Question

I’m trying to send emails from CakePHP but without success. I’m trying with CakeEmail and this code:

$email = new CakeEmail();
$email->from(array('[e-mail]' => __('Recruitment Job App')))
      ->to('[e-mail]')
          ->subject(__('Recruitment Status Update'))
          ->send(__('Dear, ReynierPM this is a testing email'));

And doesn’t work because no emails is send. The file /app/Config/email.php have this configuration:

class EmailConfig {
   public $default = array(
    'transport' => 'Debug',
    'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
    'port' => 25,
    'timeout' => 30,
    'username' => '[e-mail]',
    'password' => 'secret_password',
    'charset' => 'utf-8',
    'headerCharset' => 'utf-8',
);  
}

I’ve try also this http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/sky_l3ppard/2009/11/07/updated-swiftmailer-4-xx-component-with-attachments-and-plugins but in this case I get this error:

Fatal error: Class ‘testemailView’ not found in /var/www/html/jobapp/app/Controller/Component/swift_mailer.php on line 245

I’m using CakePHP 2.0.6 and SwiftMailer 4.1.5, any help?
Cheers and thanks in advance

Answer 1

You are leaving out some important parts to enable email. You should have something like this:

App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');
$email = new CakeEmail('default');

Then in your email.php config, your default configuration for gmail should looke like this:

public $default = array(
    'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
    'port' => 465,
    'timeout' => 30,
    'username' => '[e-mail]',
    'password' => 'secret',
    'transport' => 'Smtp'
);
