Following is the code that I am using for sending mail using PHPMailer but getting error.
public function changePassword(){
if($this->request->is('post')){
require_once(ROOT .DS. 'vendor' . DS . 'PHPMailer' . DS . 'class.phpmailer.php');
$email = 'abc@gmail.com';
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'TLS'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "xyz@gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "dead_gone";
$mail->SetFrom("xyz@gmail.com");
$mail->AddAddress($email);
$mail->Subject = "password recovery";
$mail->Body = "your password is:- sdx_12345 click here to log in <a href ='http://localhost/cake/logins'> click here </a> ";
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "mail sent";
}
}
}
