I'm using WampServer on Windows to test a site. I have a registration system where users get a confirmation email.
Is it possible to send emails from a localhost?
php
email
localhost

You have $headers .= '...'; followed by $headers = '...';; the second line is overwriting the first.
Just put the $headers .= "Bcc: $emailListrn"; say after the Content-type line and it should be fine.
On a side note, the To is generally required; mail servers might mark your message as spam otherwise.
$headers = "From: no-reply@thepartyfinder.co.ukrn" .
"X-Mailer: phprn";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1rn";
$headers .= "Bcc: $emailListrn";

Try using SMTP server with gmail.
ini_set("SMTP","ssl://smtp.gmail.com");
ini_set("smtp_port","465");
or else there are many PHP mailer library. which simplifies things for you and makes it so easier to use. my fav is swift mailer. the best part about is you don't have to mess with your core php configuration file and the documentation too is very easy to read.
for example if you want to send a mail using PHP's swift mailer library it is as simple as.
require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';
// Create the Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.example.org', 25)
->setUsername('your username')
->setPassword('your password');
// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
// Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Wonderful Subject')
->setFrom(array('john@doe.com' => 'John Doe'))
->setTo(array('receiver@domain.org', 'other@domain.org' => 'A name'))
->setBody('Here is the message itself');
// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);
you can refer the documentation for more information on the official website http://swiftmailer.org/docs

If you want to send emails from localhost directly, you need to install a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), or if you like, a SMTP service.
IIS provides one. You can otherwise find some others on Google.
You can also change your
php.inimail settings. This won't uselocalhostper say to send emails, but a relay host that will allow you to send emails from a PHP script.
