error in sending email

[eluser]talwinder[/eluser]
hi, i am trying to send the email using email class in codeigniter.

i am getting the following error:

Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.googlemail.com:465 (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?)

this is the code below.

Code:

function email (){
        
        $config = Array(
            
            'protocol' => 'smtp',
            'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
            'smtp_port' => 465,
            'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
            'smtp_pass' => 'password'
        );
        
        $this->load->library('email', $config);
        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
        
        $this->email->from('[email protected]');
        $this->email->to('[email protected]');
        $this->email->subject('this is a email test');
        $this->email->message('this is the email iam trying to send from codeigniter');
        
       if($this->email->send()){
        echo 'you email was sent successfully';
       }
       else{
        
        show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
       }
    }

Simple test code, this would allow you to check your PHP capabilities and your hosting provider's firewall settings

Code:

<?php
$fp = fsockopen("www.google.com", 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 10);  // work fine

if ( ! $fp)
{
    echo "www.google.com - $errstr($errno)<br>\n";
}
else
{
    echo "www.google.com - ok<br>\n";
    $fp = fsockopen("smtp.gmail.com", 465, &$errno, &$errstr, 10);   // NOT work

if ( ! $fp)
{
    echo "smtp.gmail.com 465 - $errstr($errno)<br>\n";
}
else
{
    echo "smtp.gmail.com 465 - ok<br>\n";
    $fp = fsockopen("smtp.gmail.com", 587, &$errno, &$errstr, 10);   // NOT work
}
if ( ! $fp)
{
    echo "smtp.gmail.com 587 - $errstr($errno)<br>\n";
}
else
{
    echo "smtp.gmail.com 587 - ok<br>\n";
    echo "<br />".phpinfo();
}

Well that means there is a problem with imagic.php

Make sure your running the latest version of WAMP.
