<table>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
";
// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

  1. require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';

    //Create the Transport $transport =
Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.example.org', 25)  
->setUsername('your username')   ->setPassword('your password');

//Sendmail $transport =
Swift_SendmailTransport::newInstance('/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs');

//Create the Mailer using your created Transport $mailer =
Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

//Create a message $message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Wonderful
Subject')   ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'John Doe'))  
->setTo(array('[email protected]', '[email protected]' => 'A name'))   ->setBody('Here is the message itself');

//Send the message $result = $mailer->send($message);

Use the feature-rich SwiftMailer and your settings should be like this:

username:google email addres
password: your google password
smtp: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587

Here is how you can set your credentials and send the email.

require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';

//Create the Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.example.org', 25)
  ->setUsername('your username')
  ->setPassword('your password');

//Sendmail
$transport = Swift_SendmailTransport::newInstance('/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs');

//Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

//Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Wonderful Subject')
  ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'John Doe'))
  ->setTo(array('[email protected]', '[email protected]' => 'A name'))
  ->setBody('Here is the message itself');

//Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);

You seem to be using the wrong port number forsmtp_port: when looking at the GMail settings, it looks like you'd need port 587 or 465. (Depending whether you want to use TLS or SSL encryption)

Furthermore I do not know whether PHP support SSL and/or TLS. If not you need to use an additional PHP library in order to be able to connection to the Google mail server.
