[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi Friends. I am facing a problem with sending emails from my localhost(Xampp) server. I have researched on google and find out sum ways which asked me to change php.ini file. But still the result is same. I urgently need to get this module done. Need your help guys. Need a detailed code please.Which can be understood as well. Thanks in advance.

localhost (xampp/wamp) etc. doesn't include an email server. Therefore you can't send emails via local application unless you run your own smtp server and set CI to use it. Another solution is to run an app like SMPT4DEV which can act as a dummy server and show you emails as if they are sent (but not actually send anything).

Seems a bit overkill to locally test email http://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/

If you are running Windows you can use what I use here.

Test Mail Server Tool

XAMPP comes with Mercury Mail. You can configure and run that

Actually, the easiest way is to use Fake Sendmail. If you're running Apache on a Windows machine (wamp, etc..) then this is the best way to go since you can still use /usr/lib/sendmail -t

You don't need to configure a mail server!
