Unable to send google mail CodeIgniter with ubuntu server


Im try to send email using gmail with codeIgniter. here is my code :

function sendemail($name,$key, $email) {

    $this -> load -> library('email');      

    $econfig['protocol'] = "smtp";
    $econfig['smtp_host'] = "ssl://smtp.googlemail.com";
    $econfig['smtp_port'] = 465;
    $econfig['smtp_user'] = "*******@gmail.com"; 
    $econfig['smtp_pass'] = "******";
    $econfig['charset'] = "utf-8";
    $econfig['mailtype'] = "html";

    $this -> email -> initialize($econfig);
    $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

    $this -> email -> from('*********@gmail.com', 'Asoft Administration');
    $this -> email -> to($email);

    $this -> email -> subject('Subject');
    $this -> email -> message("HTML MESSAGE");

    if (!$this -> email -> send()) {
        echo $this -> email -> print_debugger();
        return false;
    } else {            
        return true;
    }
}

My Environment is ubuntu server. Im never use postfix or sendmail. Is it required to send gmail mails ?. i double checked user name and password.!

After try send email im get this error.

Solution

  • I had same problem, here is my working code:

    $config = array(
        'protocol' => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
        'smtp_port' => 465,
        'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
        'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',
        'mailtype' => 'html',
        'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
        'wordwrap' => TRUE
    );
    
    $this->load->library('email', $config);
    $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
    $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Niraj');
    $this->email->to($email);
    $this->email->subject('SOME SUBJECT');
    $this->email->message('<p>Some Content</p>');
    $this->email->send();
