getting error Could not send email in cakephp - php

Question

I've been trying to send emails with Pear on xampp through Gmail, and after spending hours setting it all up and figuring out all the errors I was getting, I thought I was so close, until I started getting this error:
controller action
public function automail() {
App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');
$ret_msg = null;
try {
$is_call_email = true;
$subject = "case detail";
$comment = "Ready to Review";
$email_to = "exmaple#gmail.com";
if ($is_call_email == true) {
$email_to = str_replace(' ', '', $email_to);
$email_addresses = preg_split('/[;,]/', $email_to);
$this->log($is_call_email,'bool');
$email = new CakeEmail();
$email->from(array($this->Session->read('Auth.User.email') => $this->Session->read('Auth.User.name')))
->to($email_addresses)
->subject($subject)
->send($comment);
$this->log($subject,'subject');
}
} catch (Exception $ex) {
$ret_msg = $ex->getMessage();
$this->log($ex->getLine(), 'emailError');
}
$this->log('Return msg is = ' . $ret_msg, 'shared');
return;
in email.php
<?php
class EmailConfig {
public $default = array(
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'username' => 'example#gmail.com', //example#gmail.com
'password' => 'secret',
'transport' => 'Smtp',
'from' => array('exampe#gmail.com' => 'Nam Email'),
'log' => true
);
}
from and to both are same email addresses because i was send in my account for testing...
please help me or any advice for how to send email using cakephp....

Answer 1

You need to specify $email->config. Like:
$email->config('default')
->from(array($this->Session->read('Auth.User.email') => $this->Session->read('Auth.User.name')))
->to($email_addresses)
->subject($subject)
->send($comment);
