WampServer

I tried using the mail function on the wampserver and my php.ini kept throwing this error. Obviously I gotta somehow authenticate the SMTP server. How do I do that?

Hi

The mail() function in PHP just passes an email to an email server for it do do the actual delivery. Windows does not have a mail server by default so it does not work, unless you install one.

The simplest way to mail is to us phpMailer which is a PHP library that you put into your site code.
