# Email Configuration Guide for Yelagiri Real Estate

## 🚨 Current Issue

Email notifications are not working on localhost because PHP's `mail()` function requires a mail server, which XAMPP doesn't have configured by default.

## ✅ Solutions (Choose One)

### **Option 1: Use Gmail SMTP (Recommended for Testing)**

1. **Install PHPMailer** (if not already installed):

```bash
   composer require phpmailer/phpmailer
   ```

2. **Update `admin/includes/notif_config.php`**:

```php
   // SMTP Configuration
   define('SMTP_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com');
   define('SMTP_PORT', 587);
   define('SMTP_USERNAME', 'your-email@gmail.com');
   define('SMTP_PASSWORD', 'your-app-password'); // Use App Password, not regular password
   define('SMTP_ENCRYPTION', 'tls');
   ```

3. **Get Gmail App Password**:

- Go to: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
   - Sign in to your Gmail account
   - Click "Select app" → Choose "Mail"
   - Click "Select device" → Choose "Windows Computer"
   - Click "Generate"
   - Copy the 16-character password (no spaces)
   - Use this password in `SMTP_PASSWORD`

4. **The system will automatically use SMTP** when configured

---

### **Option 2: Configure XAMPP Sendmail (Windows)**

1. **Edit `C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini`**:

```ini
   smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
   smtp_port=587
   auth_username=your-email@gmail.com
   auth_password=your-app-password
   force_sender=your-email@gmail.com
   ```

2. **Edit `C:\xampp\php\php.ini`**:

```ini
   [mail function]
   SMTP=localhost
   smtp_port=25
   sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"
   ```

3. **Restart Apache** in XAMPP Control Panel

---

### **Option 3: Disable Email (SMS Only)**

If you only want SMS notifications:

1. **Edit `admin/bookings/update_status.php`**
2. **Comment out the email line**:
   ```php
   // sendBookingConfirmationEmail($booking_data);
   ```

---

## 🧪 Testing Email

After configuration, test using:

```
http://localhost/gravity1/admin/test_email.php?email=your-test@email.com
```

---

## 📝 Production Deployment

For production server:

- Most hosting providers have mail servers configured
- PHP `mail()` will work automatically
- Or use SMTP with your business email

---

## ⚠️ Important Notes

1. **Gmail Security**: You MUST use App Password, not your regular Gmail password
2. **2FA Required**: Gmail App Passwords only work if 2-Factor Authentication is enabled
3. **Daily Limits**: Gmail has sending limits (500 emails/day for free accounts)
4. **For Production**: Consider using:
   - SendGrid (free tier: 100 emails/day)
   - Mailgun (free tier: 5,000 emails/month)
   - AWS SES (very cheap, reliable)

---

## 🔧 Current Status

- ✅ **SMS Notifications**: Working with Fast2SMS
- ❌ **Email Notifications**: Requires SMTP configuration
- 📧 **Email Template**: Ready and professional
