Failed to connect to mailserver at "mail.google.com" port 587, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()
I configured my xampp php.ini and sendmail.ini file to use my Gmail account for sending email from my PHP script. i am using xampp. after changing the [mail function] part of my php.ini looks like this (i have deleted commented outlines for simplicity)
[mail function]
SMTP = mail.google.com
smtp_port = 587
mail.add_x_header = Off
and my sendmail.ini file looks like this
[sendmail]
smtp_server=mail.google.com
smtp_port=587
smtp_ssl=auto
error_logfile=error.log
auth_username=babar+gmail.com
auth_password=**********
So what have I missed? Why am I getting this error?
You are using wrong SMTP settings for gmail. The correct ones are:
In php.ini
[mail function]
;SMTP = localhost
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
sendmail_path = "c:\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t -i"
In sendmail.ini
[sendmail]
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
smtp_ssl=tls
auth_username=me@example.com
auth_password=**********
Remeber: If you have enabled 2 step authentication, you have to create an application specific password.
set the smtp_ssl=auto as smtp_ssl=true
because google's smtp server needs ssl
