XAMMP Sendmail issue - php

Question

I am having an issue getting my sendmail to work in Xammp.
The mail was working perfectly when using sendtodisk but now I get a crash log using sendmail:
PHP to send emails (Using PHP Mailer):
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->setFrom($from_email, 'Thomas ****');
$mail->addAddress('thomas#****.co.za', 'Client');
$mail->Subject = 'Sign Offs';
$mail->Body = generateMailTemplate($job_id, $to_email, $from_email, $name);
$mail->addAttachment('tmp/'.$job_id.'.pdf');
$mail->isHTML(true);
if (!$mail->send()) {
return $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
return true;
}
php.ini
sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"
sendmail.ini
smtp_server=outbound.mailhop.org
smtp_port=25
crash.log
command line : C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t -fthomas#****.co.za
Any ideas?

Answer 1

try to set smtp settings for your phpmailer script, not for php
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'outbound.mailhop.org';
$mail->Port = 25;
// if need auth
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'user';
$mail->Password = 'password';
$mail->Subject = 'subject';
$mail->Body = 'body';
$mail->send();
