Send Mail in a job

Question

Hi,

I work with SugarCRM pro 7.6 and I want to send a mail in one of my scheduled jobs.

I have tried to search a full example which explains how to send a mail in PHP but i can't find it.

I try the solutions in this post: https://community.sugarcrm.com/thread/28095?q=how%20to%20send%20email

But I always have errors in the log:

09/07/16 13:45:08 [7536][1][FATAL] SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server. Code: 351289610 Reply: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

09/07/16 14:54:54 [15560][1][FATAL] SugarPHPMailer encountered an error: SMTP Connect() failed.

PHPmailer is deprecated for 7.6 but I try it anyway, for this reason I want to use the REST /Mail service but I can't use it.

In the php.ini the ssl is enabled and if I try to send an email with the button 'Send test mail', I receive correctly the mail.

Please help me.

Best regards

Stefano

So several things come to mind: 1) Perhaps cron is using a different php.ini than apache (see for example this - debian - PHP cli uses different php.ini file when run by cron - Server Fault ). Make sure the path to php (and add the -c for the php file). 2) The $email->from_addr = " default@gmail.com "; is different to what you're specifying when you send a test email - are they from the same email address? 3) I can't see any of your code example that uses the REST /Mail service. Did you try to use it? Are you unsure how to? 4) Can you send emails through the Sugar email client?
