<?php
class Email extends Controller {

    function Email()
    {
        parent::Controller();   
        $this->load->library('email');
    }

    function index()
    {
        $config['protocol']    = 'smtp';
        $config['smtp_host']    = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com';
        $config['smtp_port']    = '465';
        $config['smtp_timeout'] = '7';
        $config['smtp_user']    = 'mygmail@gmail.com';
        $config['smtp_pass']    = '*******';
        $config['charset']    = 'utf-8';
        $config['newline']    = "\r\n";
        $config['mailtype'] = 'text'; // or html
        $config['validation'] = TRUE; // bool whether to validate email or not      

        $this->email->initialize($config);

        $this->email->from('mygmail@gmail.com', 'myname');
        $this->email->to('target@gmail.com'); 

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

        $this->email->send();

        echo $this->email->print_debugger();

        $this->load->view('email_view');
    }
}

I am getting this error:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Connection timed out)
Filename: libraries/Email.php
Line Number: 1641

Using PORT 25/587

I got this error:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:140770FC:SSL routines:func(119):reason(252)

I don't want to use phpmailer now. (Actually I have tried to use phpmailer, but I failed).

How do I solve this problem guys?

There is very simple answer to this . and the only solution that worked at the en was this configuration ..i only had to chnage the port to 587 and overwrite the codeignitor default "Email.php"

$config = array( 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 'smtp_port' => 587, 'smtp_user' => 'admin@cafeadmin.com.au', 'smtp_pass' => '1800@Footscray123!' );$this->load->library('email', $config);$this->email->initialize($config);
