Send email using Gmail SMTP CodeIgniter

Question

I want to send email using Google mail SMTP by CodeIgniter...

            $config = Array(
                'protocol' => 'smtp',
                'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
                'smtp_port' => 465,
                'smtp_user' => 'abdikurniawan060395@gmail.com',
                'smtp_pass' => 'xxx', //sengaja disembunyi
                'mailtype'  => 'html', 
                'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
            );
            $this->load->library('email', $config);
            $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

            $this->email->from('abdikurniawan060395@gmail.com', 'Abdi Kurniawan');
            $this->email->to('juventini.parepare@gmail.com'); 

            $this->email->subject('Email Test');
            $this->email->message('Testing the email class.');  

            $this->email->send();

I try the code above in local, it works.. but, when I try it in my VPS, it shows an error like this:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp.googlemail.com:465 (Connection timed out)

Filename: libraries/Email.php

so what if you doing in local host then update your php.ini and then restart server or on live you can edit it using ssh command line from the terminal. — Ritesh Khatri, Oct 26 '17 at 05:32
