Question

I want to use wamp as my development server and I’m trying to send email via my email => gmail, hotmail, yahoo. I’m trying to implement a simple email php application.

Is it possible to do it in wamp?

Is it possible to do it without changing php.ini and instead use ini_set();

I have tried changing my php.ini

using my yahoo mail
SMTP = smtp.mail.yahoo.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 587
auth_user = [e-mail]    
auth_pass = password 

and got this error message “Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 authentication required – for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html in C:\wamp\www\9dot_disc_alt\abc.php on line 12″

using gmail
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 587
auth_user = [e-mail]    
auth_pass = password 

SMTP server response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. pc6sm6631754pbc.47 in C:\wamp\www\9dot_disc_alt\abc.php on line 12

Here’s my current code:

$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "[e-mail]";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";

Sir/Ma’am your answers would be of great help and be very much appreciated. Thank you++
