I am trying to create an email notification system with CI. The problem is the system on which I am working on has blocked gmail. So, i am unable to use the gmail SMTP. Now, I have to figure out a way to send emails with hotmail or any other SMTP services. Here is my code which worked for gmail but now for hotmail config/Email.php:
$config = array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.live.com',
'smtp_port' => 587,
'smtp_user' => 'muttalebr@hotmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => 'XXXXXX',
'charset' => 'utf-8',
'newline' => "\r\n",
'crlf' => "\r\n",
'mailtype' => "html",
);
the actual function that calls the email.php and send the email:
function sends($from,$to,$send,$user){
$link=base_url()."index.php/anonymouscoll/cmembersarea/".$user;
$emailmessage="Hello $to,<br />You have a new Gift from $from.<br />Click on the link:<a href=$link>$link</a> to check your gift.<br /><br /><br />Best Regards<br />Online Communication.";
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from('muttalebr@hotmail.com','Gift File');
$this->email->to($send);
$this->email->subject('You have a new Gift');
$this->email->message($emailmessage);
if($this->email->send()){
echo "Email sent";
}
else{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
Each time i call the ‘sends’ function i get the below error:
Severity: Warning
Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
Filename: libraries/Email.php
Line Number: 1673
and
Severity: Warning
Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: Failed to enable crypto
Filename: libraries/Email.php
Line Number: 1673
I have also tried with
‘smtp_host’ => ‘sslv2://smtp.live.com’,
but it just wont work on my local machine. I am using windows 7 on my local machine and windows Xp for the system I will use the application[the one which blocked gmail]. I tried with both XAMPP ver 1.8.1 and WAMPP ver 2.2
Looking forward for your responses
