    <p>So I've been scouring the web on this issue, and almost every example was condemned as a firewall or server related problem. From what I can tell, my server is connecting just fine to gmail, but PHPMailer still fails to connect. Here is my PHP:</p> <pre><code>require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php"); $host = "smtp.gmail.com"; $port = "587"; $checkconn = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 5); if(!$checkconn){ echo "($errno) $errstr"; } else { echo 'Connected through fsocketopen.&lt;br /&gt;'; } $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail-&gt;IsSMTP(); $mail-&gt;Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; $mail-&gt;SMTPAuth = true; $mail-&gt;SMTPSecure = "ssl"; $mail-&gt;Username = "myemail@gmail.com"; $mail-&gt;Password = "********"; $mail-&gt;Port = "587"; </code></pre> <p>The credentials are not shown, but are 100% correct. Here are the results:</p> <blockquote> <p>Connected through fsocketopen.<br />Mailer Error: SMTP Connect() failed.</p> </blockquote> <p>As you can see, the server is allowing a connection to gmail through fsocketopen, but PHPMailer will not connect. I've even accessed my server through SSH, and received the following response:</p> <blockquote> <p>-bash-4.1$ telnet smtp.gmail.com 587 Trying 2607:f8b0:400d:c02::6d... Connected to smtp.gmail.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mx.google.com ESMTP g1sm52568728qec.9 - gsmtp</p> </blockquote> <p>So two tests verify connection between my server and Gmail is available. So now I'm left to assume that there is a problem with my PHPMailer. I've scanned through the class.phpmailer.php file, but I just don't know enough about it to see where there would be a problem. Any help is appreciated!</p>

    2. COI have read that already. The primary solution in that example was making sure extension=php_openssl.dll was active in the php.ini file. This has been done. Again, the server itself is not having a problem connecting, just PHPMailer.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
