sending email from gmail account on XAMPP/Sendmail

Question

I know this has been done to death on here, but most questions are old, and the responses aren't working this end, so I'm afraid it's a slight repeat.

All I'm trying to do is use XAMPP to send external email via a mail() function in php. When set up on a remote server this is all fine. Change to a local XAMPP server, and nadda.

I've tried several tutorials etc and nothing has worked. My current php.ini, sendmail.ini and my sendmail debug.log are below. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Port numbers seem to conflict in other answers, with 25, 465 and 587 listed. Could this be it?

Thanks in advance

php.ini here

[mail function]

; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = *********@gmail.com

; 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 =

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"

sendmail.ini here:

[sendmail]
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=*******@gmail.com
auth_password=********
force_sender=********@gmail.com

Answer 1

Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com
Gmail SMTP user name: Your full Gmail address (e.g. [email protected])
Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password
Gmail SMTP port: 465
Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes

Check with above information.

Answer 2

on your php.ini file,change the smtp from smtp.gmail.com to localhost

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

I think that should solve it
