I am trying to create and test email functionality in a code igniter app on localhost using xampp server. I am trying to use the Google SMTP mail server by configuring it in php.ini and sendmail.ini. I am getting lots of errors which I cannot understand. My gmail account uses 2 step authentication. does that matter? Here's my code
Controller:
$this->load->library('email');
$from =$this->input->post('email');
$econfig=
array(
'protocol'=>'smtp',
'smtp_host'=>"smtp.gmail.com",
'smtp_port'=>465,
'_smtp_auth'=>TRUE,
'smtp_user'=>"deb.pratyush@gmail",
'smtp_pass'=>"xxxxxxxx",
'smtp_crypto'=>'ssl',
'mailtype'=>'html',
'charset'=>'utf-8',
'validate'=>TRUE);
$this->email->initialize($econfig);
$this->email->set_newline("
");
$msg=$this->input->post('msg');
$subject = "Contact Request From ".$from ;
$name=$this->input->post('uname');
$this->email->to("deb.pratyush@gmail.com");
$this->email->from($from, stripslashes($name));
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($msg);
if($this->email->send())
{
$this->session->set_flashdata('msg', "Message Sent");
$url = base_url().'cms/contact-us';
redirect($url);
}
else{
echo "fail<br>";
//echo "m=".mail("deb.pratyush@gmail.com", $subject, $msg)."<br>";
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}
PHP INI:
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 465
sendmail_from = deb.pratyush@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "\"D:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
SENDMAIL INI:
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=465
smtp_ssl=auto
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=deb.pratyush@gmail.com
auth_password=xxxxxxxx
force_sender=deb.pratyush@gmail.com
