I had problems with this initially and got around it by loading the parameters into an array, then initialising the library using the array.

Code:

$config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'xxx',
    'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',
    'mailtype'  => 'html',
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

// Set to, from, message, etc.
        
$result = $this->email->send();

It worked!!!
Thank u very much

That solved the issue for me too

Does this mean using config/email.php is deprecated?

I was using $this->load->library('email');
and removing config/email.php and adding the $config array directly to the controller and using $this->load->library('email', $config); Worked

You did not specify a SMTP hostname.
Unable to send email using PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.
