I am currently trying to send an email or verification email after I've done signing up. The problem is I cannot send a verification through gmail because of this error:
The following SMTP error was encountered: Unable to send email using
PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this
method.
I've already tried searching for solution here in stackoverflow, but I haven't found any solution that works for my problem.i have also done changing the smtp_port to 465 but still, it didn't solve my problem.
I am using Localhost and I configured the php.ini and sendmail.ini on xampp folder.
php.ini

smtp_port=587
sendmail_from = qwerty#gmail.com

//insert user to users table and get id
$user['email'] = $email;
$user['password'] = $password;
$user['code'] = $code;
$user['active'] = false;
$id = $this->users_model->insert($user);
//set up email
$config = array(

You don't need to change php.ini or sendmail.ini to send SMTP. Please make it default.
After I look at your SMTP configuration, You missed a little thing but seems important: crypto protocol.
You can set crypto protocol inside $config['smtp_host'] like so:
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com'
Or you can also try this config:
$config['protocol'] = "smtp";
$config['smtp_host'] = "smtp.googlemail.com";
$config['smtp_port'] = "465"; // if you decided to use 465, then set smtp crypto to ssl, else for example 587, you need to set smtp crypto to tls.
$config['smtp_crypto'] = 'ssl'; // this is based on your smtp port -> ssl/tls
$config['smtp_timeout'] = "400";
$config['smtp_user'] = "youruser#gmail.com";
$config['smtp_pass'] = "yourpassword%&^$&$";
$config['validate'] = true;
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['mailtype'] = "html";
$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
Then assign $config to email library: $this->load->library('email', $config);
Please do check less security (in gmail setting) was: enabled.
Otherwise, you can create email.php as an email config library inside application/config/email.php
just put it there:
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') or exit('No direct script access allowed');
$config['protocol'] = "smtp";
$config['smtp_host'] = "smtp.googlemail.com";
$config['smtp_port'] = "465"; // if you decided to use 465, then set smtp crypto to ssl, else for example 587, you need to set smtp crypto to tls.
$config['smtp_crypto'] = 'ssl'; // this is based on your smtp port -> ssl/tls
$config['smtp_timeout'] = "400";
$config['smtp_user'] = "youruser#gmail.com";
$config['smtp_pass'] = "yourpassword%&^$&$";
$config['validate'] = true;
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['mailtype'] = "html";
$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
?>
Then inside your controller you don't need to set up your $config anymore :D, but all you have to do just call $this->load->library('email'); in controller.

If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can
instead put them into a config file. Simply create a new file called
the email.php, add the $config array in that file. Then save the file
at config/email.php and it will be used automatically. You will NOT
need to use the $this->email->initialize() function if you save your
preferences in a config file.
I was able to get this to work by putting all the settings into application/config/email.php.
$config['useragent'] = 'CodeIgniter';
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
//$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

Then, in one of the controller methods I have something like:

$this->email->from('YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com', 'YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com');
$this->email->to('SOMEEMAILHERE#gmail.com');
$this->email->subject('Test email from CI and Gmail');
$this->email->message('This is a test.');
$this->email->send();
Also, as Cerebro wrote, I had to uncomment out this line in my php.ini file and restart PHP:
extension=php_openssl.dll
You need to enable SSL in your PHP config. Load up php.ini and find a line with the following:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
Uncomment it. :D
(by removing the semicolon from the statement)
extension=php_openssl.dll
Change it to the following:
$ci = get_instance();
$ci->load->library('email');
$config['protocol'] = "smtp";
$config['smtp_host'] = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$config['smtp_port'] = "465";

echo 'Your email was sent, thanks chamil.';
} else {
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
Another option I have working, in a linux server with Postfix:
First, configure CI email to use your server's email system: eg, in email.php, for example
# alias to postfix in a typical Postfix server
$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
Then configure your postfix to relay the mail to google (perhaps depending on the sender address). You'll probably need to put you user-password settings in /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
(docs)
This is much simpler (and less fragmente) if you have a linux box, already configured to send some/all of its outgoing emails to Google.
Perhaps your hosting server and email server are located at same place and you don't need to go for smtp authentication. Just keep every thing default like:
$config = array(
'protocol' => '',
'smtp_host' => '',
'smtp_port' => '',
'smtp_user' => 'yourname#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => '**********'
);
or
$config['protocol'] = '';
$config['smtp_host'] = '';
$config['smtp_port'] = ;
$config['smtp_user'] = 'yourname#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'password';
it works for me.
It can be this:

Should I be able to send SMTP email on my local development PC with CodeIgniter without having a SMTP server application installed on my local development PC?
For example, the following doesn't work.

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

$data['message'] = "Mail sent...";
}
$this->load->view('test_view', $data);
The following returns

and doesn't arrive at the destination email.
Try loading parameters into an array and then initializing the library using array source: CodeIgniter Forum:
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,

// Set to, from, message, etc.
$result = $this->email->send();
Also, maybe you need to enable SSL in your php.ini. If you see the line:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
uncomment it by removing semicolon from the beginning of the line and then restart PHP.
hello all i have to send email on localhost

}
}
but i got following error when i send email
The following SMTP error was encountered:
Unable to send email using PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.
so what is problem there?
please help me to solve
First make sure you already done the proper localhost configuration for sending emails.
Then in your controller you load the email library by setting the appropriate credentials and port number. Like so:
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'your_gmail_name#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => 'your_pass',
//'mailtype' => 'html',
// 'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
// 'wordwrap' => TRUE
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
i got answer
there is missing a ssl:// in config
but after writing following
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://xyz.com';
mail is send successfully...

//$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'YOURPASSWORDHERE';
$config['smtp_port'] = 465;
$config['smtp_timeout'] = 5;
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['wrapchars'] = 76;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['validate'] = FALSE;
$config['priority'] = 3;
$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
$config['bcc_batch_mode'] = FALSE;
$config['bcc_batch_size'] = 200;
Then, in one of the controller methods I have something like:
$this->load->library('email'); // Note: no $config param needed
$this->email->from('YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com', 'YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com');
$this->email->to('SOMEEMAILHERE#gmail.com');
$this->email->subject('Test email from CI and Gmail');
$this->email->message('This is a test.');
$this->email->send();
Also, as Cerebro wrote, I had to uncomment out this line in my php.ini file and restart PHP:
extension=php_openssl.dll
You need to enable SSL in your PHP config. Load up php.ini and find a line with the following:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
Uncomment it. :D
(by removing the semicolon from the statement)
extension=php_openssl.dll
Change it to the following:
$ci = get_instance();
$ci->load->library('email');
$config['protocol'] = "smtp";
$config['smtp_host'] = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$config['smtp_port'] = "465";
$config['smtp_user'] = "blablabla#gmail.com";
$config['smtp_pass'] = "yourpassword";
$config['charset'] = "utf-8";
$config['mailtype'] = "html";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
$ci->email->initialize($config);
$ci->email->from('blablabla#gmail.com', 'Blabla');
$list = array('xxx#gmail.com');
$ci->email->to($list);
$this->email->reply_to('my-email#gmail.com', 'Explendid Videos');
$ci->email->subject('This is an email test');
$ci->email->message('It is working. Great!');
$ci->email->send();
send html email via codeiginater
$this->load->library('email');
$this->load->library('parser');
$this->email->clear();
$config['mailtype'] = "html";
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('email#example.com', 'Website');
$list = array('xxxxxxxx#archmage.lk', 'xxxxx#gmail.com');
$this->email->to($list);
$data = array();
$htmlMessage = $this->parser->parse('messages/email', $data, true);
$this->email->subject('This is an email test');
$this->email->message($htmlMessage);
if ($this->email->send()) {
echo 'Your email was sent, thanks chamil.';
} else {
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
Another option I have working, in a linux server with Postfix:
First, configure CI email to use your server's email system: eg, in email.php, for example
# alias to postfix in a typical Postfix server
$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
Then configure your postfix to relay the mail to google (perhaps depending on the sender address). You'll probably need to put you user-password settings in /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
(docs)
This is much simpler (and less fragmente) if you have a linux box, already configured to send some/all of its outgoing emails to Google.
Perhaps your hosting server and email server are located at same place and you don't need to go for smtp authentication. Just keep every thing default like:
$config = array(
'protocol' => '',
'smtp_host' => '',
'smtp_port' => '',
'smtp_user' => 'yourname#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => '**********'
);
or
$config['protocol'] = '';
$config['smtp_host'] = '';
$config['smtp_port'] = ;
$config['smtp_user'] = 'yourname#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'password';
it works for me.
It can be this:
If you are using cpanel for your website smtp restrictions are problem
and cause this error. SMTP Restrictions
Error while sending an email with CodeIgniter
There is very simple answer to this . and the only solution that worked at the en was this configuration ..i only had to chnage the port to 587 and overwrite the codeignitor default "Email.php"
$config = array( 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 'smtp_port' => 587, 'smtp_user' => 'admin#cafeadmin.com.au', 'smtp_pass' => '1800#Footscray123!' );$this->load->library('email', $config);$this->email->initialize($config);
