Error in sending email in codeigniter

Question

I am using following configuration for sending mail through php mail function :

function sendInvoiceEmail() {

GET CUSTOMER EMAIL

        $recieverEmail = xyz@test.com; //Valid Email ID
        $recieverName = xyz; 

CREATE EMAIL CONFIGURATION ARRAY

    $emailConfig = array(
            'protocol' => 'smtp',
            'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
            'smtp_port' => 465,
            'smtp_user' => 'abc@abc.com',   //Valid Email ID
            'smtp_pass' => 'password',      //Valid password
            'mailtype' => 'html', //text or html
            'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
        );

Set your email information

        $from = array('email' => 'abc@abc.com', 'name' => 'Testing');

    $to = array('email' => $recieverEmail, 'name' => $recieverName);
        $subject = "Test Mail for Invoice ";

        $message = "Test Message for Invoice";

Load CodeIgniter Email library

        $this->load->library('email', $emailConfig);
        $this->email->initialize($emailConfig);

Sometimes you have to set the new line character for better result

        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

Set email preferences

        $this->email->from($from['email'], $from['name']);
        $this->email->to($to['email'], $to['name']);
        $this->email->subject($subject);
        $this->email->message($message);

Ready to send email and check whether the email was successfully sent

        if ($this->email->send()) {
            return true;
        } else {
            show_error($this->email->print_debugger());                
        }
    }

I am having PHP 5.3.9 version and wampserver but I am getting following error :

Answer 1

Try changing the "smtp_host" to " smtp.gmail.com "

Check out: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host

Try checking the SSL error:

From the error it looks like your version of PHP might not have been compiled with ssl.

Run:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

And check if the "Configure Command" has something like "--with-openssl=/usr". Also check that you have ssl listed in the "Registered Stream Socket Transports" section.

Answer 2

I know about wampserver there is setting in PHP Extension so if you are using wampserver then you can do the following step :

1) Go to WampSever Tray icon

2) Go to PHP Extension

3) Search for php_openssl

4) If it is not checked then mark it as checked ( php_openssl )

Otherwise you can refer Michael's answer :)

Hope it will help you.
