Symfony Mailer trouble

Question

The code does not work(. It gives me the error

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');


require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Exception\TransportExceptionInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Transport;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Mailer;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;
$transport = Transport::fromDsn('smtp://[email protected]:[email protected]:587');

$mailer = new Mailer($transport);
$email = (new Email());
$email->from('[email protected]');

$email->to('[email protected]');

$email->subject('Some subject');
$email->text('test-message');

$mailer->send($email);

?>

Tried to 'require' files with these classes, but it did not help. Also I checked my composer.json. There was Symfony, so I`m sure, I have it installed with my composer.

The issue with the code is that the DSN (Data Source Name) specified for the Transport object is incorrect.

The correct DSN for Gmail should be
smtp://mymail%40gmail.com:[email protected]:587 (the email address in the username part of the DSN should be URL encoded). Additionally, it's not recommended to hard-code the password in the code as it can pose a security risk. Instead, the password should be stored in a secure environment variable.
