I have created contact form with fields name,email,phone,message which saves in database.

I want the contact form to send email using phpmailer through localhost in Yii2. I tried following up the http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/zyx-phpmailer/ link still not able to send email.

Steps taken

I have downloaded phpmailer through composer.
I have set-up web.php in config folder as

‘mail’ => [

        'class'            =&gt; 'zyx&#092;phpmailer&#092;Mailer',


        'viewPath'         =&gt; 'yii2Basic',


        'useFileTransport' =&gt; false,


        'config'           =&gt; [


            'mailer'     =&gt; 'smtp',


            'host'       =&gt; 'smtp.gmail.com',


            'port'       =&gt; '587',


            'smtpsecure' =&gt; 'tsl',


            'smtpauth'   =&gt; true,


            'username'   =&gt; 'mygmail',


            'password'   =&gt; '*******',

],

],

Controller action

public function actionCreate()

{


    &#036;model = new Contact();





    if (&#036;model-&gt;load(Yii::&#036;app-&gt;request-&gt;post()) ) 


    {





          Yii::&#036;app-&gt;mail-&gt;compose()


         -&gt;setFrom(['mygmail' =&gt; 'My Example Message'])


         -&gt;setTo([&#036;model-&gt;email =&gt; &#036;model-&gt;name])


         -&gt;setSubject('test subject')


         -&gt;setTextBody(&#036;model-&gt;message)


         -&gt;send();


                   


        &#036;model-&gt;save();


        //return &#036;this-&gt;redirect(['view', 'id' =&gt; &#036;model-&gt;id]);


         return &#036;this-&gt;redirect(['index']);


   


    } else {


        return &#036;this-&gt;render('create', [


            'model' =&gt; &#036;model,


        ]);


    }


}

still the code save to my db but does not send email to gmail.

Kindly help me where I am going wrong and what should I do.
