PHPMailer send email issues

[weirdeagle]

I have an email class to send confirmation email after sign up
here is my construct function:
public function __construct() {

    //Server settings
    $this->objMailer = new PHPMailer(true);
    
    $this->objMailer->SMTPDebug = 2;
    $this->objMailer->isSMTP();
    $this->objMailer->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    $this->objMailer->SMTPAuth = true;
    $this->objMailer->Username = "

    $this->objMailer = new PHPMailer(true);
    
    $this->objMailer->SMTPDebug = 2;
    $this->objMailer->isSMTP();
    $this->objMailer->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    $this->objMailer->SMTPAuth = true;
    $this->objMailer->Username = "myemail";
    $this->objMailer->Password = "mypass";
    $this->objMailer->SMTPSecure = 'tls';   
    $this->objMailer->Port = 587;
    
    
    //$this->objMailer->IsHTML(true);
    $this->objMailer->setFrom("myemail", "text");
    $this->objMailer->addReplyTo("myemail", "text");

}

I implement the other methods fine, problem is it worked before when i made test on localhost now it returns this message:

I read the troubleshooting but I still stuck, please help me with your guidance.

It looks like you have some duplicate rows in your __construct(). For example:

    $this->objMailer = new PHPMailer(true);
    $this->objMailer->SMTPDebug = 2;
    $this->objMailer->isSMTP();
    $this->objMailer->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    $this->objMailer->SMTPAuth = true;

…all appears twice. Then the row:

$this->objMailer->Username = "

…is a syntax error. I believe this might be some copy-paste problem.

Anyway, please check phpinfo(); if you have extension=php_openssl.dll enabled.

You have a TLS problem. It's likely that your server is misconfigured (e.g. lacks openssl as @NiklasBr suggested, or has out of date CA certificates). Either way, you should read the troubleshooting guide that is linked from the error message as it tells you how to diagnose and deal with issues like this.
