MVC PHPMailer flow - php

Question

I would like to use PHPMailer in my MVC site but the view content doesn't come for the $emailTemplate variable. This is my own MVC. The problem starts here:
$emailTemplate = $this->view('emails/expirityRemainder'); Could somebody tell me how to manage that change?
If I will do that everything works fine, but I need to load different views:
$emailTemplate = 'The email body';
Here is my controller:
<?php
class Emails extends Controller{
//Send email to remamber the expirity date
public function sendReinder($data){
$emailTemplate = $this->view('emails/expirityRemainder');
$data=[
'recipient'=>'anEmail#yahoo.com',
'subject'=>'TheSubject',
'htmlBody'=>$emailTemplate,
'nonHtmlBody'=>'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients',
'sentMessage'=>'Message has been sent'
];
$email = new Email();
$email->sendMail($data);
}
}
The 'expirityRemainder.php' file contains a text:
Here will be the HTML code formatted
The PHPMailer file is inside of that libraries/PHPMailer folder.
The Email class send the email (on my server the below blank details are filled):
<?php
// Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
// These must be at the top of your script, not inside a function
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'src/Exception.php';
require 'src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'src/SMTP.php';
class Email{
public function sendMail($data){
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = ''; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers smtp.topwebdeveloper.co.uk
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = ''; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = ''; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to 465 25 587
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('', '');
//$mail->addAddress('', ''); // Add a recipient
//$mail->addAddress(''); // Name is optional
$mail->addAddress($data['recipient'], 'Nameee');
$mail->addReplyTo('', 'Information');
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = $data['htmlBody'];
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
print_r($data);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ', $mail->ErrorInfo;
print_r($data);
}
}
}
?>
This is the output:
Here will be the html code formatted
Message could not be sent.
Mailer Error: Message body emptyArray ( [recipient] => anEmail#yahoo.com [subject] => TheSubject [htmlBody] => [nonHtmlBody] => This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients [sentMessage] => Message has been sent )`
I think the view content is expected to not be a string... The $data['htmlBody']inside if sendMail($data) did not receive the view content.
The view method works perfect for my MVC, except that situation when I try to load an mail text:
<?php
class Controller{
public function model($model){
require_once '../app/models/'.$model.'.php';
return new $model();
}
public function view($view, $data=[]){
if(file_exists('../app/views/'.$view.'.php')){
require_once '../app/views/'.$view.'.php';
} else {
die('vien not exists');
}
}
}
I created a new method but still not working:
<?php
public function loadEmailView($view, $data=[]){
if(file_exists('../app/views/'.$view.'.php')){
//ob_start();
//include('../app/views/'.$view.'.php');
//$file = ob_end_flush();
//echo file_get_contents('../app/views/'.$view.'.php');
//$data['htmlBody'] = require_once '../app/views/'.$view.'.php';
} else {
die('Email vien not exists');
}
}
None of the 3 above solutions not add the view content to my htmlBody variable:
<?php
class Emails extends Controller{
//Send email to remamber the expirity date
public function sendReinder($data){
$emailTemplate = $this->loadEmailView('emails/expirityRemainder');
//$emailTemplate = file_get_contents('email_template.php');
$data=[
'recipient'=>'anEmail#yahoo.com',
'subject'=>'TheSubject',
'htmlBody'=>$emailTemplate,
'nonHtmlBody'=>'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients',
'sentMessage'=>'Message has been sent'
];
$email = new Email();
$email->sendMail($data);
}
}
Thank you!
