    <p>Following is the configuration in <code>php.ini</code> and <code>sendmail.ini</code> respectively :</p> <pre><code>[mail function] sendmail_path = ""\"E:\Installed_Apps\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"" mail.add_x_header = Off [sendmail] SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com smtp_port=587 smtp_ssl=auto error_logfile=error.log auth_username=my_gmail_address auth_password=my_xxxxxx pop3_server= pop3_username= pop3_password= force_recipient= hostname= </code></pre> <p>And I try to send email as :</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $sent = mail('to_someone@hotmail.com','Message sent from XAMPP','Hey ! I just sent you a message using XAMPP'); if($sent) { echo "Mail sent successfully"; }else { echo "Sending failed"; } </code></pre> <p>I always get <code>true</code> for <code>$sent</code> but there is no email received at the above address. What could be the reason for this ? Is there anything wrong with the configuration file ?</p> <p><em><strong>Note :</em></strong> <em>I uploaded <code>php.ini</code> and <code>sendmail.ini</code> @ <a href="https://github.com/suhailgupta03/php.git" rel="nofollow">github</a> and I am running mercury on 25</em></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
