Gmail mailing error - El Forum - 04-17-2012

<?php
Class Community extends CI_Controller{
function index(){
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 587, //I've also tried using port 465
'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
'smtp_pass' => 'xxxx',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'xyz');
$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->subject('Yadyaydayayayyayaada');
$this->email->message('ayyaydyadydydyaydaydyaydyaydya');
if($this->email->send()){
echo 'Your email is sent, foo!';
}else{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
}
}
I googled for a solution for 4 hours, and all I could get is uncommenting the openssl line in php.ini (I don't even have that!), I manually added that one.
But the codes above still gave me this error ->
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.googlemail.com:443 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. )
Filename: libraries/Email.php
Line Number: 1689
If anyone can help me here, I would be really really thankful. Thanks

It's highly likely that your server does not have OpenSSL or an implementation of SSL installed, so it's unable to create an SSL connection to GMail's servers.

@gRoberts PHP will produce an error stating that SSL was not enabled on the server if that was the case.
GMail had a pretty wide service outtage yesterday. That could be your problem.
