Can't send email with php mail function on windows 8 -

i have installed wamp on windows 8.

got error:

warning: mail() [function.mail]: failed connect mailserver @ "localhost" port 25, verify "smtp" , "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in c:\wamp\www\mail.php on line 9

here simple source code:

<?php // message $message = "line 1\r\nline 2\r\nline 3";  // in case of our lines larger 70 characters, should use wordwrap() $message = wordwrap($message, 70, "\r\n");  // send mail('caffeinated@example.com', 'my subject', $message); ?> 

which software have install email through php on windows 8? sendmail, msmtp or ssmtp?

try

configure setups

in php.ini

smtp=smtp.gmail.com smtp_port=587 sendmail_from = my-gmail-id@gmail.com sendmail_path = "\"c:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t" 

in sendmail.ini:

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com smtp_port=587 error_logfile=error.log debug_logfile=debug.log auth_username=my-gmail-id@gmail.com auth_password=my-gmail-password force_sender=my-gmail-id@gmail.com 

important: comment following line if there sendmail_path in php.ini : sendmail_path="c:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

note: tested , works fine in windows 8.1
