no but in the php.ini there are settings for setting the mail function and all i wanna do is to use another mail service i want but then i have to specify to use username and password as well as the SMTP server... and as it is in the php.ini theres no setting for username and password, just mail adress, port and SMTP server....

A own mailserver is not needed...

wamp doesnt have a mail server.. so there is no settings i can tell you that will work.

get your own mail server. and ul know the details from that..

or use your ISP'S mail servr which you shud know the settings to already


YOU NEED A MAIL SERVER TO SEND MAIL ( OR AT LEAST ACCESS TO A MAIL SERVER)

phps mail() function will just send the request to a mail server

The original poster is correct, it is not needed to set up your own smtp server. All you need is a way to access your smtp server. If your smtp server does not require authorization, that's no problem. If your smtp server does require username and password, wamp will not work out-of-the-box.

This solution worked fine for me:
