I have been trying to send a mail from my php file to my hotmail acount but the mail is not being sent. This is the code for mail.php:
I have XAMPP for Windows 5.6.15 x86
<?php
// multiple recipients
$to = 'myNail@hotmail.com';
// subject
$subject = 'Quick Poll';
// message
$message = 'HELLO';
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'From: me <myMail@gmail.com>' . "\r\n".
'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n".
'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8';
// Mail it
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo 'Sent mail';
}
else{
echo 'mail not sent';
}
?>
The mail is not sending and it is giving me 'mail not sent'
I have configured my sendmail.ini and php.ini these are my configurations
sendmail.ini
; configuration for fake sendmail
; if this file doesn't exist, sendmail.exe will look for the settings in
; the registry, under HKLM\Software\Sendmail
[sendmail]
; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory. (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
; application.
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
; smtp port (normally 25)
smtp_port=465
; SMTPS (SSL) support
; auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS
; ssl = alway use SSL
; tls = always use TLS
; none = never try to use SSL
smtp_ssl=ssl
; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided
; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify
default_domain=localhost
; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging
error_logfile=error.log
; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging
debug_logfile=debug.log
; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines
auth_username=myMail@gmail.com
auth_password=password
; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the
; following three lines. do not enable unless it is required.
pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=
; force the sender to always be the following email address
; this will only affect the "MAIL FROM" command, it won't modify
; the "From: " header of the message content
force_sender=myMail@gmail.com
; force the sender to always be the following email address
; this will only affect the "RCTP TO" command, it won't modify
; the "To: " header of the message content
force_recipient=
; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting. you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required
hostname=smtp.gmail.com
php.ini
[mail function]
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury
; SMTP = localhost
; smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost
; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (1): If XAMPP is installed in a base directory with spaces (e.g. c:\program filesC:\xampp) fakemail and mailtodisk do not work correctly.
; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (2): In this case please copy the sendmail or mailtodisk folder in your root folder (e.g. C:\sendmail) and use this for sendmail_path.
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder)
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the C:\xampp\mailoutput folder
; sendmail_path="C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"
; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =
; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
mail.add_x_header=Off
; Log all mail() calls including the full path of the script, line #, to address and headers
;mail.log = "C:\xampp\php\logs\php_mail.log"
