I am composing a email function for sending newsletters to many recipients in PHP.
<?php
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
require_once('class.smtp.php');
$mailer = new Mailer();
Class Mailer{
function __construct(){
$dbCon = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "dbppa");
}
public function sendMail($e,$message,$subject){
$mail = new PhpMailer;
$body = $message;
$subject = "PPA Newsletter";
$clientName = $e;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->CharSet = 'utf-8';
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Host = 'tls://smtp.gmail.com:587';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = "myemail#mail.com";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->setFrom("myemail#mail.com","PPA Administrator");
$mail->addReplyTo('myemail#mail.com', 'PPA Admin');
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = "This is the official news letter from PPA ";
$mail->Body = $body;
$address = $e;
$mail->AddAddress($address, $clientName);
if(!$mail->Send()){
echo "NOT SENT";
}
else{
echo "SENT";
}
}
}//class mailer
?>
In the code given above. I provided correct email username and email password. From Gmail. But it does not send the given email message to the recipient(s). It always return an ErrorInfo of SMTP Error:
Could not authenticate. SMTP connect() failed.
Why? Please help.
You can use an old version of phpmailer, it will work with your code. I use version 5.2.8.

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;
}
}
?>

I am trying to send email through PHPMailer. And while sending it gives me error as
SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110) SMTP connect() failed. Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
I really can't figure it out what's wrong. Is it the server configuration problem or code configuration problem. If anyone knows the answer please let me know.
Code below:
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
include('class.smtp.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer(); //Initialize a new PHPMailer object;
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body); //Replace unwanted characters of the content
$mail->CharSet ="ISO-8859-1";
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->From = 'email';
$mail->FromName = 'name';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = 'smtp.live.com';
$mail->Port = '465';
$mail->Username = 'email ';
$mail->Password = 'password';
$mail->SetFrom('email', 'who');
$mail->AddReplyTo('email','who');
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!';
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$address = $to;
$mail->AddAddress($address, '');
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent successfully!";
}

If you are using PHP Mailer from Github,
then you can set the Sender name by,
$mail->SetFrom("info#mibckerala.org", "MIBC");
I am trying to let users fill out a contact form, which will then be sent to my email. But its not working for some reason. I just get a blank page with no error message or any text and email is also not sent.
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
include_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$name = strip_tags($_POST['full_name']);
$email = strip_tags ($_POST['email']);
$msg = strip_tags ($_POST['description']);
$subject = "Contact Form from DigitDevs Website";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->Host = "mail.example.com"; // SMTP server example
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Port = 26; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "info#example.com"; // SMTP account username example
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP account password example
$mail->From = $email;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->AddAddress('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->AddReplyTo($email, 'Wale');
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $msg;
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
echo 'Message has been sent';
You need to call:
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // with true in the parenthesis
From the documentation:
The true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need
to catch.
Its working now, i didnt include the 'class.smtp.php' file. The working code is below:
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
include_once('class.phpmailer.php');
require_once('class.smtp.php');
$name = strip_tags($_POST['full_name']);
$email = strip_tags ($_POST['email']);
$msg = strip_tags ($_POST['description']);
$subject = "Contact Form from DigitDevs Website";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->Host = "mail.example.com"; // SMTP server example
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Port = 26; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "info#example.com"; // SMTP account username example
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP account password example
$mail->From = $email;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->AddAddress('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->AddReplyTo($email, 'Wale');
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $msg;
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
echo 'Message has been sent';
I had the same problem with no error message even with SMTPDebug enabled. After searching around for working examples I noticed that I didn't include the SMTP Secure value. Try adding this line:
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; //secure transfer enabled
Work like a charm now.
I had a similar problem. In reference to #Syclone's answer. I was using the default "tls".
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
After I changed it to
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
It worked ! My mailserver was only accepting connections over SSL.
What worked for me was setting From as Username and FromName as $_POST['email']
Hope this helps
PHPMailer use exception.
Try this
try {
include_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$name = strip_tags($_POST['full_name']);
$email = strip_tags ($_POST['email']);
$msg = strip_tags ($_POST['description']);
$subject = "Contact Form from DigitDevs Website";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->Host = "mail.example.com"; // SMTP server example
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Port = 26; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "info#example.com"; // SMTP account username example
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP account password example
$mail->From = $email;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->AddAddress('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->AddReplyTo($email, 'Wale');
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $msg;
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
$mail->Send();
exit;
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); //error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
I was trying to load an HTML file to send, which did not belong to the www-data group on my Ubuntu server.
chown -R www-data *
chgrp -R www-data *
Problem solved!
I was debating whether to write my own handler or crow-bar PHPMailer into my existing class structure. In the event it was very easy because of the versatility of the spl_autoload_register function which is used within the PHPMailer system as well as my existing class structure.
I simply created a basic class Email in my existing class structure as follows
<?php
/**
* Provides link to PHPMailer
*
* #author Mike Bruce
*/
class Email {
public $_mailer; // Define additional class variables as required by your application
public function __construct()
{
require_once "PHPMail/PHPMailerAutoload.php" ;
$this->_mailer = new PHPMailer() ;
$this->_mailer->isHTML(true);
return $this;
}
}
?>
From a calling Object class the code would be:
$email = new Email;
$email->_mailer->functionCalls();
// continue with more function calls as required
Works a treat and has saved me re-inventing the wheel.
Try this ssl settings:
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; //tls or ssl
$mail->SMTPOptions = array('ssl' => array('verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true));
