On the simple PHP application, how would I actually get the contact form to send my email an email? I tried changing the email within the form from the @treehouse one to my won, but it never came through.
Do I need to change a setting on my server or anything like that? I am running MAMP and have it in htdocs and that all works. Just not sure if there's another setting or something I'm missing.

I guess smtp server should be installed and setup. Please refer to the below link:

Hope this is useful for you.
Thanks!

Have you checked for any errors coming back from php mailer?
