PHP Mailer - SMTP GMAIL AUTHENTICATION


I have problem with the PHP MAILER function. I am using GMAIL SMTP Authentication for sending email and also its working perfectly but i want to set "From" email like "[email protected]" but it doesn't working properly.

I used below code to set "From" email

$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host       = "mail.gmail.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 0;                     // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 465;                   // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "[email protected]";  // GMAIL username
$mail->Password   = "test@123";  

$mail->SetFrom("[email protected]","Domian");

It's showing me default email [email protected] instead of [email protected]

Please help me out.

Thanks in Advance!

  • Gmail re-writes the headers on messages sent through smtp.gmail.com, replacing the FROM address with the gmail address associated with the gmail account that you are using to send the message through.
