SMTP connect() failed

[hamdan-mahran]

Hello,

Thanks for this awesome plugin and for your time, but i think it will be more awesome if it's work for me :D
I trying to use it to send mails, i make all the steps, set google mail user and password ... etc
The link is http:https://www.enar.ideal-theme.com/html5/ipad/mail/sendemail.php

require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer;

$mail->isSMTP();                                      
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';  
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                              
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';                
$mail->Password = 'my-password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';                           
$mail->Port = 465; 
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;

$mail->From = '[email protected]';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
  
$mail->addReplyTo('[email protected]', 'Information');
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'Joe User');                            

$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body in bold!';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

var_dump($mail->send());

I hope to give me your feedback about it

Thanks!

Base your code on the gmail example provided and read the troubleshooting guide, exactly as the error message tells you. There are also over 800 questions on Stackoverflow on this exact subject.

Thanks very much for your reply :)
But i see this article is so complicated for me, and i don't understand, i just want to send a message, and i make all steps ( user - pass - etc )

Thanks!

What that error means is that your server cannot connect to its local network, so everything, including email, is not going to work. Fix your server and PHPMailer can work; but there's nothing that PHPMailer can do to fix your server. You might want to open a support ticket with your hosting provider.

I was having this same problem. I tried literally everything, checked everything on my server settings but still nothing.

In the end I removed this one line: $mail->isSMTP();

That fixed my SMTP connection error. Don't know why, but it works. Any ideas @Synchro ?

That's not a fix. You just turned off SMTP. Read the troubleshooting guide.
