Please use code tags in the future.
PHP can only send to the mail server. It cannot guarantee that the message is delivered.

If you're willing to try PHPMailer, it can be used to send emails via your Gmail's SMTP server even without you having a mail server installed on your machine.
Link: Sending e-mails via SMTP with PHPmailer and GMail

If not then check out hMailServer.

Helping you is impossible without being able to see your code.

<?php
require_once('PHPMailer_5.2.1\class.phpmailer.php');
 
$mail             = new PHPMailer();
 
$body             = "Welcome";

 
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  		// enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";                 		// sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      		// sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 465;                  	 	// set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "php@gmail.com";  	// GMAIL username
$mail->Password   = "********";		// GMAIL password
 
$mail->SetFrom('from@gmail.com', 'First Last');
 
$mail->Subject    = "Test PHPMailer via Gmail smtp";

You must allow outgoing connections via port 465. If that's not already done have a look at this guide:
Open A Port In Windows Firewall

If that doesn't work then set the SMTPDebug property of PHPMailer to true and view the errors.

The steps are in the documentation, assuming you're referring to hMailServer.
