I have an issue with PHPMailer. First i have integrated phpmailer and email are sent without any issues in localhost and live server. Since yesterday, i have an issues to send email in localhost but not in live server. The error i got when i send the email in localhost are

Email could not be sent to the recently approved member. ErrorSMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

This is the same code to send the emails both in live server and localhost.

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'someone@gmail.com';                 // SMTP username
$mail->Password = $pw;                           // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 25;                                    // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('someone@gmail.com', 'Reboot E-Magazine');
$mail->addAddress($email);     // Add a recipient
$mail->Subject = 'Article Confirmation';
$mail->Body =
'Reboot Magazine

  • Have you read the troubleshooting article you linked to? It has some good advice and even things to check that your code is clearly guilty of – Caius Jard Dec 09 '18 at 09:57

I believe it was already answered here:

SMTP Connect() failed. Message was not sent.Mailer error: SMTP Connect() failed

Commenting

$mail->isSMTP();

usualy fixes this issue.
