If you want to test if you can send email from Laravel using only command prompt, here is how ..
- First open your favorite command prompt
- Go to your root folder of your website (i.e cd c:\xampp\htdocs\mySite )
- Run this command: php artisan tinker
- Mail::send(‘myView‘, [], function ($message) { $message->to(‘yourEmail@test.com’)->subject(‘Sending mail is OK’); });
