title: How to send myself an email with php, Windows 7, WAMP server? need SIMPLE solution
body: <p>I have spent the last 15 hours trying to figure out a simple, free way to send a simple text email via a php script when a form is filled out on a html page. I don't care how it looks, as these emails are only going to be sent to me (at most 15 a day). I don't need anything except a simple email to me when the form is filled out. I understand everything except I cannot get past:</p>
  
  <p>Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini</p>
  
  <p>What i have tried:
  Playing around with the pear mail extension and using smtp.gmail.com
  Downloading countless smtp mail server applications.
  Using my ISP smtp and port 25: smtp-server.wi.rr.com.
  Using PHPMailer.
  Using the windows SMTP server.</p>
  
  <p>Although all of these things should work... I am apparently too dumb to figure it out. I have read every sentence on the subject on the internet and have tried to follow instructions, but each time I try something else, I just run into more problems. Someone PLEASE give me a simple fix to this, so I can never look at PHP mail stuff again.</p>
