doesn't send email with gmail smtp through fsockopen()

[RieqyNS13]

When I try send email with PHPMailer_v5.1, it works. But when I try make it self, I know that the result is possible to error or email not sent. My problem is the email not sent. this my code:

<?php
$fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", 465, $errNo, $errStr, 15);
if(!$fp){
    echo "not connected";
}else{
    fputs($fp, "EHLO"."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "AUTH LOGIN"."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, base64_encode("author@gmail.com")."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, base64_encode("password")."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "MAIL FROM:<author@gmail.com>"."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "RCPT TO:<target@gmail.com>"."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "DATA"."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "Subject: This is subject"."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "This is body message"."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "."."\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "QUIT"."\r\n");
    fclose($fp);
}
?>

And I have enable extension=php_openssl.dll in php.ini

You have to concatenate your string, something like:

<?php
$fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", 465, $errNo, $errStr, 15);

$str = fputs($fp, "EHLO"."\r\n");
$str .= fputs($fp, "AUTH LOGIN"."\r\n");
$str .= fputs($fp, base64_encode("author@gmail.com")."\r\n");
$str .= etc......
echo fputs($fp,$str);
fclose($fp);

Or.....much better, create the string and pass it as a second parameter to fputs()

I've tried your solution, but the email still not sent

here :

<?php
$fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", 465, $errNo, $errStr, 15);
if(!$fp){
	echo "not connected";
}else{
	$str = fputs($fp, "EHLO"."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "STARTTLS"."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "AUTH LOGIN"."\r\n");
	$str .= fputs($fp, base64_encode("author@gmail.com")."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, base64_encode("password")."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "MAIL FROM:<author@gmail.com>"."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "RCPT TO:<target@gmail.com>"."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "DATA"."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "Subject: This is subject"."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "This is body message"."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "."."\r\n")."\n";
	$str .= fputs($fp, "QUIT"."\r\n")."\n";
	echo fputs($fp, $str);
	fclose($fp);
}
?>

and I have checked the spam folder, but it empty

Turn on error_reporting and try something like that:

$fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", 465, $errNo, $errStr, 15);

$str = "EHLO \r\n
       AUTH LOGIN \r\n
       ";
$str .= base64_encode("author@gmail.com")."\r\n";

$str .= base64_encode("password")."\r\n";

$str .= "etc......";

fputs($fp,$str);

fclose($fp);

Are you sure that your email header format is correct, too?

thanks for your reply.

but last minute I've add delay after every fputs() execution, and it works

so, the code like this:

$fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", 465, $errNo, $errStr, 15);
if(!$fp){
	echo "not connected";
}else{
	fputs($fp, "EHLO"."\r\n");
	Sleep(2);
	fputs($fp, "AUTH LOGIN"."\r\n");
	Sleep(2);
	fputs($fp, base64_encode("target@gmail.com")."\r\n");
	Sleep(2);
        etc.....

He-he, I was completely forgot about that

 

I'm using openssl on my RedHat server but in Bash language.

 

Good job
