How to configure php.ini to use gmail as mail server

Question

I want to learn yii as my first framework. And I\'m trying to make the contact form work. But I got this error:

Answer 1

If you open the php.ini file in WAMP, you will find these two lines:

smtp_server
smtp_port

Add the server and port number for your host (you may need to contact them for details)

The following two lines don't exist by default:

auth_username
auth_password

So you will need to add them to be able to send mail from a server that requires authentication. So an example may be:

smtp_server = mail.example.com
smtp_port = 25
auth_username = example_username@example.com
auth_password = example_password

ps: you should not use your personal mail here. for an obvious reason.
