WampServer

Hello all,

I'm using WAMP server 3.0.6 (64bit). I was trying to send email from my php code but it's not working. I don't get any error message but the code is not sending any email.

I have done the following steps:

1- I have downloaded Sendmail.zip extracted it and put it in the root folder of WAMP.
2- Editing sendmail/sendmail.ini file
"
[sendmail]

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com

smtp_port=465

smtp_ssl=ssl

;default_domain=localhost

error_logfile=error.log

;debug_logfile=debug.log

auth_username=myemail@gmail.com
auth_password= mypass

pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=

force_sender= myemail@gmail.com

force_recipient=

hostname=localhost"

3- Edit php.ini in the php directory:
([mail function]

; For Win32 only.
; [php.net]
SMTP =
; [php.net]
smtp_port =

; For Win32 only.
; [php.net]
sendmail_from = myemail@gmail.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i" ).
; [php.net]
sendmail_path = "C:\wamp64\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t -i" )

4- I also found out that i have to edit php.ini in the Apache folder, but i don't have this file there. There is only a php.ini but as a (.symlink) it's like a shortcut and i can't open it or edit it.

after this i created a test code in php to send email:

$to = "otheremail@test.com";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: myemail@gmail.com";

if(mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers))
print "success";

But I didn't get a result.
Can you please help me?

To edit php.ini use the menus

wampmanager->php->php.ini

I did like this, but a lot of other sorces made me confused that i have to edit other php.ini file in the apache folder. Anyway my code is not working till now and i have no idea why

If you use the menu as suggested, that will edit the Correct `php.ini` file that is used by PHP when running under Apache.

The \wamp\bin\php\php{version}\php.ini file is only used by the PHP CLI and not PHP when running with Apache.

I already did. I edited the php.ini file that you can reach with the menues. but the code is not sending email!

Then there is not much we can do. We dont support SendMail, and I dont use it. Sorry.
