PHP SMTP Mail script not working

I'm coding a php smtp mail script to send a mail to my users when they lose their password. However it's not working.

The processor always returns:

Message could not be sent...

I've tried it with Gmail smtp and I'm getting the same results.

Can you help? There are two files, the form, and the processor.

Below are the codes:

form:

<html>
<head>
<meta name = 'viewport' content = 'width = device-width, initial-scale = 1.0, maximum-scale = 4.0, user-scalable = yes'>
<link rel = 'stylesheet' href = 'style.css' type = 'text/css'>
<title>Reset Password</title>
</head>
<?php
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=host;dbname=db;charset=utf8', 'user', 'pass');
$sql = $db->query('select id from posts order by id desc');
$row = $sql->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo "<a href = 'browse.php?page=".$row['id']."'>Browse</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href = 'index.php'>Home</a>";
echo "<hr>";
echo '<form name = "forgot-pass" action = "reset-pass-notif.php" method = "post">
<label><em>Input your registered email address</em></label><br>
<input type = "text" name = "email"><br>
<em>Enter Image Text:</em><img src="captcha.php" /><br />
<input name="captcha" type="text" /><br>
<input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "Send Reset-Password Link">
</form>
<hr>
<a href = "browse.php?page='.$row["id"].'">Browse</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href = "index.php">Home</a>';
?>

</html>

processor:

<html>
<head>
<meta name = 'viewport' content = 'width = device-width, initial-scale = 1.0, maximum-scale = 4.0, user-scalable = yes'>
<link rel = 'stylesheet' href = 'style.css' type = 'text/css'>
<title>Reset Password Notification</title>
</head>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=host;dbname=db;charset=utf8', 'user', 'pass');
$sql0 = $db->query('select id from posts order by id desc limit 1');
$row0 = $sql0->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo '<a href = "browse.php?page='.$row0['id'].'">Browse</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href = "index.php">Home</a>';
echo '<hr>';
$email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
$sql = $db->prepare('select * from users where email = :email');
$sql->bindParam(':email', $email);
$sql->execute();
$sql->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$row = $sql->fetch();
$username = $row['username'];
$user_check = $row['user_hash'];
$subject = 'Reset your Password';
$link = '<a href = "http://example.com/reset-pass-land.php?username='.$row['username'].'&user_check='.$row['user_hash'].'">http://bquotes.xyz/reset-pass-land.php?username='.$row['username'].'&user_check='.$row['user_hash'].'</a>';
$message = 'Reset your password here: '.$link.' If you cannot click on the link, copy it and paste in your browser address bar';
$sql = $db->prepare('select email from users where email = :email');
$sql->bindParam(':email', $email);
$sql->execute();
$sql->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$row = $sql->fetch();

Please use this code .make sure you have given permission in Mail account from you want to send mail.

        $mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
        $mail->SMTPDebug = false;                                 
        $mail->isSMTP();                                      
        $mail->Host = 'smtp.live.com';                         
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               
        $mail->Username = '[email protected]';                 
        $mail->Password = 'Password';                           
        $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            
        $mail->Port = 587;                                    
        $mail->setFrom($details['from'], $details['from']);
        if(is_array($details['to'])){
            foreach ($details['to'] as $key => $value) {
                $mail->addAddress($value['email'], $value['name']);
            }
        }else{
            $mail->addAddress($details['to'], isset($details['name'])?:$details['to']);
        }

        $mail->isHTML(true);
        $mail->Subject =$details['subject'];
        $mail->Body    =$details['body'];
        $mail->send();

Are you running this on localhost? Try Putting off your antivirus for some time. Antivirus tends to block email sending from localhost at times

The correct setting for PHPMailer:

<?php

			$mail = new PHPMailer;
			$mail->IsSMTP();
			$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
			$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
			$mail->Password = "xxxx";
			$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";  
			$mail->Host = "smtp.domain.com";
			$mail->Port = "465";
			$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'John Doe');
			$mail->addReplyTo('[email protected]', 'John Doe');
			$mail->AddAddress("[email protected]", "Jane Smith");
			$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
			$mail->IsHTML(true);
			$mail->Subject = 'Bla bla or from DB';
			$mail->Body    = 'Here come the content...';
			if (!$mail->send()) {
				echo 'Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
				exit;
			}

?>
