How to send Email's through godaddy with PHPMailer? - php

Question

I'm trying for several day send e-mails from my website through godaddy account.
I don't know if there's any special configuration at server side(godaddy)
I don't know if I did any mistake with my php code too.
I really need figure out how can I send email's.
Thanks, Ricardo.
enter code here
try {
//Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->DKIM_domain = '**********';
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = "a2plcpnl0321.prod.iad2.secureserver.net";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Username to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "***************.com";
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = "**99KKll";
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('****************.com', '*******');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
//$mail->addReplyTo('replyto#example.com', 'First Last');
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('**************.com', '*****');
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer SMTP test';
$mail->Body = "<i>This is the Link to change your password:</i>";
//Replace the plain text body with one created manually
$mail->AltBody = 'This is a plain-text message body';
//send the message, check for errors
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
print_r($mail);

Answer 1

are you catching the errors?
try {
// your mail code
// $mail->send();
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
}

Answer 3

after many attemps.. this works for me in Godaddy[20/12/2017]
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer();
//$mail->isSMTP();
//isSMTP seems to be the problem.. because it sends locally
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
//$mail->DKIM_domain = '127.0.0.1';
$mail->Host = "localhost";
$mail->Port = "25";
$mail->SMTPSecure = "none";
$mail->SMTPAuth = false;
$mail->Username = "";
$mail->Password = "";

I know this isn't exactly the solution the original post was looking for, but for anyone who is dealing with the limitations of sending emails through GoDaddy or any other hosting service, this could be a useful workaround. This solution will allow you to send emails via Gmail from any other account you have login credentials for.
Requirements:
Gmail account, XAMPP or similar local web server, PHPMailer library
(tutorials on how to use XAMPP and PHPMailer are abundantly available online)
Instructions:
1. Go to "Settings" in your Gmail account. Under "Accounts and Import," add "youraccount#domainyouown.com" in the "Send Mail As" section.
2. In your PHP script (using the PHPMailer library), replace the credentials in the following lines of code with your Gmail credentials and the account you'd like to send from:
$mail->Username = 'username#gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'yourpassword';
$mail->setFrom('youraccount#domainyouown.com', 'Your Name');
$mail->addReplyTo('youraccount#domainyouown.com', 'Your Name');
Added benefits of this method:
Emails are authenticated. I spent quite a while trying to achieve this via GoDaddy, to no avail. This removes the "possible spam" notification that is sometimes present with emails sent through hosting server relays...
Emails are sent faster. For whatever reason, the emails I sent via GoDaddy using PHP's mail() function took a few minutes to go through. Gmail takes seconds.
Copies of the emails you send actually show up in your Gmail "Sent" folder. This was also something that I could not achieve via GoDaddy, and I was told by customer support that this is a limitation of the service.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of this or suggest a better method. It's just the most elegant solution I've found so far!
