EOF;
   //end of message
    $headers  = "From: $from\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

    //options to send to cc+bcc
    //$headers .= "Cc: [email]maa@p-i-s.cXom[/email]";
    //$headers .= "Bcc: [email]email@maaking.cXom[/email]";

    // now lets send the email.
    ini_set("SMTP","smtp.gmail.com");
    ini_set("smtp_port","465");
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

    echo "Message has been sent....!";
?>

I am getting below error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "smtp.gmail.com" port 465, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\testMail.php on line 31

    As far as I know, Google's SMTP server requires authentication as well as using an encrypted (SSL/TLS) connection. You can't just point to smtp.gmail.com with 2 or 3 headers and send emails. – Narf Sep 07 '11 at 08:42

Gmail servers use TLS and login/password authentification, you can't use them with PHP's mail() function.

Try using a mail library like Swiftmailer. Here is an example that may work with Gmail: http://swiftmailer.org/wikidocs/v3/connections/smtp

You need to use SMTP authorization for gmail's SMTP server to work which you can't do with mail.

Take a look at PHPMailer they have a good example here.

sometimes an isp provides free smtp service for their clients to some degree. google yourisp & smtp.
