Yes you should configure your SMTP settings on the php.ini file. Please do a search in this forum with "php.ini smtp" or google for it. If failed to find out any answer, we are here to help.

You can send emails from your localhost. if you know exactly about the mail settings, check the spam inbox of your mail application. may be your email has marked as spam.

SMTP = yoursmtpserver.com
smtp_port = 25

In a production server environment php mail function will work for sure. so you can go ahead and check your script on hosting server.


and in your local machine, you have to use a real SMTP server, a better way of finding this is, if you have any mail client (outlook, thunderbird) installed in your local pc, make sure to use the same smtp server in your php.ini too.

Can we have a look on your settings. ?
