OpenSSL connection Error called stream_socket_enable_crypto()

Question

in my php coding i have following line which uses by SWIFT MAILER Class

if(!stream_socket_enable_crypto($this->smtp_conn, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT)) {

  return false;

}

however rarely (not always) i get following php error

stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

i am not sure where the problem is or should i ignore this as this happens only once in a while

Solution

I had the same error.

stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

It was caused by incorrect SMTP settings. I had:

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('mail.myserver.com', 465, 'tls');

and as soon as I corrected it to

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('mail.myserver.com', 465, 'ssl');

it worked normally. Quite a non-intuitive error message but I got there in the end.

I'm using PHP Version 5.3.6-8ubuntu0ppa5~lucid1 with the PHPMailer class and I see the same error.

i change SMTPSecure tls to ssl, and Port 586 to 465, and working now.
