When I am sending via Gmail using phpmailer, the email is taking a long time to send and also sometimes it is not going. I am using XAMPP as localhost.
Here is my Code:
if($_POST['submit']{
/*MAIL PART BEGINS*/
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
error_reporting(E_STRICT);
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 = "Your Password has been generated.<p />";
$body .="New Password = '$password'<p />";
$body .="Please Login with your Employee ID and this password and you can change the password at any time.";
//$body .="Amount Requested = '$amount'<p />";
//$body .="Amount Sanctioned = '$amount_sanctioned'<p />";
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "stmp.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 = "my_username@gmail.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "******"; // GMAIL password
$mail->SetFrom('my_username@gmail.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddReplyTo("my_username@gmail.com","First Last");
$mail->Subject = "Change Password";
//$mail->AltBody = "Hello...!!!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$address = "$email";
//$address1 = "my_username@gmail@hotmail.com";
//$address2 = "my_username@gmail@rediffmail.com";
//$address3 = "my_username@gmail@iicb.res.in";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "First Last");
//$mail->AddAddress($address1, "First Last");
//$mail->AddAddress($address2, "First Last");
//$mail->AddAddress($address3, "First Last");
//$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment
//$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
//MAIL PART ENDS*/
}
