Strange behaviour – it just stopped working 10 days ago and after a long search found a solution in specifying additional parameters in SSL connection, so working example should be like this:
try
{
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->SMTPOptions = array
(
'ssl' => array
(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = GOOGLE_SMTP_USERNAME;
$mail->Password = GOOGLE_SMTP_PASSWORD;
$mail->SetFrom(SMTP_USERNAME);
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress(YOUR_RECEIVING_EMAIL);
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
}
catch (phpmailerException $e)
{
$errors[] = $e->errorMessage();
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
$errors[] = $e->getMessage();
}
