Having trouble with PHPMailer

Question

I am trying to use PHPMailer to send a gmail email. I followed this post

In order to do this, I set up a function shown below:

function sendEmail($         


        

Answer 1

Here is a working example:

IsSMTP(); // Use SMTP
  $Mail->Host        = "smtp.gmail.com"; // Sets SMTP server
  $Mail->SMTPDebug   = 2; // 2 to enable SMTP debug information
  $Mail->SMTPAuth    = TRUE; // enable SMTP authentication
  $Mail->SMTPSecure  = "tls"; //Secure conection
  $Mail->Port        = 587; // set the SMTP port
  $Mail->Username    = 'MyGmail@gmail.com'; // SMTP account username
  $Mail->Password    = 'MyGmailPassword'; // SMTP account password
  $Mail->Priority    = 1; // Highest priority - Email priority (1 = High, 3 = Normal, 5 = low)
  $Mail->CharSet     = 'UTF-8';
  $Mail->Encoding    = '8bit';
  $Mail->Subject     = 'Test Email Using Gmail';
  $Mail->ContentType = 'text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n';
  $Mail->From        = 'MyGmail@gmail.com';
  $Mail->FromName    = 'GMail Test';
  $Mail->WordWrap    = 900; // RFC 2822 Compliant for Max 998 characters per line

  $Mail->AddAddress( $ToEmail ); // To:
  $Mail->isHTML( TRUE );
  $Mail->Body    = $MessageHTML;
  $Mail->AltBody = $MessageTEXT;
  $Mail->Send();
  $Mail->SmtpClose();

  if ( $Mail->IsError() ) { // ADDED - This error checking was missing
    return FALSE;
  }
  else {
    return TRUE;
  }
}

$ToEmail = 'Name@example.com';
$ToName  = 'Name';

$Send = SendMail( $ToEmail, $MessageHTML, $MessageTEXT );
if ( $Send ) {
  echo "
 Sent OK
";
}
else {
  echo "
 ERROR
";
}
die;
?>

I tried this script and had no problem sending several messages.

This is the typical response from Gmail on success:
