- some php codes don´t work on Apache when called through a html form

I´ve ran several codes on Apache local server succesfully;  
Then I made up my mind to test on localhost a php code that  
has been in use online for a while to process forms ;  
it´s a basic form that calls the file mailer.php

- \<form method=“POST” action=“mailer.php”\> ;  
Both files , form.htm and mailer.php , are in the folder  
C:\wamp\www\php\_tests ;

When submit is pressed the browser points to  
[http://localhost/php\_tests/mailer.php](http://localhost/php_tests/mailer.php) and nothing else happens,  
the page doesn´t load ;  
I expected a blank page or any kind of error message as I have  
not a local email server ;  
Is it possible to test forms scripts on my local machine ?  
Thank you fellows;
