Gmail SMTP server requires establishing TLS secure connections to port
995, which is something the mail function does not support.

You can try using the smtp_mail() function which is a replacement for
the mail() function that can be configured to route messages via the
Gmail SMTP server:

You also need this other class to deliver the messages

and this for authenticating:
