fsockopen() error about sending mail in php
I want to send a confirmation e-mail to user when the user has registered. I am using xampp. When I run my php file, it returns the following error:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in C:\xampp\htdocs\class.smtp.php on line 122
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in C:\xampp\htdocs\class.smtp.php on line 122
Message has not been sent.
Related part in my php file :
try
{
require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Mailer = "smtp";
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->CharSet="utf-8";
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->From = "[email protected]";
$mail->FromName="DBE Yazılım";
$mail->AddAddress($_POST['UserMail']);
$mail->Subject = "Registration Information";
$mail->Body = "Hello your password is " . $userpass;
//$mail->AddAttachment($path);
$mail->Send();
if($mail->Send())
echo 'Message has been sent.';
else
echo 'Message has not been sent.';
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo 'hata'.$e->getMessage();
}
I have looked at forums and this error is generally about ssl. They say that extension=php_openssl.dll must add into php.ini. I added this part but anything did not change. Is this about xampp?
Thanks in advance.
Answer
As you can see in the error message
unable to connect to ssl://ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in C:\xampp\htdocs\class.smtp.php on line 122
there is one ssl:// too much
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // instead of ssl://smtp.gmail.com
Usually if you see the term "host", this really means "host" and not an url
