Sending email from localhost using xampp to gmail with Codeigniter

Question

Im trying to send an email from my localhost using xampp to Gmail with Codeigniter.

This is my code in the controller:

public function mail()
{
    $config = Array(
        'protocol' => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
        'smtp_port' => 465,
        'smtp_user' => 'kingkangddg@gmail.com',
        'smtp_pass' => '*****',
        'new_line' => "\r\n",
        );

    $this->load->library('email', $config);
    $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

    $this->email->from('kingkangddg@gmail.com', 'Glenn Samporna');
    $this->email->to('fajardokarlelbert@gmail.com');
    $this->email->subject('Test');
    $this->email->message('sample message');

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

}

It throws out errors like this:
