Thanks a lot. It worked perfectly. I had to change the SMTP address in php.ini file of “apache/bin” and “php” folders of XAMPP. Finally i could send a mail from my localhost.

I was following this guide, and after step four I got the warning message you said I might get, so I just went on with step five. The result was this:
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in C:\AppServ\www\test.php on line 86″

Line 86 contains this: $headers = ‘MIME-Version: 1.0? . “\r\n”;

I don’t know what to do, because removing the “:” only get’s me this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in C:\AppServ\www\test.php on line 86
Please help.

I tried to follow this as closely as possible, and it worked out pretty well. After step 4 I got the warning you mentioned, so I put in the headers and now I’m getting this message:

“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in C:\AppServ\www\test.php on line 86″

Line 86 being:
“$headers = ‘MIME-Version\: 1.0? . “\r\n”;”

I’m not very good at this, but I’d really appreciate any suggestion about what I might be doing wrong.

Hi, Dear Roshan.
I use WAMP server in my local machine. I set the php.ini file as you have given in this tutorial and also tried from other sites. But I am not able to send mail from my local machine to other mail id.

Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
