title: Email Sending issue in PHP
body: <p>I am trying to send an Email through php and before I present the problem, the things I did are---</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I have Xampp and I have Mercury Turned on, I have made 2 local users.</li>
  <li>I have Thunderbird to receive the email and I have it all set up. That is I can send email from one local user to another without any problem.</li>
  <li>Now my email php code is simple</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><code>
  
  <pre><code>mail('revan@localhost','Hello!','Hello, This is a test!','FROM:sunny@localhost') or die("Email sending failed");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>?></code></p>
  
  <p>4)Now in my php.ini  the mail function looks like---</p>
  
  <pre><code>; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury
  SMTP =localhost
  smtp_port = 25
  
  ; For Win32 only.
  ; http://php.net/sendmail-from
  ;sendmail_from = sunny@localhost
  
  ; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (1): If XAMPP is installed in a base directory with spaces (e.g. c:\program filesC:\xampp) fakemail and mailtodisk do not work correctly.
  ; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (2): In this case please copy the sendmail or mailtodisk folder in your root folder (e.g. C:\sendmail) and use this for sendmail_path.  
  
  ; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder)
  ;sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
  
  ; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the C:\xampp\mailoutput folder
  ;sendmail_path = “\”C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\” -t”
  
  ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
  ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
  ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
  ;mail.force_extra_parameters =
  
  ; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
  mail.add_x_header = Off
  
  ; Log all mail() calls including the full path of the script, line #, to address and headers
  ;mail.log = "C:\xampp\php\logs\php_mail.log"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now the problem is...I get no error message but I am receiving no emails.</p>
