Send Email from Localhost XAMPP

May I know how to send an email from localhost to gmail or other email accounts? I already make research regarding this matter and tried to do it but still can not send the email. Below are my sendmail.ini and php.ini files that I edit,

sendmail.ini

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=465
smtp_ssl=ssl
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=khairulamran.nazri@gmail.com
auth_password=[email password]
pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=
force_sender=khairulamran.nazri@gmail.com
force_recipient=
hostname=smtp.gmail.com

php.ini - mail function

SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 465
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
mail.add_x_header=Off

contact.php - to send the email

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){
    $name=$_POST['name'];
    $to=$_POST['email'];
    $hp=$_POST['hp'];
    $subject="Test";
    $msg="Thank you for Register. Your Name is ".$name." and Hp no. is ".$hp;
    $header="khairulamran.nazri@gmail.com";
    $success=mail($to,$subject,$msg,$header);
    if($success==true){
        echo "Email send successfully ";
    } else{
        echo "Error sending email";
    }
}
?>
<form name="contact" method="post" action="">
Nama:<input type="text" name="name"><p>
Email:<input type="text" name="email"><p>
Hp:<input type="text" name="hp">
<input type="submit" name="submitted" value="Submit">
</form>

If click Submit, it will not send the email that have been submitted.

This is the solution for my case. Hope it will be useful if someone need information regarding this case as well. 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){
    $name=$_POST['name'];
    $to=$_POST['email'];
    $hp=$_POST['hp'];

    require '../PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
    $mail = new PHPMailer;
    $mail->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
    $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username = 'myemail@gmail.com';                 // SMTP username
    $mail->Password = 'mypassword';                           // SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
    $mail->Port = 587;                                    // TCP port to connect to
    $mail->setFrom('khairulamran.nazri@gmail.com', 'Amran');
    $mail->addAddress($to);               // Name is optional
    $mail->addReplyTo('khairulamran.nazri@gmail.com', 'Information');
    $mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML
    $mail->Subject = 'Test Email';
    $mail->Body    = 'Body of message goes here';
    $mail->AltBody = 'Body of message goes here<for non html mail client>';
    if(!$mail->send()) {
        echo 'Message could not be sent.';
        echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    } else {
        echo 'Message has been sent';
    }
}
?>

<form name="contact" method="post" action="">
Nama:<input type="text" name="name"><p>
Email:<input type="text" name="email"><p>
Hp:<input type="text" name="hp">
<input type="submit" name="submitted" value="Submit">
</form>

Try to use mailer library. I had used and it will work perfectly. Follow this. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

You would need to only enter your gmail credentials and after that it will work.
