phpmailerHow do I configure PHPMailer to use SSL?

To configure PHPMailer to use SSL, you need to set the SMTPSecure property to 'ssl' and the Port property to 465. Then, you need to call the setSMTPOptions() method to set the ssl option to true and the tls option to false. For example:

$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->setSMTPOptions(array(
    'ssl' => array(
        'verify_peer' => false,
        'verify_peer_name' => false,
        'allow_self_signed' => true
    ),
    'tls' => false
));

Additionally, you may need to set the Host property to ssl://smtp.example.com if your mail server requires it.

• SMTPSecure property to 'ssl': sets the connection to use SSL.
• Port property to 465: sets the port to use for SSL connections.
• setSMTPOptions() method: sets the ssl and tls options for the connection.
• Host property to ssl://smtp.example.com: sets the mail server to use for SSL connections.
