Localhost, PHP and email

[Dariusz]

I am running Apache and PHP on "localhost" (ie. offline), is there a way to
setup PHP to run scripts which may use the mail facility of PHP so that if
a script is supposed to send an email - it sends an email rather than choak
(so you don't know for sure the script actually works until you upload and
test online)?

hi dariusz

you should install a mailserver on your local machine.

if you're using windows, you could try the argosoft (freeware) mailserver:

http://www.argosoft.com/applications/mailserver/download.asp

it's simple and does the job.

good luck
