PHP - send mail with xampp local host not working

Question

I'm trying to make a basic reservation system. When the reservation is made via the .html document, it should send a mail to my email address. But this is not the case.

I searched for mailing with Xampp via localhost and found a bunch of posts of changing the php.ini and sendmail.ini files, changing the smtp settings to gmail.

But I'm not able to make it work. I'm I doing something wrong or overlooking/forgetting something? Is there another way to test out my code if it works then trying it out with Xampp?

If needed I can post my php.ini and sendmail.ini files.

PHP code

<?php

    $message = "";

    //email adres
    $email = "tom.deboeck23@gmail.com";

    $required = array('dag', 'maand', 'jaar', 'uur', 'minuten', 'naam','email', 'telefoon', 'aantal', 'bericht', 'type');

    if (isset($_POST['reserveren']))
    {
        $data = $_POST['reservatie'];

        $headers = "";

        $message .= "Dag Lode en Eva, via de website kregen jullie een nieuwe reservatie, gelieve de persoon zo snel mogelijk een bevestigingsmail te sturen!";
        $message .= "\n\n";
        $message .= $data['bericht'];
        $message .= "\n\n";

        $message .= "Telefoon: " . $data['telefoon'];
        $message .= "\n\n";
        $message .= "Lunch/Diner: " . $data['type'];
        $message .= "\n\n"; 
        $message .= "Aantal personen: " . $data['aantal'];
        $message .= "\n\n";
        $message .= "Email: " . $data['email'];
        $message .= "\n\n";

        $message .= "Datum: " . $data['dag'];
        $message .= "\n\n";
        $message .= "Maand: " . $data['maand'];
        $message .= " " . $data['jaar'];
        $message .= "\n\n";
        $message .= " Tijdstip: " . $data['uur'] . " " . $data['minuten'];

        $subject = 'Nieuwe reservatie via de website';
        $headers = 'From: '. $data['email']. "\r\n" .'Reply-To: '. $data['email']. "\r\n" .'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

        if (mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers))
        {
           echo "mail verstuurd!";
        }           
    }    
?>

Have you turned on error reporting? If not, place this at the top of your php file: `error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set("display_errors", 1);` — Epodax, Sep 17 '15 at 06:47
That code is irrelevant. This isn't a programming question, but about ›server‹ configuration (thus off-topic). — mario, Sep 17 '15 at 06:57
D:\Apps\Xampp\mailoutput <= this is actually a step in the right direction. Here I can see the mails that are being sent atleast as a textfile. Would just like it if it would work in a real environment. — user3360972, Sep 17 '15 at 07:01
@mario - instead of making a comment that doesn't help, make one then that will point me in the right direction.. — user3360972, Sep 17 '15 at 07:06
Your question would require a lengthy list of "try this", "try that", "have you?", "what's the?", and "oh, please show" comments. And while revealing a few relevant details (compare the dupe) would perhaps make this answerable, it still wouldn't be useful to other users. You're expecting a bit too much support there. (See the reference on using PHPMailer however.) — mario, Sep 17 '15 at 07:14
