I have a problem with my code, the intension is to send an email using smtp.mandrill.com and use the alert to know when the email is sended, otherwise send another alert when fails to send the email. And I recived the alert confirming the email, but is'nt sended. If anyone knows the problem I thanks a lot your help.
This is the code.
<?php
$name = $_POST["first_name"];
$telefono = $_POST["telephone"];
$texto = $_POST["text"];
$body =
"Name: ".$name."<br>
Telephone: ".$telephone."<br>
Message: ".$text;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'PHPmailer/Exception.php';
require 'PHPmailer/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPmailer/SMTP.php';
//Create an instance; passing `true` enables exceptions
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; //"2" Enable verbose debug output. Change to "0" to hide all the letters n.n
$mail->isSMTP(); //Send using SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.mandrill.com'; //Set the SMTP server to send through
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; //Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'example#example.com'; //SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'Any API key'; //SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS; //Enable implicit TLS encryption
$mail->Port = 465;
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('example#example', 'Example');
$mail->addAddress('example#example'); //Add a recipient
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); //Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Contact';
$mail->Body = 'New message from <b>Contact</b><br><br>'.$body;
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->send();
echo '<script>
alert("The data was sent successfully.");
window.history.go(-1);
</script>';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo '<script>
alert("An error occurred while sending the data.");
window.history.go(-1);
</script>';
}
?>
Update your SMTP SECURE AND PORT TO:
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS;
$mail->Port = 587;
That solved my issues with using Mandrill with SMTP.
I'm trying to send an email every time someone inputs a form on my website but the SMTP isn't working. It keeps on showing me this error. The credentials of the email account are correct. Also, I have already tried SMTPAuth = False; but still the same result.
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// 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;
//Load Composer's autoloader

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.office365.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'TLS';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'sender#test.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'password'; // SMTP password
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('test#test.com', ' Services');
$mail->addAddress('recipient#test.com', $name); // Add a recipient
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Contact Us Message';
$mail->Body = 'Sent a message, This is the message :';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
$mail->send();
header('Location: tempage.php');
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ', $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
What is going wrong? Thanks for your help.
I'm also struggling 2 days with same issue.
After i find this solution. It's working fine.
Try this.
$mail->Host = 'smtp.office365.com';
change to
$mail->Host = 'smtp.live.com';
I wrote a PHP mailer code to send emails to multiple recipients. But unfortunately i found a drawback in script, i am fetching emails from database, lets see if it fetches 5 emails and try to send email to all of them and no.3 email is not a valid address(any reason) then my script just "exist" the function entirely by sending mail to 1-2 and showing error invalid email 3 and "exit"(not continuing further), what i want is rather to "exit" the function it should just skip that iteration statement(email) and then go on to next one like the "continue" statement. Also in code the message and subject are being sent from another page which consists of a form.
Here is the code :
<?php
// Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
// These must be at the top of your script, not inside a function
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
if(isset($_SESSION['userIs']))
{
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
//Load composer's autoloader
require './PHPMailer/vendor/autoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'trying.test.00'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'trying.test.00'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('trying.test.00#gmail.com', 'Tester');
include('./create-connection.php');
$get_list = "select name,email from signup";
$result = $conn->query($get_list) ;
if($result->num_rows>0)
{
while($row_list = $result->fetch_assoc())
{
$to = $row_list['email'];
$name = $row_list['name'];
$mail->addAddress($to,$name); // Add a recipient
}
}
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->AltBody = strip_tags($message);
if($mail->send())
{
echo '<div class=""><b>'.$to.'</b> -> Status <i class="fa fa-check"></i></div>';
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo '<div class=""><b>'.$to.'</b> -> Status <i class="fa fa-times"></i></div>';
}
$conn->close();
}
?>
You could validate the email addresses before sending.
Or better:
You could validate the email addresses before inserting in the database so you know that the database contains only valid data.
Just needed to add a validation to check if the email is valid or not without sending email inside while loop, then if email is valid process the mail else "continue" the current iteration(email) and jump to next email.
Thus after changing code ->
<?php
// Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
// These must be at the top of your script, not inside a function
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
if(isset($_SESSION['userIs']))
{
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
//Load composer's autoloader
require './PHPMailer/vendor/autoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'trying.test.00'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'trying.test.00'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('trying.test.00#gmail.com', 'Tester');
include('./create-connection.php');
$get_list = "select name,email from signup";
$result = $conn->query($get_list) ;
if($result->num_rows>0)
{
while($row_list = $result->fetch_assoc())
{
//add a validation here
if(!filter_var($row_list['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
echo "invalid email".$row_list['email'];
continue;
}
else
{
$to = $row_list['email'];
$name = $row_list['name'];
$mail->addAddress($to,$name); // Add a recipient
}
}
}
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->AltBody = strip_tags($message);
if($mail->send())
{
echo '<div class=""><b>'.$to.'</b> -> Status <i class="fa fa-check"></i></div>';
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo '<div class=""><b>'.$to.'</b> -> Status <i class="fa fa-times"></i></div>';
}
$conn->close();
}

I am having this problem for my php mailer function. I tried changing the required file but still its the same. Can anyone help me with this error.
This is my phpmailer code:
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "testnoreply#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "test";
$mail->SetFrom("testnoreply#gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Membership expire notice";
$mail->Body = "Dear ICONIS member your membership is going to expire please renew it";
$mail->AddAddress($em);
if (!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " .$mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Mail has been sent";
}
Are you sure you have both the class.phpmailer.php AND the class.smtp.php in your folder?
Try including class.smtp.php before including class.phpmailer.php, as the following:
<?php
include 'class.smtp.php';
include 'class.phpmailer.php';
// your code goes here
Then tell if you got some error.
just download all files, extract the files into a folder and include PHPMailerAutoload.php from the folder.
<?php

Fatal error: Class 'PHPMailer' not found in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\index.php on line 151
I place the PHPMailerAutoload.php in the same directory as my script.
Can someone help me with this ?
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
require("/home/site/libs/PHPMailer-master/src/PHPMailer.php");
require("/home/site/libs/PHPMailer-master/src/SMTP.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
$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 = "xxxxxx";
$mail->Password = "xxxx";
$mail->SetFrom("xxxxxx#xxxxx.com");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("xxxxxx#xxxxx.com");
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message has been sent";
}
?>
This answers in an extension to what avs099 has given above, for those who are still having problems:
1.Makesure that you have php_openssl.dll installed(else find it online and install it);
2.Go to your php.ini; find extension=php_openssl.dll enable it/uncomment
3.Go to github and downland the latetest version :6.0 at this time.
4.Extract the master copy into the path that works better for you(I recommend the same directory as the calling file)
Now copy this code into your foo-mailer.php and render it with your gmail stmp authentications.
require("/PHPMailer-master/src/PHPMailer.php");
require("/PHPMailer-master/src/SMTP.php");
require("/PHPMailer-master/src/Exception.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->CharSet="UTF-8";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->Port = 465 ; //465 or 587
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
//Authentication
$mail->Username = "foo#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "*******";
//Set Params
$mail->SetFrom("foo#gmail.com");
$mail->AddAddress("bar#gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message has been sent";
}
Disclaimer:The original owner of the code above is avs099 with just my little input.
Take note of the additional:
a) (PHPMailer\PHPMailer) namespace:needed for name conflict resolution.
b) The (require("/PHPMailer-master/src/Exception.php");):It was missing in avs099's code thus the problem encountered by aProgger,you need that line to tell the mailer class where the Exception class is located.
Doesn't sound like all the files needed to use that class are present. I would start over:
Download the package from https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer by clicking on the "Download ZIP" button on the far lower right of the page.
extract the zip file
upload the language folder, class.phpmailer.php, class.pop3.php, class.smtp.php, and PHPMailerAutoload.php all into the same directory on your server, I like to create a directory on the server called phpmailer to place all of these into.
Include the class in your PHP project: require_once('phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
As of 2021-07, and PHPMailer 6.5.0, without composer you need to do your includes in the following order:
$rdir = str_replace("\\", "/", __DIR__); //Root Dir
require $rdir.'/PHPMailer/src/Exception.php';
require $rdir.'/PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require $rdir.'/PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
You may need to tweak based on your directory structure.
The rest of the code works as expected.
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER; //Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); //Send using SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.yourserver.com'; //Set the SMTP server to send through
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; //Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'no-reply#example.com'; //SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'password'; //SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS; //Enable implicit TLS encryption
$mail->Port = 465; //TCP port to connect to; use 587 if you have set `SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS`
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('mail#example.com');
$mail->addAddress('mail#example.com', 'Joe User'); //Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('mail#example.com', 'Joe Doe'); //Name is optional
$mail->addAddress('mail#example.com', 'Optional Name'); //Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc#example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc#example.com');
//Attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); //Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); //Optional name
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); //Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
This is just namespacing. Look at the examples for reference - you need to either use the namespaced class or reference it absolutely, for example:
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
//Load composer's autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
I suggest you look into getting composer. https://getcomposer.org
Composer makes getting third-party libraries a LOT easier and using a single autoloader for all of them. It also standardizes on where all your dependencies are located, along with some automatization capabilities.
Download https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php
Delete your C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\PHPMailer\ directory.
Use composer.phar to get the phpmailer package using the command line to execute
cd C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php
php composer.phar require phpmailer/phpmailer
After it is finished it will create a C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\vendor directory along with all of the phpmailer files and generate an autoloader.
Next in your main project configuration file you need to include the autoload file.
require_once 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\vendor\autoload.php';
The vendor\autoload.php will include the information for you to use $mail = new \PHPMailer;
Additional information on the PHPMailer package can be found at https://packagist.org/packages/phpmailer/phpmailer
I was with the same problem except with a slight difference, the version of PHPMailer 6.0, by the good friend avs099 I know that the new version of PHPMailer since February 2018 does not support the autoload, and had a serious problem to instantiate the libraries with the namespace in MVC, I leave the code for those who need it.
//Controller
protected function getLibraryWNS($libreria) {
$rutaLibreria = ROOT . 'libs' . DS . $libreria . '.php';
if(is_readable($rutaLibreria)){
require_once $rutaLibreria;
echo $rutaLibreria . '<br/>';
}
else{
throw new Exception('Error de libreria');
}
}
//loginController
public function enviarEmail($email, $nombre, $asunto, $cuerpo){
//Import the PHPMailer class into the global namespace
$this->getLibraryWNS('PHPMailer');
$this->getLibraryWNS('SMTP');
//Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new \PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// $mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // 0 = off (for production use), 1 = client messages, 2 = client and server messages Godaddy POR CONFIRMAR
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
//Set the encryption system to use - ssl (deprecated) or tls
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; //Seguridad Correo Gmail
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; //Host Correo Gmail
//Set the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS, a.k.a. RFC4409 SMTP submission
$mail->Port = 465; //587;
//Verifica si el servidor acepta envios en HTML
$mail->IsHTML(true);
//Username to use for SMTP authentication - use full email address for gmail
$mail->Username = 'tumail#gmail.com';
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = 'tucontraseña';
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('tumail#gmail.com','Creador de Páginas Web');
$mail->Subject = $asunto;
$mail->Body = $cuerpo;
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress($email, $nombre);
//Send the message, check for errors
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
return false;
} else {
echo "Message has been sent";
return true;
}
Just from reading what you have written, you will need to add the file class.phpmailer.php to your directory as well.
PHPMailerAutoload needs to be in the same folder as class.phpmailer.php
This is the PHPMailerAutoload code that I assume this:
$filename = dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'class.'.strtolower($classname).'.php';
Just download composer and install phpMailler autoloader.php
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/composer.json
once composer is loaded use below code:
require_once("phpMailer/class.phpmailer.php");
require_once("phpMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->SMTPDebug = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'youremail id';
$mail->Password = 'youremail password';
$mail_from = "youremail id";
$subject = "Your Subject";
$body = "email body";
$mail_to = "receiver_email";
$mail->IsSMTP();
try {
$mail->Host= "smtp.your.com";
$mail->Port = "Your SMTP Port No";// ssl port :465,
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->AddAddress($mail_to, "receiver_name");
$mail->SetFrom($mail_from,'AmpleChat Team');
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->Send();
$emailreturn = 200;
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
$emailreturn = $e->errorMessage();
} catch (Exception $e) {
$emailreturn = $e->getMessage();
}
echo $emailreturn;
Hope this will work.
I resolved error copying the files class.phpmailer.php , class.smtp.php to the folder where the file is PHPMailerAutoload.php, of course there should be the file that we will use to send the email.
I had a number of errors similar to this. Make sure your setFrom email address is valid in $mail->setFrom()
