Mates,

I need further clarification, plz...

if you do a simple search, you would see that I posted too many times about this

anyway, wamp does NOT come w/ mail so you can NOT send mail and if you really want it, you should join some other forums that focus on mail to get help

it's your own pc and your own life so you can do anything you like and nobody can stop you to do so but keep in mind that if you do NOT set it up properly and security, spammers would secretly use your pc/wampserver without your consent to send out some thousands, if not millions, spam mails a day and since these mails sent out from your pc/wamp, you take all responsibilities for their actions and would face severe punishment/fines and/or even serving jail time depending on laws in your area/country, so make sure you know what you're doing since a second, not even a minute, you send out a mail from your pc/wamp, spammers will auto detect your pc/wamp immediately; dont be like one of my best friends who was in FBI's custody couple years ago and all his 4 pc/lappies were seized for investigation if he's a spammer; after investigated, they couldn't charge him for spam but some illegal stuff that found in his pc/laptops

Have fun,

Installing and Configuring a WAMP Server in Windows 7 & 8

If your intention is to just serve local testing of your PHP code, is it not possible to configure a mail server to only send emails to a local account i.e. configure a local port which is closed off to the internet connection (via your router)? But then, this is not the right Forum for such an issue.

cantthinkofanickname is right if you just want to test local mail you can look for fake php send mail and configure your script

If it's for testing, what I do is one of two things, when $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]=="localhost", either 1) display to the screen, or 2) append to a file

So I have an intermediary function that handles mail, kind of like this (this code is not perfect, but you should get the idea):
function fc_mail($to,$subject,$text,$from){
$headers=fc_headers($from);
if($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]=="localhost"{
echo "\n<hr>Since you're on localhost, here's the email you're trying to send:"
."\n<br>To: {$to}\n<br>Subject: {$subject}\n<br>Text: {$text}\n<hr>"
."\nHeaders: {$headers}\n<hr>";
}else{
mail($to,$subject,$text,$headers);
}
}

Hope this helps,

Asside: does anyone know how to get indents to show up in forum messages?
And how about preventing those silly little smily characters?

what about PEAR package, does it help on that?

Yes Pear can help
