Sending emails through SMTP with PHPMailer

Question

I\'m trying to send SMTP e-mails using PHPMailer, but I keep getting this error message, any ideas how to get rid of it?
I\'m trying to connect via SSL on port 465.

Answer 1

This may seem like a shot in the dark but make sure PHP has been complied with OpenSSL if SMTP requires SSL.

To check use phpinfo()

Hope it helps!
