I am maintaining the mail function signature perfectly. But, the error is still there. I guess I have messed up something with ini_set() but not getting it. I need the total php settings or example to send the mail from my php page through my gmail account.
Can you please help me?
Even if I copied the code from the referred link. Still it is not working an it is giving the following error:

Warning: mail() [function.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 C:\wamp\www\Test_2\TestMail.php on line 41

You would have to have a mail server setup locally for this to work. Try running this on a web server.
