XAMPP Sendmail using Gmail account

by

This is what worked for me Hopefully no one else will burn oil to figure this out like i did.

Here is my sendmail.ini 

[sendmail]

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=25
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
[email protected]
auth_password=yourgmailpassword
[email protected]

php/php.ini —-basically comment everything out except sendmail_path & mail.add_x_header

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
;SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
;smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
mail.add_x_header = Off

; Log all mail() calls including the full path of the script, line #, to address and headers
;mail.log = "C:\xampp\apache\logs\php_mail.log"

This worked for me after i updated the sendmail files (the old ones dont support smtp)

  • go to http://glob.com.au/sendmail/ and grab the latest sendmail zip file
  • unzip to desktop and copy the files into your \xampp\sendmail folder replacing everything that was there.EVERYTHING!
  • Now open up sendmail.ini and copy paste what i showed above.(remove everything in that file first or just comment everything out!)
  • NOTE: you dont need Mercury servers started for this.

I was making a password recovery php on localhost when i encountered this problem. I needed to send users their password.
– your php looks okey
