        'smtp_port' => 465,
        'smtp_user' => 'temp@gmail.com',
        'smtp_pass' => 'password',

Answer 2

use:

$this->email->send()
$this->email->print_debugger()

instead of:

if($this->email->send()){
    echo 'Email sent.';
}
else
{
    show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}

to debug
