Hi Adelke, nice tutorial, but I'm getting bool(true) but still I'm not receiving any email. I also changed in gmail "Allow less secure apps: ON"
I tried with smtp_port=587 and 465 for both of the files php.ini and sendmail.ini
What could I am doing wrong?

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in on line 9

thx . is this similar to PHPMailer ? can you use on a commercial app or is it for testing?

Thanks for the video. Sendmail works fine with PHP V5.6.n, but unfortunately doesn't work with PHP version 7+. I'm looking for something as simple to install as this 'sendmail' code, but I need it to work with PHP V7+. I've come across PHPMailer, but that appears to be pretty full-on to install and configure. Any guidance anyone?
