SMTP for PHP mail() function i Windows 7

[mehulnewton]

Hi Friends,
I’m new to PHP programming and currently using windows XP. We are asked to migrate to windows 7 and it doesn’t have default SMTP server to send emails and as a part of my project where I need to run the batch and take the report and email it to the concerned people. Due to this windows 7 the email part is now not working and is causing serious issues.

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

thanks
Mehul

I hope I am understanding you correctly. I’ve just switched over to PHP Mailer : https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/

It’s relatively simple to setup and you don’t have to worry to much about security, it beats trying to do it the hard way mail() in my opinion.
