PHPMailer saying could not connect to SMTP host

Question

For the past 2 days I\'ve been trying to get a PHP script to send an e-mail and it doesn\'t seem to work. First I\'ve tried the normal php mail function, then PHPMailer and then

Answer 1

I have the same problem i tried with SSL with port 465 then it said services is unavailable then i try this thing it solve my problem hopefully it solve also yours 1) Make sure you use $mail->IsSMTP(); for the authentication. Ismail is only working for the same server with mail function

2) This thing fix my problem

$mail->SMTPSecure = "tsl"; 
$mail->Port = 587;

i add these two lines now email sending is perfectly working earlier i face this error SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting but above thing solve my problem hopefully it work for you thank you
