PHPMailer has always worked for me on development servers (localhost), as well as on live websites.

Download PHPMailer here, unzip it and put it in your application's directory.

When you want to send a mail, use the following code :

require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php'; //Your path to PHPMailer's directory
$Mail = new PHPMailer();
$Mail->IsSMTP(); // Use SMTP
$Mail->Host        = "smtp.gmail.com"; // Sets SMTP server for gmail
$Mail->SMTPDebug   = 0; // 2 to enable SMTP debug information
$Mail->SMTPAuth    = TRUE; // enable SMTP authentication
$Mail->SMTPSecure  = "tls"; //Secure conection
$Mail->Port        = 587; // set the SMTP port to gmail's port
$Mail->Username    = 'yourusername@gmail.com'; // gmail account username
$Mail->Password    = 'yourpassword'; // gmail account password
$Mail->Priority    = 1; // Highest priority - Email priority (1 = High, 3 = Normal, 5 =   low)
$Mail->CharSet     = 'UTF-8';
$Mail->Encoding    = '8bit';
$Mail->Subject     = 'Mail test';
$Mail->ContentType = 'text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n';
$Mail->From        = 'test2@gmail.com'; //Your email adress (Gmail overwrites it anyway)
$Mail->FromName    = 'Test';
$Mail->WordWrap    = 900; // RFC 2822 Compliant for Max 998 characters per line

$Mail->addAddress('test1@gmail.com'); // To: test1@gmail.com
$Mail->isHTML( TRUE );
$Mail->Body    = '<b>This is a test mail</b>';
$Mail->AltBody = 'This is a test mail';
$Mail->Send();
$Mail->SmtpClose();

if(!$Mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $Mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}

echo 'Message has been sent';

Update : You should update your PHP installation for this to work correctly. For the error you're getting, try this :

In your php.ini search for line

; extension=php_openssl.dll

and remove ; so it becomes:

extension=php_openssl.dll

Thanx for help me but when tried show me error "SCREAM: Error suppression ignored for" & " Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): this stream does not support SSL/crypto in C:\wamp\www\gmail\class.smtp.php on line 273" what is th solution ?? — jirjawi, May 08 '14 at 12:00

@user3157544, set SMTPDebug=2 and then update your answer with the result that you are getting. — Abhishek Goyal, May 08 '14 at 12:44

This works for me:

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == 'POST'){
    //print_r($_POST);
    if (mail('name@example.com', 'New Test Email', htmlspecialchars($_POST['msg']))){
        $cas = "thanks for the msg";
    }

 } 
?>

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head> <title>my test company</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Contactez nous</h3>
<form action="" method="post">
    <ul>
        <li>
            <label for="name">Name:</label>
            <input type="text" name="name" id="name">
        </li>
        <li>
            <label for="email">Email :</label>
            <input type="text" name="email" id="email">
        </li>
        <li>
            <label for="msg">Message:</label><br />
            <textarea name="msg" id="msg"></textarea>
        </li>
                
        <li>
            <input type="submit" value="Go!">
        </li>
    </ul>
</form>
<?php 
if (isset($cas)) echo $cas; 
?>
</body>
</html>
