and my function to send mail in my controller is

$hasher = new DefaultPasswordHasher();

$user->token = $mytoken;

$user->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

}else{
    $this->Flash->set('Register failed, Please Try Again',['element'=>'error']);

getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known means that it failed to look up the IP address associated with a host name. This points immediately at the server name you’ve used, which is stmp instead of smtp.
