回答1:

try setting your

$mail->SMTPSecure

$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';

Also, create app password for your google account and use it in exchange for your password in $mail->Password.

This code worked for me

$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // create a new object

I commented this line //$mail->isSMTP(); // enable SMTP

 $mail->SMTPDebug = 4; 
 $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled

You have to use tls whith port 587

 $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
 $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
 $mail->Port = 587; 
 $mail->Mailer = "smtp";
 $mail->isHTML(true);
 $mail->Username = "yourmail@gmail.com";
 $mail->Password = "yourpassword";
 $mail->From="yourmail@gmail.com";
 $mail->FromName="YOUR NAME";
 $mail->Subject = $subject;
 $mail->Body = $body;
 $mail->addAddress("somemail@gmail.com");

 if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
 } else {
   echo "Email Sent";
 }

Also when you are using gmail you go to Apps with account access and set Allow less secure apps: ON

GMAIL CONFIGURATION

回答3:

If working in localhost,

In php.ini: remove the semicolon in front of "sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost" and restart xampp.

In gmail account: in the security settings, turn on "Allow less secure apps".

And finally in PHP script: add two functions: "date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC')" "gethostbyname('ssl://smtp.gmail.com')" as a value for " $mail->Host"
