I'm trying to send an email from my gmail account to some other gmail address. But my code doesn't seem to work at all.

PHP Code:

$config = array(
"protocol"  => "smtp",
"smtp_host" => "smtp.gmail.com",
"smtp_user" => "[email protected]",
"smtp_pass" => "xxxxxxxx",
"smtp_port" => 587,
"smtp_crypto"=> "tls"
);

$this->load->library("email");
//$this->load->library('encryption'); 
$this->email->initialize($config);

$this->email->from("[email protected]");
$this->email->to("[email protected]");
$this->email->message("Hello");
$this->email->subject("Test");
$this->email->send(); 


I have allowed less secure apps to access gmail. Also I'm executing this script on local computer. My PHP version is 7.2.11. Codeigniter version is 3.1.10

You should run the debug tool. It will tell you want's wrong.

Debugger says this.

Code:

Hello

My php.ini is like this

Code:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP=smtp.gmail.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port=587

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = [email protected]

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
;sendmail_path =

PHP Code:

$config['protocol']  = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'your_email';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'your_password';
$config['smtp_port'] = 465;
$config['charset']   = 'utf-8';
$config['mailtype']  = 'html';
$config['newline']   = "\r\n"; 


Try that.

PHP Code:

$config['protocol']  = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'your_email';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'your_password';
$config['smtp_port'] = 465;
$config['charset']   = 'utf-8';
$config['mailtype']  = 'html';
$config['newline']   = "\r\n"; 


Try that.

That worked!

Actually I had seen that example on stackoverflow. But used to remove the variable $config['newline'] = "\r\n", which seems to be crucial. Also smtp_host must be in the format in example. (I had used smtp.gmail.com, which works in PHPMailer script but not in codeigniter)

Thanks!
