PHP send email via GMAIL SMTP from localhost

At this time i want to share about how to send email using sendmail tools (in XAMPP) via GMAIL SMTP from localhost.

First we must download sendmail tools with ssl (GMAIL SMTP recommend to use ssl connection). We can donwload at glob.com.au/sendmail or in my backup here. Then extract the file to C:\\XAMPP\sendmail
Open sendmail.ini and edit code like this

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587

error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log

auth_username=xxx@gmail.com
auth_password=xxx

you can ignore other code in sendmail.ini,

Open php.ini, find word with key "[mail function]" then edit like this

[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\php\logs\php_mail.log"

save php.ini and restart your apache.

Now, test to send an email

<?php
 $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
 $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
 $headers  = 'From: administrator<sender@test.jp>' . "\r\n";
 $headers .= 'Reply To： no-reply@test.jp' . "\r\n";
 $message  = "仮登録いただき、ありがとうございます。";
 mail('receiver', '仮登録完了のお知らせ', $message, $headers); // using sendmail + ssl for send an email.
?>

that's all.
I hope it can help you for send email via GMAIL SMTP from localhost. :)
