For me, adding the following code in the calling file did the trick

// xampp code fix      
ini_set( 'sendmail_from', "[email protected]" ); \\ My usual e-mail address
ini_set( 'SMTP', "mail.bigpond.com" );  \\ My usual sender
ini_set( 'smtp_port', 25 );

Those settings work with XAMPP using mail.php and pear. I understand wamp has no mail function??

I have used Fake Sendmail to successfully send emails from my localhost running WAMP.

Try following the instructions here to get it up and running.

Well do you have a mailserver configured on localhost? Otherwise to use mail you will probably have to use you internets provider smtp servers instead of localhost to connect.
