I'm working on editing a site which has been built using some strange Smarty system, template TPL files and a load of JS and PHP.
I have a Classes in PHP files which sends and email to an array of email address from a differnt PHP file.
I'm wanted to add to this array so it sends a copy of the email to the person who filled in the form.
The array of recipents is:
//target email address settings
$this->settings['mailer_address_booknow'] = array('ADDRESS#ADDRESS.com', 'ADDRESS#ADDRESS.com', 'ADDRESS#ADDRESS.com', 'james#bernhardmedia.com');
And the sending PHP file is:
public function SendEmail( $email_address_array, $email_data, $subject, $template, &$send_message ) {
$smartyObj = Configurator::getInstance()->smarty;
$send_message = '';
$send_result = 0;
try {
$mail = new PHPMailer( true );
$mail->IsSMTP( true );
$mail->SMTPDebug = false;
$mail->IsHTML( true );
$mail->Host = Configurator::getInstance()->getSettings( "phpmailer_smtp" );
$mail->ClearAddresses();
for( $x = 0;$x < sizeof($email_address_array);$x++ ){
$mail->AddAddress( trim($email_address_array[$x]) );
}
$smartyObj->assign( 'email_data', $email_data );
$mail->SetFrom( 'info#forexchange.co.uk', 'Forexchange Currency Order');
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $smartyObj->fetch( $template );
if(!$mail->Send()) {
} else {
$send_result = 1;
}
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
$send_message = $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
$send_message = $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
}
//echo $send_result;
//exit;
return $send_result;
}
The form is on the home page of this site - http://www.forexchange.co.uk/
Please help, I'm stumped!
Smarty I think refers to the Smarty template Engine for php see here
Append the email address to the array $email_address_array
When you call the method
SendEmail( $email_address_array, $email_data, $subject, $template, &$send_message );
either append the email to that data set ($email_address_array) before you call it or append it inline ( in the call)
Can you show how you call it?
EDIT
If your data is stored in
$this->settings['mailer_address_booknow'];
add that to the call,
SendEmail( $this->settings['mailer_address_booknow'] , $email_data, $subject, $template, &$send_message );
if you need to add to that array then do this before calling it
$this->settings['mailer_address_booknow'] = "ADDED_EMAIL";

PHPMailer sends emails on one host but doesn't send on another host using exactly the same code.
I contacted the host and they sent me the following screenshot
The server protects from email, so they indicated that to send the emails from a different host or with any host, I have to use ini_set( 'sendmail_from', 'email#example.com' );. Well, that solution works fine for the normal PHP mail function, mail() but not for the PHPMailer.
Would someone help me figure out how to solve this issue on PHPMailer?
The following is my code, which has been tested on another hosting and works fine only on the current server where no email gets sent despite using ini_set()
require_once('email-sending/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php');
require_once('email-sending/PHPMailer/Exception.php');

You need to set the envelope sender, which is separate from the from address. Try this:
$mail->Sender = self::EMAIL_SENDER;
i have a basic contact form on a website. i need to send the form results to 2 email addresses... 1) me, & 2) a confirmation to the person who submitted the form. the form results sent to the submitter has a different message in it.
i plan to add jQuery validation & Ajax but first i want to get the PHP to work. so i don't think i need a lot of PHP validation, just a basic - if critical fields are empty, then error message, as a fallback.
i'm using PHPMailer but unfortunately their documentation is sorely lacking for someone of my lack-of-php skills. but after much google'ing, i've been able to piece together something that mostly works. here is my code utilizing a small form (more fields to come later).
this DOES send the form to both email addresses - great!
the part i'm having trouble with is the validation & error/success messages.
if i just use the return $mail->send(); at the end of the function sendemail section, it sends fine. but if i try to submit the form without anything in the fields, nothing happens. so i tried adding this if(!$mail->send()) {...else...} piece i found somewhere, and it also works with valid form info, but not if empty.
so, what should i use instead of this? or would it be something different to the end if/else part?

as a sidenote, why does the return 'ok'; work? what does the 'ok' part attach to?

STILL...
1) Mauro suggested i log the error message using use error_log(). how do i do that? is that what produces the text file of error messages in the ftp directory?
2) Mauro also suggested using an $error & $success flag. what is that & how do i do it?
3) i want to have the custom error message in the above catch if the "name" &/or "email" fields (& possibly others) are simply empty. Mauro wrote the function validateEmpty code above, but i can't get it to work. do i have it in the wrong placement within the script or doing something else wrong with it?
3b) it looks to me like this function is just for the "name" field, do i have to duplicate it for the "email" field?
PLEASE REMEMBER...
i want to be able to have a SIMPLE validation here as a fallback in case Javascript/Jquery isn't working for some reason.
also note that the above DOES "send" the email correctly; so am now just trying to get the validation & error message to work right.
thank you for your time & expertise!
tl;dr: both statements evaluate to true. It's better to return true or false instead of strings and handle the message later.
First I'll take care of your question, then I'll make some suggestions on good practices.
When you use return x; in PHP and most languages, you're "sending" x back to where you called the function. So, when your code is executed it will be read as:
if('ok')
or
if ('Error info...')
PHP evaluates the condition on an if statement (this is the part between parenthesis) as true or false by converting it to the boolean type. The string to boolean conversion in PHP is basically as follows: any non-empty string evaluates as TRUE (follow the link, check first table, last column).
So, your function is returning 'ok' if it succeeds, 'Error info...' if it fails, these are both non-empty strings and thereof evaluated as true, so no matter if the first email sending attempt went well, your script will try to send the second one, and will always set $msg to 'Email sent!'.
Here's some advice on how to fix your script so it works (and looks) better:
As #Matt suggested it's always best to validate the data by yourself instead of relying on PHPMailer to do so. Despite PHPMailer will return an error if the destination address is invalid, it's a good practice not to even call the library if the email is not valid. So:
First, validate the data using javascript, so your user get's instant feedback.
Then, validate it using PHP (maybe create a new validate() function that may use filter_var() to validate emails.
Last, send the email only if the previous two were successful.
To follow your chain of thought, you should be evaluating if the string returned by sendemail() equals to 'ok' or not:
if (sendemail(...) == 'ok')
But, instead of evaluating two different strings ('ok' or 'Error info...') it's better if the function returned boolean values instead, and since PHPMailer's send() already does, just keep it as you have it commented:
return $mail->send()
Your last line is using $mail, a variable that you declared inside a function and you never made global, so it won't be available at that point and since you're trying to get a property (ErrorInfo) you'll be firing two PHP notices: Undefined variable and Trying to get a property from a non-object. You COULD just add global $mail at the top of the function and that will make it globally available (outside your function's scope) but this is considered a bad practice since in large pieces of code you might get confused.
Instead, a neater way of firing the error would be to throw/catch an exception:
function sendemail(...) {
// ... PHPMailer config ...
if ($mail->send()) {
return true;
} else {
throw Exception('Error: ' + $mail->ErrorInfo);
}
}
// later...
try {
sendemail()
$msg = 'Email sent!';
} catch (Exception $e) {
$msg = 'Email failed!' . $e->getMessage();
}
Here, if there's a problem with the emails sending, your function will throw a generic exception and the catch part will be executed.
EVEN BETTER
If you initialize PHPMailer like this:
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // note the parameter set to true.
It will throw an exception by itself if it fails to send the email and you'll be able to catch the exception:
function sendemail(...) {
$mail = PHPMailer(true); // this line
// ... PHPMailer config ...
return $mail->send(); // just to return something, we aren't really using this value anymore.
}
// later...
try {
sendemail(...)
$msg = 'Email sent!';
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); // Catch PHPMailer exceptions (email sending failure)
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(); // Boring error messages from anything else!
}
Never forget to read the docs!
I have mail send function in laravel
public static function Compose($to,$cc,$bcc,$subject,$body)
{
// return $to;
try
{
$data = [
'body' => $body
];
if(env('APP_ENV') == "local")
{
$email["subject"] = $subject;
$email["to"] = $to;
$email["cc"] = $cc;
$email["bcc"] = $bcc;
Mail::send('email.composeMail', $data, function ($message) use ($email) {
$message
->subject($email["subject"])
->to($email["to"]);
->cc($email["cc"]);
->bcc($email["bcc"]);
});
}
else
{
$email["subject"] = $subject;
$email["to"] = $to;
$email["cc"] = $cc;
$email["bcc"] = $bcc;
Mail::send('email.composeMail', $data, function ($message) use ($email) {
$message
->subject($email["subject"])
->to($email["to"]);
->cc($email["cc"]);
->bcc($email["bcc"]);
});
}
}
catch (\Exception $e)
{
Log::critical('Critical error occurred upon processing the transaction in Email.php -> Email class -> RevertPropertyToInbox method');
throw new CustomErrorHandler($e->getMessage(),Constant::LogLevelCritical);
}
}
In many cases CC and BCC is Null.
But mails aren't sent and I am getting error message
Here , I want to use code as it is without checking if CC or BCC is null, Is there any thing missed by me so that I can achieve what I am planning to .
Those methods can all be called with an array instead of a plain string (docs). In that case, you should be able to just leave the array empty. Try this:
$message
->subject($email["subject"])
->to($email["to"]);
->cc($email["cc"] ?: []);
->bcc($email["bcc"] ?: []);
you cannot send email if the email address is blank, it will always throw error
instead you need to check and then send email accordingly
try this
if($email["cc"] =='' && $email["bcc"] == ''){
$message
->subject($email["subject"])
->to($email["to"]);
}
elseif($email["cc"] ==''){
$message
->subject($email["subject"])
->to($email["to"])
->bcc($email["bcc"]);
}
else{
$message
->subject($email["subject"])
->to($email["to"])
->cc($email["cc"]);
}
Code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['data']) && !empty($_POST['data']) && isset($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['email'])) {
$email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
var_dump($email);
$data = explode(',', $_POST['data']);
mailImages($data);
}
function mailImages($data){
require_once "../PHPMailer_5.2.0/class.phpmailer.php";
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); //defaults to using php "mail()"; the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
try {
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->AddReplyTo('kasper.lassner#peterwolf.agency', 'Colegio Suizo de México');
// $mail->AddAddress('******#****.agency','K L');
//$mail->AddAddress('"'.$email.'"','');
$mail->AddAddress($email,'test');
$mail->SetFrom('*******#********.agency', 'Colegio Suizo de México');
$mail->Subject = 'CSM Fotos';
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
$mail->MsgHTML('Test message');
foreach($data as $image){
$mail->AddAttachment(realpath(dirname(__FILE__)).'/'.str_replace(' ','',$image));
}
$mail->Send();
echo 'OK';
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
//echo $e->errorMessage();
echo $mail->ErrorInfo;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'NO';//Boring error messages from anything else!
}
}
?>
So my problem is the following: I get an "Invalid Address:"" Error. When I comment this line:
$mail->AddAddress($email,'test');
And uncomment this line:
$mail->AddAddress('******#****.agency','K L');
Passing a string value works. So the problem clearly is that the $email variable somehow isn't accepted. The var_dump outputs this: "string(24) "*******#****.com" so it is a string.
I've searched in already existing answers and couldn't find that specific issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Your problem is explained in http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php.
By default, every variable you use in a function is implicitly local to that function. The $email in mailImages is unrelated to the $email outside. Because the variable is not set, it causes the "Invalid Address" error.
You can fix this by either adding another function parameter:
function mailImages($data, $email) { ... }
// call as
mailImages($data, $email);
or by explicitly marking $email as global:
function mailImages($data) {
global $email;
...
}
I've written my own Code Igniter model for sending emails. All was fine until recently when I started to get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class phpmailerException in /home/mysite/public_html/subdir/application/libraries/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php on line 2319
I'm using:
CodeIgniter 2
PHPMailer 5.1
I've tried the following to resolve it:
Added "$mail->SMTPDebug = 0" to turn off errors.
Added: "$mail->MailerDebug = false;"
Modified the PHPMailer to only show errors when SMTPDebug is turned on.
Looked for and removed any echo statements
Added try / catch blocks Tried adding / removing: $mail = new PHPMailer(true);

This Code will clear this issue 100%..
Basically one of two things is happening:
You are "including" your PHP code twice somewhere, causing the 2nd time to generate the redeclaration error
You are using "phpmailerException" somewhere else, besides your model. Have you tried to do a "find all" in your IDE for ALL calls to "phpmailerException" - perhaps you used this name in another area for another exception?
require_once("class.phpmailer.php") is better.
Mukesh is right that require_once will solve Sift Exchanges answer #1. However, there is not need to check if the class exists as require_once does that.
