title: How to test php mail() function locally on Homestead
body: <p>I'm very new to php and am trying to test the mail() function locally. I'm using Homestead/Laravel as a local server. My php.ini file only has one line, where I turn debugging on. Any Homestead/Laravel people out there know how to edit my files so that I can test email locally? Note: I added echo in front of the mail funciton to see if it was working at all.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  $emailTo = "test@gmail.com";
  $subject = "Testing out PHP";
  $body = "Huzzah";
  $headers = "From: test@test.co.uk";
  
  echo mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);    
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
