How can I get fix this error of this email issue with codeigniter?

Question

I have a problem like this.I want to send a mail from my web application so I put this in my controller.

$from_email = "tharuwan40@gmail.com";
$to_email = "warimali94@gmail.com";

//Load email library
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from($from_email, 'Info');
$this->email->to($to_email);
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
$this->email->send();

This web application is still running on localhost.I tried so many examples in the net and which have been posted in stack overflow tooo.But there was nothing on my mail.Email was not send.How can I get fix this?

did you set the preferences correctly? https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide2/libraries/email.html — I wrestled a bear once., Feb 13 '18 at 03:06
Check if $this->email->send() return true or false. Also try to use print_debugger() by codeigniter. — Param Bhat, Feb 13 '18 at 03:07
can you print the output using print_r($this->email->print_debugger(), true);? — Param Bhat, Feb 13 '18 at 03:43

Create config array

 $config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'xxx@gmail.com',// your mail name
    'smtp_pass' => '*****',
    'mailtype'  => 'html', 
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
    'wordwrap' => TRUE
);

then

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

  $this->email->from('mygmail@gmail.com', 'myname');//your mail address and name
  $this->email->to('target@gmail.com'); //receiver mail

  $this->email->subject('testing');
  $this->email->message($message);

  if($this->email->send()) //sending mail
  {
     echo 'Mail sent';
  }
  else
  { 
     print_r($this->email->print_debugger(), true);
  }
