emails with domains like gmail, hotmail, etc.

However, when the code is executed (mail("myemail","Success","Thanks, that works");) i got the following error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 Authentication required

Any hint what i could be doing wrong?

As the error says, the SMTP server you are using requires a user and password before allowing you to queue a mail to be sent. Please check where are you setting up the parameters to use a given SMTP server – Alfabravo Jul 18 '12 at 20:47
That tutorial is not good. Try another one. Why don't you take this other one? – hakre Jul 18 '12 at 20:47
