Hello all,
I have set up a local server (Apache) on my computer to test out PHP and MySQL. I installed Apache, PHP, MySQL and phpmyadmin all individually following a lynda.com tutorial that was very helpful to follow.
The problem is that I can't get the mail() to work and email me things from a contact form or whatever that I have set up. My code is all correct so their is no problems there.
I have looked over a few forums on this subject but still haven't gotten anything to work. I have a gmail account that I want to have these practice emails sent to.
Does anyone know of a fix for this. Right now I'm just going under the assumption that the mail() will work when I actually get a site on the web, but it would be nice to see everything work while I'm testing it out.
Thanks for any advice in advance!!!
