I want to make just a basic email sending script. Because I want to run it on localhost I use Gmail SMTP. I have both enabled IMAP settings and I allowed access from less secure apps. Surprisingly, I still cannot connect. Everytime I try, I get the error SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
Why is that happening? I am using this code:
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "First email";
$txt = "Do you want our service?";
//require_once('PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php');
require_once "PHPMailer\PHPMailer.php";
require_once "PHPMailer\SMTP.php";
require_once "PHPMailer\Exception.php";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->isHTML();
$mail->Username = "myemailnotimportant#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "password123";
$mail->SetFrom('myemailnotimportant#gmail.com', 'Sir Walter Scott');
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $txt;
$mail->AddAddress($to);
if ($mail->Send()) {
echo "email sent";
} else {
echo "Something is wrong: <br><br>" . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
}
?>

Which folder you exactly adding your code. As see your code

SMTP connect() failed PHPmailer - PHP
(17 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm a beginner in php so I had written code for testing which will send an email using php.
I'm using "PHPMailer-5.2.27" to sent email with SMTP on php, but when I run the code the email not sent. I don't know what is the problem. Can anyone help me out!
<?php
require 'phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "example#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "xxxxxxxx";
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Subject = "test mail";
$mail->Body = "just a test";
$mail->setFrom('example#gmail.com','aaaa');
$mail->addAddress('example#gmail.com');
if ($mail->send())
echo "mail is sent";
else
echo "something wrong ";
?>
Assuming you have allowed your Gmail account to authorize the server from where you are sending an email.
use $mail->ErrorInfo; in order to debug your issue, this will clarify what is the actual failure reason for sending an email you can refer the below code I have shared.
<?php
require "PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php";
echo !extension_loaded('openssl')?"Not Available":"Available"; //check openssl is available or not
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "mygmailaccount#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "**********";
$mail->SetFrom("example#gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("toaddress#gmail.com");
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message has been sent";
}
?>
While running the PHPMailer in localhost mail will be sending but while hosting the PHPMailer shows the error as SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting. please help me.
here is my code
<?php
//include PHPMailerAutoload.php
require 'phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'mail#gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'password';
$mail->setFrom('mail#gmail.com', 'mail');
$mail->addAddress('mail#gmail.com');
$mail->Subject = 'SMTP email test';
$mail->Body = 'Thanks for commenting';
if ($mail->send())
echo "mail is sent";
else
echo $mail->ErrorInfo;
?>
Ok let's make it clearly :
Make sure your SMTP Port code is same with SMPT port in your host
Auth to your account is not wrong
Check phpmailer class are success to call like vardump or something else
Sample of my Code :
require(https://example.com/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
require(https://example.com/class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'mail.example.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
$mail->Username = 'customer_service#example.com';
$mail->Password = 'blablabla';
$mail->From = 'customer_service#example.com';
$mail->setFrom('customer_service#example.com', 'My Cool Website');
$mail->AddAddress('recipient#destination.com', 'Recipient Full Name');
$mail->WordWrap = 70;
$mail->Subject = 'PHP Mailer';
$mail->Body = 'Awesome';
$mail->IsHTML(TRUE);
I'm trying to use PHPMailer to send e-mail from my local virtual host on XAMPP with the code below. I have enabled extension=php_openssl.dll in php.ini, still I get the error messages below. Anyone knows why?
require_once 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
require_once 'class.phpmailer.php';
require_once 'class.smtp.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = "xxx";
$mail->Password = "xxx";
$email = "xxx#gmail.com";
$name = "Test";
$email_from = "xxx#gmail.com";
$name_from = "Test";
$mail->AddAddress($email, $name);
$mail->SetFrom($email_from, $name_from);
$mail->Subject = "My Subject";
$mail->Body = "Mail contents";
try{
$mail->Send();
echo "Success!";
} catch(Exception $e){
echo "Fail - " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
Error output:
SMTP ERROR: Password command failed: 534-5.7.14
SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.
For those having issues with failing authentication using PHPMailer, and all settings and credentials are good, try using this:
$mail->AuthType = 'LOGIN';
in the PHP that is attempting to send the email.
I struggled for the longest, until I added this.
Cheers.
I'm trying to configure PHPMailer I've uploaded 1 file which is class.phpmailer.php and created another php file with this content:
<?php
require('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "myemail#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "mypassword";
$mail->SetFrom("the same email address");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("the same email address");
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
?>
and i get nothing at all not a success message nor a failure message. http://www.mawk3y.net/mailtest/test.php
all answers are outdated now. Most current version (as of Feb 2018) does not have autoload anymore, and PHPMailer should be initialized as follows:
<?php
include_once(FCPATH.'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php');
include_once(FCPATH.'PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php');
include_once(FCPATH.'PHPMailer/src/Exception.php');
$msj="My complete message";
$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
//authentication SMTP enabled
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
//indico el puerto que usa Gmail 465 or 587
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = "xxxxxx";
$mail->Password = "xxxx";
$mail->SetFrom("xxxxxx#xxxxx.com","Name");
$mail->AddReplyTo("xxx#xxx.com","Name Replay");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->MsgHTML($msj);
$mail->AddAddress("xxxxxx#xxxxx.com");
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message has been sent";
}
?>
The problem is with the require method.
You first have to extract all file of phpMailer repository.
instead of writing
require('class.phpmailer.php');
you need to include path where your PHPMailerAutoload.php file extracted.so you can replace it with.
require('path-of-extracted-folder/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
for more reference you can visit it's GitHub link
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
I had same problem but I solved.This is the way I code
<?php
require 'PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
//Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer;
// Set PHPMailer to use the sendmail transport
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'abc#gmail.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'abc'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('abc1#gmail.com', 'First Last');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('abc#gmail.com', 'Shehan');
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'Test Mail';
$mail->Body = 'This is Test Mail';
//send the message, check for errors
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
?>
