Mail is not sending in php

I have followed one tutorial to send mail from php.

 public function send_credentials($beneficiary_user){

  $this->load->library(‘email’);
  $email_config = Array(
        'protocol'  => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
        'smtp_port' => '465',
        'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
        'smtp_pass' => 'apptesting',
        'mailtype'  => 'html',
        'starttls'  => true,
        'newline'   => "\r\n"
    );
    $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'invoice');
    $this->email->to('[email protected]');
    $this->email->subject('Invoice');
    $this->email->message('Test');

    $this->email->send();

}

What are the other settings i have to do to make it working *After running echo $this->email->print_debugger();. I got*

you may try this

  1. Open system/libraries/email.php

  2. Edit

    var $newline = "\n"; var $crlf = "\n";

    to

    var $newline = "\r\n"; var $crlf = "\r\n";

Just add this in start of the function where you are writing send email code 

$config = Array(
          'protocol' => 'sendmail',
          'mailtype' => 'html', 
          'charset' => 'utf-8',
          'wordwrap' => TRUE

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

Email will forward but error same error will show

Since we found the answer to your issue in the comments, it seemed prudent to write up an answer.

The problem was that your weren't doing anything with your email configuration array ($email_config). While you may or may not have had the right settings defined there, they meant nothing as they were not used properly.

Thus, at the very least, you must change your code to reflect the following changes:

$email_config = Array(
    'protocol'  => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => '465',
    'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
    'smtp_pass' => 'apptesting',
    'mailtype'  => 'html',
    'starttls'  => true,
    'newline'   => "\r\n"
);

$this->load->library('email', $email_config);

Please note that this will merely fix the issue with your approach, I cannot verify the credibility of your settings/access credentials.

EDIT:

As per jtheman's suggestion I decided to dig a bit deeper. You may want to look at this https://stackoverflow.com/a/17274496/2788532.

EDIT #2:

You can access useful error messages from CI's email class by using the following code (after you attempt to send an email, of course):

<?php echo $this->email->print_debugger(); ?>
