Hi guys i am trying to send an email to myself for testing purpose . I have hosted website over cpanel and i am using Codeigniter libraries to send email.

This is my code in my controller 

 $config = array();
// $config['useragent']           = "CodeIgniter";
$config['mailpath']            = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; 
$config['protocol']            = "smtp";
$config['smtp_host']           = "ssl://smtp.googlemail.com";
$config['smtp_port']           = "465";
$config['smtp_user']="myemail@gmail.com";  
$config['smtp_pass']="mypass";
//  $config['mailtype'] = 'html';
//  $config['charset']  = 'utf-8';
// $config['newline']  = "\r\n";
//  $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

$this->load->library('email');

$this->email->initialize($config);


    $this->email->from('myemail@gmail.com', 'xyz');
    $this->email->to('myemail@gmail.com');

    $this->email->subject('Email Test');
    $this->email->message('Testing the email class.');

    if($this->email->send())
    {
    echo 'Email send.';
    }
    else
    {
    show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
    }

And this is the error that i am getting

  • what should be the value of config['smtp_host '] ? – jerome Feb 28 '17 at 09:02
  • @Jerzyk i have referred to that link but the solution does not work for me . I am getting the same error. Is there any other setting that i need to make in codeigniter ? – jerome Feb 28 '17 at 09:09
  • do a simple SMTP test on your server to see whether openssl is working – qwertzman Feb 28 '17 at 11:16
