Hey guys, I made a contact form in PHP using mail() function, but using mail() is ungodly slow.. it takes hours for the email to arrive. I've read that you can setup your gmail account to allow SMTP and it is much faster. Does anyone have any ready made code that does this where I can copy and paste my own details into it? Look for both Contact.php (the contact form) as well as the php file to process the email

Thanks

Try this :https://www.formget.com/send-email-via-gmail-smtp-server-in-php/
I haven't tested the script myself but it seems is what you are looking for.

Try Mailgun's API instead. You'll get 10.000 free mail per month.

https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

Plenty of code examples for you to get going. Same library as most of the open-source projects WP Drupal etc

Always use SMTP, that's a great idea, and the link above will work
PHP mails are too much of a hassle with all the delays
