Unable to send a mail in local by using WAMP and sendmail

Question

I am working on a php project and I got to a part where I am supposed to send a mail to the user. I decided to use the PHP function mail(). Anytime I try the code below, it is unsuccessful:

// Sending the confirmation mail

            $confirmation_link = "http://localhost/africafashion_newversion/confirm.php?id=$user_id&token=$token";

            $to = $_POST['email'];
            $subject = "Confirmation de votre compte";

            $message = '
                <html>
                    <head>
                        <title>'.$subject.'</title>
                    </head>

                    <body>
                        <div>

                            <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;width:100%!important;height:100%!important">

                $req = $pdo->prepare('DELETE FROM users WHERE UserID = ?');

                $req->execute([$user_id]);

                exit();
             }

        }

Please help me solve this problem.

Have you made any configuration settings yet to enable sending mails? (Because that is not a given on a Windows machine.) User comments have tips on how that can be achieved, f.e. http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php#118210 — CBroe, Apr 29 '16 at 10:17

Don't use SendMail, You can use SwiftMailer. It's simple as well as you can send email in Inbox(not as spam..!!!). So it'll help you and save your time.

Code of my Send.php

include_once "inc/swift_required.php";

$subject = 'Hello from Jeet Patel, PHP!'; //this will Subject
$from = array('jeet@mydomain.com' =>'mydomain.com'); //you can use variable

$text = "This is TEXT PART";
$html = "<em>This IS <strong>HTML</strong></em>";

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('abc.xyz.com', 465, 'ssl');
$transport->setUsername('MYUSERNAME@MYDOMAIN.COM');
$transport->setPassword('*********');
$swift = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);



    $to = array($row['email']  => $row['cname']);
    $message = new Swift_Message($subject);
    $message->setFrom($from);
    $message->setBody($html, 'text/html');
    $message->setTo($to);
    $message->addPart($text, 'text/plain');

    if ($swift->send($message, $failures))
    {
        echo "Send successfulllyy";
    } else {
        print_r($failures);

    }
