Use PHP mailer for sending mail.

using this you can send mail easily without any warning and error

Download PHP mailer from here: PHPMailer

require_once(APPPATH.'third_party/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
            $mail = new PHPMailer();
            $mail->IsSMTP(); 
            $mail->SMTPAuth   = true; 
            $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";  
            $mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";     
            $mail->Port       = 465;                   
            $mail->Username   = "test@gmail.com";  // your email address
            $mail->Password   = "test";            // your gmail password
            $mail->SetFrom('test@gmail.com', 'Test');  //sender mail address
            $mail->isHTML(true);
            $mail->Subject    = "Subject";
            $mail->Body      = 'hello there';
            $destino = 'test@gmail.com'; // receiver email address
            $mail->AddAddress($destino, "Receiver");
            if(!$mail->Send()) {
                return false;
            } else {
                return true;
            }

You have to set access for less trusted apps in your Gmail account also:

  1. Login to your gmail account
  2. Click on MyAccount from Google Apps
  3. Click on 'Signing in to Google' from left panel
  4. And Turn on 'Allow less secure apps' from bottom of page

now try to send mail.it's works 100%.

  • make sure your `php_sockets` extension enabled. – jagad89 May 12 '17 at 07:16
  • it is enabled in php.ini file. ;extension=php_sockets.dll – jatin May 12 '17 at 07:28
