4+ Steps to Send Mail From Localhost in PHP Using XAMPP
Here are list of all the steps which I explained below completely.
- Create an APP password to setup Gmail SMTP.
- Modify [mail function] on the PHP config file
(php.ini). - Modify [mail function] on the SendMail config file
(sendmail.ini). - Restart Apache server.
- Try the example source code.
Create an APP password to setup Gmail SMTP
To access Gmail account which is protected by 2Step Authentication we have to create APP password which helps to send mail using our Gmail account as SMTP account.
- Go to https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
- Select Mail and the Other like below image,
Then you get the password like “woaablyvvycyznenv” this. Keep it safe for further.

- Go to this location:
C:\XAMPP\php\php.ini - Open php.ini file on any text editor and search
[mail function]
Changes on [mail function] on php.ini file
Remove semicolon (;) first on below lines, and put the given changes,
SMTP=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=465
sendmail_from = yourGmailID@gmail.com
sendmail_path = “\”C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\” -t”
Modify [mail function] on the SendMail config file (sendmail.ini)
- Now next is the Open Sendmail configuration file named sendmail.ini.
