unable to send mail in php using mailer class

Question

Today i was doing some mailing stuff in the php, I found that there are two methods for that one is the simple mail function provided by the Php and the second i found on the internet it was about using the PHP mailer class from the site https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer. the problem is that which i run my program than the mail is not being sent. Let's have a look at the code

<?php
include 'PHPMailer-master/class.phpmailer.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer();   // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP();           // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 1;     // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 
                           //            2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;  // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail

$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; # or 587

$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "singh6@gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "88888*******";

$mail->SetFrom('singh@gmail.com');
$mail->AddAddress('sanu@gmail.com');
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body    = "hello";

$sendResult = $mail->Send();

if ($sendResult)
{
     echo "Message has been sent";

}
else
{
     echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}

Now when I run this script I get the following error:

CLIENT -> SMTP: EHLO localhost 
SMTP -> ERROR: EHLO not accepted from server: 
CLIENT -> SMTP: HELO localhost

Notice: fwrite(): send of 16 bytes failed with errno=10054 An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. in C:\xampp\htdocs\program\mailsending1\mailsending_v1\PHPMailer-master\class.smtp.php on line 1023

SMTP -> ERROR: HELO not accepted from server: 
SMTP -> NOTICE: EOF caught while checking if connected
SMTP Connect() failed. 
Mailer Error: SMTP Connect() failed.

Replace `"sending failed"` with `$mail->ErrorInfo` and post the error message. — Nabil Kadimi, Aug 12 '13 at 05:52

The error says it all, the remote host closes the connection. Contact the provider of the remote host and ask about the specification of how their system is intended to work with your system. As far as PHPMailer and GMail is concerned, this is likely duplicate material here on stackoverflow. — hakre, Aug 12 '13 at 07:15
You're running on windows. Are you sure that `$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';` is supported by your system? How did you verfiy? — hakre, Aug 12 '13 at 07:23
Try `$mail->SMTPSecure = 'SSL'; $mail->Host = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com';` and see if it works. Also verify ports: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/13287?hl=en - TLS requires 587, SSL requires 465 - You're using the wrong port for TLS. — hakre, Aug 12 '13 at 07:30

now the error is: SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? (1546610735)SMTP Connect() failed. Mailer Error: SMTP Connect() failed. — Anurag Singh, Aug 12 '13 at 07:42
try uncommenting the line **extension=php_openssl.dll** in your php.ini — Vipin Kumar KM, Aug 12 '13 at 10:32

Change the SMTP port to 465. It should work

For what this line is for? Try removing this line. $mail->Mailer="smtp"; add a text body also. $mail->Body = 'Test'; – Kasun Rajapaksha Aug 12 '13 at 06:39
Check whether your firewall is not blocking your outgoing connection. port 465 – Kasun Rajapaksha Aug 12 '13 at 07:19

first try this to find errors

if ($mail->Send()) 
{
echo "mail send sucessfully";
}
else 
{
echo "sending failed";
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}

put body in your mail

$mail->Body="<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='en-us'>
<head>
<meta charset='utf-8'>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
</html>";
