problems with mail(), I need help!!!

Hi,
I have a form on the site I'm working on, the site now is running on localhost (I've got apache server),
but the problem is that the form is not sending email, I mean by this that the informations collected by the form shuould be sent to my email. I'm using on my PHP scripts the mail() function.

I think there is a problem with my php.ini

configration here is hot it looks for the moment:

Code:

mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
 
; For Win32 only.
//sendmail_from = fkastrati@gmail.com
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

Can anybody help me configure this thing so that I could receive email

????
Here is the message I get from browser when I click send:

Code:

 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:\xampplite\htdocs\ubt\common\mail.php on line 15

Thanxsssssss

Your php.ini file looks incorrect. Try this:

Code:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = fkastrati@gmail.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

Although are you sure you'll be able to relay through gmail's servers?
