Gmail SMTP server Fails on send using PHPMailer - php

Question

i created this PHP Class for sending emails
class Mailbox{
private $mail;
public function initialize(){
$this->mail = new PHPMailer;
$this->mail->Mailer = "smtp.gmail.com";
$this->mail->Host = "mail.****.***.*g";
$this->mail->Port = 587;
$this->mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$this->mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$this->mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$this->mail->Username = '****#******.com';
$this->mail->Password = '67******!'; // SMTP password
$this->mail->SetFrom('****#******.com', 'Federal Admin');
}
public function addSubject($sub='***** testing mail...'){
$this->mail->Subject = $sub;
$this->mail->AltBody = "...just a sample message";
}
public function addMessage($msg){
$this->mail->MsgHTML($msg);
}
public function addAddress($addr){
foreach($addr as $ad){
$this->mail->AddAddress($ad[0], $ad[1]);
}
}
public function send(){
if(!$this->mail->Send()) {
return "Mailer Error: mail not sent.." . $this->mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
return true;
}
}
}
and this is my implementation in my code...
$ar = array(
['****r#k**g.gov', 'Recruit'],
['an***i#aol.com','Officer'],
['***iii#gmail.com','Secretary']
);
$message = $msg->render(); //renders a htmlview
$m = new Mailbox;
$m->initialize();
$m->addSubject('Reports from my store Armory');
$m->addMessage($message);
$m->addAddress($ar);
if($m->send()){
echo 'messsage sent successfully';
}else{
echo 'error sending message';
}
it was working three days ago, tuesday precisely, the image below is the output from my aol mail, but just of recent, since wednesday, it hasnt been functioning properly. i didn't touch or change anything, i have been lost and going round in circles. please i need help. Does anyone know if GMail is Having any issues or is anyone experiencing the same issue as me..
Please i need help if anyone has solved this issue, my guess is that Gmail is having issues, i have changed the allow unsecured apps settings and yet i still keep getting these errors.

Answer 1

turn On Allow less secure apps.
and change:
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tsl';// Enable TLS encryption,sslalso accepted
$mail->Port = 587;
check this!
