configuring Gmail smpt in php´

[julian_m]

Is there any way to set up the php.ini file, in order to be able to use
gmail to send mails from a local machine?

I've tryied with

SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 25

but I can't figure out where I've to write user and password data nor
the place where I've to write the SSL data which Gmail waits for...

Consider using phpMailer instead:

Not with the mail function under Linux/Unix systems.

You may want to try this MIME message class that comes with a wrapper
function named smtp_mail(). That function emulates the mail() function
but lets you send messages to a SMTP server of your choice and supports
authentication.

http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

You also need this for SMTP delivery:

http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass

and this for authentication:

I can't get logged in. I'm receiving the following message:

Must issue a STARTTLS command first;
The following From address failed: myaddress@gmail .com

Note that I already have

var $SMTPAuth = true;

Any kind of help would be apreciated

mmm, i found an article in

https://noorul.nipl-silly-url-fixme.ath.cx/wiki/WebPageMaintenance.php

"Even though phpmailer supports SMTP authentication, it lacks the
funtionality to use SSL connection. I couldn't use this class to
connect to gmail SMTP server because it requires SSL connection. The
only option left for me was to find out mail exchange servers of gmail
and interact with it. This is alright because my requirement is only to
send mail to a gmail account."

So PHPmailer can't be used to send mails trough gmail servers right?

GMail doesn't use port 25, it's something else like 236... They use the
TLS protocol to authenticate, and so you need to write code which will
authenticate you before you can send outgoing mail through them. I
looked into that once upon a time, but could not figure it all out. I
gave up in the end, so I can't help you with a solution other than
telling you that you need to look into TLS, which i'm not sure that PHP
can handle... I could be wrong. Would love to see an update from you
if you figure this one out, though :)
