无法使用gmail smtp从localhost发送电子邮件？

Question

I am looking into cakephp email component first time. I am sending email like this from my localhost:

    $this->Email->smtpOptions = array(  'port'=>'465',
                                        'timeout'=>'30',
                                        'host'=>'smtp.gmail.com',
                                        'username'=>'[e-mail]',
                                        'password'=>'mygmailpassword'
                                     );


    $this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
    $this->Email->from = "[e-mail]";
    $this->Email->to = "[e-mail]";
    $this->Email->subject = "Subject";
    $this->Email->sendAs = 'html';
    $this->Email->lineLength = 255;
    $body = "<h1>This is body</h1>";
    $this->Email->send( $body );

It is not sending any email or not even showing any error.

Is there something missing ?

Thanks

Gmail's SMTP server requires SSL if I recall correctly.

Try

$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
    'port'=>'465', 
    'timeout'=>'30',
    'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
    'username'=>'[e-mail]',
    'password'=>'your_gmail_password',
);
