"how to send emails using google smtp server using xampp?" Code Answer

most local boxes with windows don't come with a smtp server. you could use an external smtp server and configure it in your php.ini file, but smtp authentication is not possible.

i recommend you to use phpmailer, is a simple and flexible php class, that can use a smtp server with authentication. it is also more secure than using bundled php mail() function.
