PHPMailer mail not sent => Many errors

Question

I want to use the Mail function using PHPMailer in order to give an email confirmation for someone who filled a form.

Here's my send mail code =>

 /* some codes with already a phpmyadmin database and a form */


function send_mail($email,$message,$subject) // method called, ignore the param
    {                       
        require_once('mailer/class.phpmailer.php');
    $mail = new PHPMailer();

    $mail->IsSMTP();
    $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';

    $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
    $mail->Port = 465; // for ssl
    $mail->Username = 'an_email_test_1@gmail.com';
    $mail->Password = 'pwd_of_username_just_above';

    $mail->SetFrom('an_email_test_1@gmail.com'); // same as ->Username
    $mail->Subject = "Test Mail";
    $mail->Body = "Hi.";
    $mail->AddAddress('an_email_test_2@gmail.com');

    if (!$mail->Send())
        return 'Mail error:' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    return 'Success, check your mail.';
}

I get a "SMTP Class not found" so I included right below the require_once('mailer/class.phpmailer.php'); =>

        require 'mailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';

and thanks the SMTPDebug enabled, it gives me this error >

I don't really know how to solve it, I just wanted to send a simple mail without any informations for now with 2 gmail address created especially for that. The n°1 as the sender and the n°2 as the recipient

Should I change something from the apache php.ini in the mail function or something else ? Thanks for helping me :)

It would help if you read [the troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting) that the error message pointed you at, or any of the many duplicates of this question. — Synchro, May 20 '16 at 16:01

Have you activeated the php_openssl extension in PHP

Using the menus do

wampmanager -> PHP -> PHP Extension -> php_openssl

If this menu item does not have a TICK beside it, click the php_openssl menu line and it will activate the extension and restart Apache for you so it see's the change.

You may also need to Allow less secure password on the accounts

I checked wampmanager settings and php_openssl was already marked. Furthermore, thanks to you, I change the account security of my mail sender with your link and now I received from my mail n°2, the mail as I wanted. Thanks for that but is it normal if the error message is still there with SMTPDebug ? – rnerde May 20 '16 at 15:33
