联系表格不会发送电子邮件

Question

Explanation

I download this website template from themefisher, but I can't get the contact form to work. I changed the $to section in the php file to my email address, so I can receive it; but after filling the form and sending it, even thought I got a success message, there's nothing in my inbox or junk.

Answer 1

You need an external server to send an email. It is not possible to send an email on a local server using PHP.
