smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587 (some recommend using smtp_port=25 but for me 587 worked)
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=myemail@gmail.com
auth_password=yourgmailpassword
force_sender=myemail@gmail.com

Next, make the following change in your php.ini (C:xamppphpphp.ini) file:

sendmail_path = “”C:xamppsendmailsendmail.exe” -t”
