Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page : #

I am trying to send an email via GMail’s SMTP server from a PHP page, but I get this error:

authentication failure [SMTP: SMTP server does no support authentication (code: 250, response: mx.google.com at your service, [98.117.99.235] SIZE 35651584 8BITMIME STARTTLS ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES PIPELINING)]

Can anyone help? Here is the code:

<?php
require_once “Mail.php”;

$from = “Sandra Sender <sender@example.com>”;
$to = “Ramona Recipient <ramona@microsoft.com>”;
$subject = “Hi!”;
$body = “Hi,\n\nHow are you?”;

$host = “smtp.gmail.com”;
$port = “587”;
$username = “testtest@gmail.com”;
$password = “testtest”;

$headers = array (‘From’ => $from,
‘To’ => $to,
‘Subject’ => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory(‘smtp’,
array (‘host’ => $host,
‘port’ => $port,
‘auth’ => true,
‘username’ => $username,
‘password’ => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo(“<p>” . $mail->getMessage() . “</p>”);
} else {
echo(“<p>Message successfully sent!</p>”);
}
?>

Here is Some Solutions :

Solution 1: #

// Pear Mail Library
require_once “Mail.php”;

$from = ‘<fromaddress@gmail.com>’;
$to = ‘<toaddress@yahoo.com>’;
$subject = ‘Hi!’;
$body = “Hi,\n\nHow are you?”;

$headers = array(
‘From’ => $from,
‘To’ => $to,
‘Subject’ => $subject
);

$smtp = Mail::factory(‘smtp’, array(
‘host’ => ‘ssl://smtp.gmail.com’,
‘port’ => ‘465’,
‘auth’ => true,
‘username’ => ‘johndoe@gmail.com’,
‘password’ => ‘passwordxxx’
));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo(‘<p>’ . $mail->getMessage() . ‘</p>’);
} else {
echo(‘<p>Message successfully sent!</p>’);
}

Solution 2: #

<?php
require_once ‘swift/lib/swift_required.php’;

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance(‘smtp.gmail.com’, 465, “ssl”)
->setUsername(‘GMAIL_USERNAME’)
->setPassword(‘GMAIL_PASSWORD’);

$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance(‘Test Subject’)
->setFrom(array(‘abc@example.com’ => ‘ABC’))
->setTo(array(‘xyz@test.com’))
->setBody(‘This is a test mail.’);

$result = $mailer->send($message);
?>

Solution 3: #

// Swift Mailer Library
require_once ‘../path/to/lib/swift_required.php’;

// Mail Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance(‘ssl://smtp.gmail.com’, 465)
->setUsername(‘username@gmail.com’) // Your Gmail Username
->setPassword(‘my_secure_gmail_password’); // Your Gmail Password

// Mailer
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

// Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance(‘Wonderful Subject Here’)
->setFrom(array(‘sender@example.com’ => ‘Sender Name’)) // can be $_POST[’email’] etc…
->setTo(array(‘receiver@example.com’ => ‘Receiver Name’)) // your email / multiple supported.
->setBody(‘Here is the <strong>message</strong> itself. It can be text or <h1>HTML</h1>.’, ‘text/html’);

// Send the message
if ($mailer->send($message)) {
echo ‘Mail sent successfully.’;
} else {
echo ‘I am sure, your configuration are not correct. :(‘;
}

Solution 4: #

<?php
date_default_timezone_set(‘America/Toronto’);

require_once(‘class.phpmailer.php’);
//include(“class.smtp.php”); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$body = “gdssdh”;
//$body = eregi_replace(“[\]”,”,$body);

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
//$mail->Host = “ssl://smtp.gmail.com”; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = “ssl”; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = “smtp.gmail.com”; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = “user@gmail.com”; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = “password”; // GMAIL password

$mail->SetFrom(‘contact@prsps.in’, ‘PRSPS’);

//$mail->AddReplyTo(“user2@gmail.com’, ‘First Last”);

$mail->Subject = “PRSPS password”;

//$mail->AltBody = “To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!”; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$address = “user2@yahoo.co.in”;
$mail->AddAddress($address, “user2”);

//$mail->AddAttachment(“images/phpmailer.gif”); // attachment
//$mail->AddAttachment(“images/phpmailer_mini.gif”); // attachment

if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo “Mailer Error: ” . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo “Message sent!”;
}

?>
