Using Gmail SMTP to send email with PHP

Use this class: http://www.phpclasses.org/package/14-PHP-Sends-e-mail-messages-via-SMTP-protocol.html

The sample code I use:

require("smtp/smtp.php");
require("sasl/sasl.php");
$from = 'youraddress@gmail.com';
$to = 'some@email.com';

$smtp=new smtp_class;
$smtp->host_name="smtp.gmail.com";
$smtp->host_port='465';
$smtp->user='youraddress@gmail.com';
$smtp->password='XXXXXXXXX';
$smtp->ssl=1;
$smtp->debug=1;       //0 here in production
$smtp->html_debug=1; //same

$smtp->SendMessage($from,array($to),array(
"From: $from",
"To: $to",
"Subject: Testing Manuel Lemos' SMTP class",
"Date: ".strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z")
),
"Hello $to,\n\nIt is just to let you know that your SMTP class is working just fine.\n\nBye.\n"));

Probably you didn't allow for less secured apps in Gmail account security dashboard.

Need help sending email in PHP using Gmail SMTP

as per Gmail policy, You cannot use plain password (house22), you have to use encrypted password(Gh45515HGGujKkkHk5554), for that you need two way authentication should be enable on your gmail account. and after that, create Application Specific Password and then use that password for your SMTP, I hope that will work for you. here is the link1 Link2

Unable to send email using Gmail SMTP server through PHPMailer, getting error: SMTP AUTH is required for message submission on port 587. How to fix?

$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "email@gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->SetFrom("example@gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("email@gmail.com");

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

This code above has been tested and worked for me.

It could be that you needed $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';

Also make sure you don't have two step verification switched on for that account as that can cause problems also.

UPDATED

You could try changing $mail->SMTP to:

$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';

It's worth noting that some SMTP servers block connections.
Some SMTP servers don't support SSL (or TLS) connections.
