email with codeigniter

cerberus478 · September 19, 2012

I?m trying to send an email using codeigniter and gmail for some reason it doesn?t work and I have checked the coding and I have researched to make sure it was right and everything does look right so I don?t know what I?ve done wrong. When I use the

$this->email->print_debugger()

I get this error

Unable to send email using PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

This is my main controller

public function signup_validation()
{
  $this->load->library('form_validation');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'required|trim|valid_email|is_unique[users.email]');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required|trim');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('cpassword', 'Confirm Password', 'required|trim|matches[password]');
  
  $this->form_validation->set_message('is_unique', "That email address already exists");
  
  if($this->form_validation->run())
  {
   //generate random key
   $key = md5(uniqid());
   
   $config = array(
         'protocol' => 'smtp',
         'mailtype' => 'html',
         'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
         'smtp_port' => 465, 
         'smtp_user' => 'something@gmail.com',
         'smtp_pass' => 'something'
         
          
   );
   
   $this->load->library('email', $config);//, $config);//, array('mailtype'=>'html'));
   
   
   $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
   
   $this->email->from('something@gmail.com', "Nicole");
   $this->email->to($this->input->post('email'));
   $this->email->subject("Confirm your account");
   
   $message = "<p>Thank you for signing up!</p>";
   $message .= "<p><a href='".base_url()."main/register_user/$key'>Click here</a>to confirm your account</p>";
   
   $this->email->message($message);
   
   if($this->email->send())
   {
    echo "The email has been sent";
   } else {
    echo "Could not send the email";
    show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
   } 
   
   
   
   //send an email to the user
   
   //add them to the temp_users db   
  } else {
   
   $this->load->view('signup');
  } 
}

and this is the signup view

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Signup Page</title>
</head>
<body>

<div id="container">
<h1>Signup</h1>

<?php

  echo form_open('main/signup_validation');
  
  echo validation_errors();
  
  echo "<p>Email"; 
  echo form_input('email', $this->input->post('email'));
  echo "</p>";
  
  echo "<p>Password";
  echo form_password('password');
  echo "</p>";
  
  echo "<p>Confirm Password";
  echo form_password('cpassword');
  echo "</p>";
  
  echo "<p>";
  echo form_submit('signup_submit', 'Sign Up!');
  echo "</p>";
  
  echo form_close();

?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Username and Password not accepted

Obviously the username and/or password is not correct, or at least not accepted. So if you're 100% sure that they are correct, by means of var_dump () or similar, then the only thing you can do is to ask Google support about why their servers aren't accepting the credentials.
