Mail not sent in php pear mail package - php

Question

I am trying to use PEAR Mail to send from my gmail address using below code,
<?php
include("Mail.php");
echo "This test mail for authentication";
try{
$from_name = "Test";
$to_name = "from name";
$subject = "hai";
$mailmsg = "Happy morning";
$From = "From: ".$from_name." <frommail#gmail.com>";
$To = "To: ".$to_name." <tomail#gmail.com>";
$recipients = "tomail#gmail.com";
$headers["From"] = $From;
$headers["To"] = $To;
$headers["Subject"] = $subject;
$headers["Reply-To"] = "gunarsekar#gmail.com";
$headers["Content-Type"] = "text/plain";
$smtpinfo["host"] = "smtp.gmail.com";
$smtpinfo["port"] = "25";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = "mymail#gmail.com";
$smtpinfo["password"] = "mypassword";
//$smtpinfo["debug"]=True;
$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo);
$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $mailmsg);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
}catch(Exception $e){
echo 'Caught exception: ', $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
echo "<br>Fin";
?>
this code not return any error or warning , it simply shows "Message successfully sent!"
but, mail not receiver to mail the address.
can any one please tell what problem in mycode or what actually happening.,

Answer 1

The first thing I see is that you have a mistake: Your check checks against an variable called $mail, but everything else refers to $mail_object. If that's in your actual code, then I'm guessing that might be part of it.
Some basic checks:
Did you check to make sure that you have POP or IMAP enabled in Gmail?
Have you set up this account with the same username and password on a normal machine, to ensure you can send and receive email outside of PHP?
Verify that you can even talk to the GMail server (that it isn't blocked for some reason) by pinging smtp.gmail.com or using telnet to open a connection to port 25: telnet smtp.gmail.com 25
Read over the Gmail help for sending email.
Beyond that, it looks like GMail requires TLS or SSL, which means you have to use port 587 or port 465. I don't know if that package can handle encrypted connections, though. (Even on port 25, GMail requires SSL encryption.) That may preclude this from working at all.
