I’m working on a php project where all emails are sent via the mail()

  • 0

I’m working on a php project where all emails are sent via the mail() function.
That’s quite a problem to prepare and test those emails because mail() function fails on the localhost and I should constantly rewrite my code to print out the email before sending, check it and asume that on server it would be sent ok.

Is there a way to somehow manage such situations?
I will be very happy if there is a way to save the messages on hard disk or send them only to the one specific email address, not to the real recipients, without or with slight modification of the code. Some useful software or advices are so appreciated.

Thanks!

P.S. On the localhost I’m using WAMP package as a webserver.

    Test mail server tool for Windows is awesome! Every time you send an email on local host, it just pops that email up in your favorite email reader (I.e. outlook, postbox etc)

    I use it exclusively to test all my web apps on WAMP!

    No server changes needed – just download and install – then send an email and see it in action.

    Oh – and it’s free!
