Gmail smtp authentication

[janko216]

I'm using a code (see below) to send emails via Gmail smtp servers. Today it suddenly stopped working... Does anybody know about any changes in Google's settings? What's wrong? Thank you for comments!

require_once 'swift/lib/swift_required.php';

// Mail Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('ssl://smtp.gmail.com', 465)
->setUsername('xxxx') // Your Gmail Username
->setPassword('xxxx'); // Your Gmail Password

// Mailer
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

// Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('xxxxxx')
->setFrom(array('xxxx' => 'xxxx')) // can be $_POST['email'] etc...
->setTo(array($to => $data['jmeno'])) // your email / multiple supported.
->setBody($message, 'text/html');

// Send the message
if ($mailer->send($message)) {
$url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; // right back to the referrer page from where you came.
echo '';
} else {
echo 'I am sure, your configuration are not correct. :(';
}

@janko216 - I don't use GMail, but I would perhaps try to remove the ssl:// from the host and set as ssl for the third parameter in newInstance(). Also try tls as the third parameter. Make sure that your phpinfo() has a Registered Stream Socket Transports readout that includes ssl and tls. Updating to the latest OpenSSL would also be wise as Google is starting to get picky about connecting via old encryption suites.

Thank you for comments. It was caused by some troubles on Google servers :) Now, it works great (the same code).
