Sending Email via GMail With PHPMailer

The PHPMailer library is quite complete and very commonly used among PHP developers. So the tip is how to configure it to send emails using GMail's SMTP.

require_once 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
    
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587; 
$mail->Username = "envio@email.com.br";  
$mail->Password = "********";           
$mail->SetFrom("envio@email.com.br", "CronJob");
$mail->Subject = "Uma excecao ocorreu.";
$mail->Body = $text;
$mail->AddAddress($to);
if(!$mail->Send()) {
    echo 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo; 
    return false;
} else {
    echo 'Message sent!';
    return true;
}
