PHPMailer keeps returning error

Question

This is my php file:

<?php

require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;

if(isset($_POST['send'])){
date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC');
$email = $_POST['email'];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$mail -> isSMTP();
$mail->PluginDir = "/path/to/phpmailer/dir";
$mail -> SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail -> Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail -> SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail -> Port = 465;
$mail -> SMTPAuth = true;
$mail -> Username = "xxx"; //username example@gmail.com
$mail -> password = "xxx"; //password

$mail -> setFrom("autobandendiscount@gmail.com", "Anwar Elbouhdifi");
$mail -> addAddress($email, $name);



$mail -> Subject = $subject;
$mail -> Body = $message;
$mail -> AltBody = $message;

if(! $mail -> send()){
    echo"message error: " . $mail -> ErrorInfo;
}else{
    echo"Success!" ;
}

}

?>

And the mailer returns this error

2014-05-28 22:51:05 CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO localhost 2014-05-28 22:51:05 CLIENT -> SERVER: AUTH LOGIN 2014-05-28 22:51:05 CLIENT -> SERVER: YXV0b2JhbmRlbmRpc2NvdW50QGdtYWlsLmNvbQ== 2014-05-28 22:51:05 CLIENT -> SERVER: 2014-05-28 22:51:05 SMTP ERROR: Password command failed: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

I know it says username and password not accepted but I know for 100% it is the right password and username.

Answer 1

Probably not the solution but worth a try: spell Password with a big P.
