Sending email using php, gmail, and swiftmailer ca

Question

Here is my PHP code:

function SendCookieToTheMail()
{
    require_once 'swift-mailer/lib/swift_required.php';
    //Create the Transport
    $transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com')
      ->setPort(465)
      ->setEncryption('ssl')
      ->setUsername('[e-mail]')
      ->setPassword('123')
      ;

    //Create the Mailer using your created Transport
    $mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

    //Create a message
    $message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Test')
      ->setFrom(array('[e-mail]' => 'From mr. 007'))
      ->setTo(array('[e-mail]', '[e-mail]' => 'To mr. 007'))
      ->setBody('Body')
      ;

    //Send the message
    $result = $mailer->send($message);

    /*
    You can alternatively use batchSend() to send the message

    $result = $mailer->batchSend($message);
    */ 
}

Here is the error:

( ! ) Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in C:\Program Files\wamp\www\swift-mailer\lib\classes\Swift\Transport\StreamBuffer.php on line 233

( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Swift_TransportException' with message 'Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? #44551400]' in C:\Program Files\wamp\www\swift-mailer\lib\classes\Swift\Transport\StreamBuffer.php on line 235

Where is the problem??

Update:

I checked phpinfo() and it says:

OpenSSL support     disabled (install ext/openssl) 

I referred to the links below, but I couldn't install ssl...

I hope that you have solved your issue, however for me line:

;extension=php_openssl.dll

did not exist in my php.ini (running XAMPP 1.7.7 on Win7), so just go ahead and add it in the extensions section, remove semicolon from it and it should work.
