Codeigniter SMTP Email Error
codeigniter, email, php, smtp, zoho
Solution
For SSL add `ssl://` to Your SMTP host address
$config['smtp_host'] = "ssl://smtp.zoho.com";
Problem
I can't get my emails to send when using SMTP with my codeigniter app. There are many similar questions on SO, but none that solve my problem so that's why I'm asking again. Here's the error i'm getting: ``` hello: The following SMTP error was encountered: Failed to send AUTH LOGIN command. Error: from: The following SMTP error was encountered: to: The following SMTP error was encountered: data: The following SMTP error was encountered: The following SMTP error was encountered: Unable to send email using PHP SMTP.
