• $smtpServer: Replace with your mail server (e.g., mail.yourdomain.com).
• $username / $password: Use your full email address and password.
• $port: Default is 25. Use 587 or 465 if SSL/TLS is required.
• $localhost: Typically your domain name or mail server hostname.

• Use authenticated SMTP for reliable delivery.
• Consider using PHPMailer or SwiftMailer for modern, secure email handling.
• Always test your script with a valid recipient before deploying live.
• Check if your hosting requires SSL/TLS and adjust port settings accordingly.
