I am trying to send mails using php. I am using wampserver2.2 . And my php version is 5.4.3
Here is the code I tried:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$YourName = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['YourName']);
$From = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Email']);
$Subject = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Subject']);
$Message = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['message']);
$myEmailAdr = "umvss01#gmail.com";
if (preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]+#[a-zA-Z]+[.]{1}[a-zA-Z]+$/', $From))
{
$headers = 'From: '.$From."\r\n".'Reply-To: '.$From;
$Message = str_replace("\n.", "\n..", $Message);
try
{
ini_set("SMTP","ssl:smtp.gmail.com" );
ini_set("smtp_port","465");
$send = mail($myEmailAdr, $Subject, $Message, $headers ); // line 24
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
$error = $e->getMessage();
echo $error;
}
}
else
{
echo "Error in Mail Address Format";
}
}
?>
The problem is I am getting the following error when I try to use it. Line 24 means the mail function.
Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at
"ssl:smtp.gmail.com" port 465, verify your "SMTP"
and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in
C:\wamp\www\UMVSS_Website\ContactScript.php on line 24
The PHP mail() function doesn't use authentication to the SMTP server, which generally results in an error when connecting to public servers like the one you are trying to connect to. You might want use a library like PHPMailer which you can autheticate with.
So, GMail requires SMTP authentication. Mail does not provide that interface.
Check out PHPMailer. Here is an example for connecting to GMail

Guys i am now working with php mailer library.i have some errors related to mail()
functions.
This my source code
<?php

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->IsSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.google.com'; // Specify main and backup server
$mail->Port = 587; // Set the SMTP port
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'venki14101996#gmail.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = '8903273610'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
$mail->From = 'venki14101996#gmail.com';
$mail->FromName = 'VENKAT';
$mail->AddAddress('venkat14101996#gmail.com', 'Josh Adams'); // Add a recipient
$mail->AddAddress('rishi27052001#gmail.com'); // Name is optional
$mail->IsHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <strong>in bold!</strong>';

THIS SHOWs ME A ERROR MESSAGE
Message could not be sent.Mailer Error: The following From address failed: venki14101996#gmail.com : Called Mail() without being connected
At before i use this source code before
but i don't have the vendor/autoload file in my phpmailer folder

This script is working fine when I put my website email on place of $to , and when I enter my gmail id on place of FROM , my question is how can I send email to my gmail from my website email using mail function ? ,I have tried by putting my gmail id in place of $to and my website email in place of From but it's not working , My website is a shared linux hosting .
Take a look at the PHPMailer Github. When you use the PHP mail function, you are sending email directly from your web server.Sending mail via SMTP is recommended as email is sent from the mail server rather than local server. This script lets you send messages via your Google’s Gmail server. Example below
<?php
/**
* This example shows settings to use when sending via Google's Gmail servers.
* This uses traditional id & password authentication - look at the gmail_xoauth.phps
* example to see how to use XOAUTH2.
* The IMAP section shows how to save this message to the 'Sent Mail' folder using IMAP commands.

Isn't because your host prevent emails sending from another domain for spam issues ?
Eventually you can add a transfert rule from your Skynet to Gmail adress.
I have a project in which I have to send 100-200 mails to users but every mail has different token for each user. I have the email hosted on godaddy.
So I was looking to send email using phpmailer. Below is the script which I am testing but it keeps giving me this error -

This script I have found on a blog.
Any alternatives to this are also welcomed, My purpose is to send 200 emails from my godaddy email account but every email has a separate token which is fetched from the database and then inserted in the mail body and sent to the user.
That is so simple:
You must focus on smtp host, port, ssl...
Change smtp host to: relay-hosting.secureserver.net
And DELETE port and ssl, thats all...
Do not use smtp port and smtp ssl true or false...
var fromAddress = "mailfrom#yourdomain";
// any address where the email will be sending
var toAddress = "mailto#yourdomain";
//Password of your mail address
const string fromPassword = "******";
// Passing the values and make a email formate to display
string subject = TextBox1.Text.ToString();
string body = "From: " + TextBox2.Text + "\n";
body += "Email: " + TextBox3.Text + "\n";
body += "Subject: " + TextBox4.Text + "\n";
body += "Message: \n" + TextBox5.Text + "\n";
// smtp settings
var smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
{
smtp.Host = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
**//Warning Delete =>//smtp.Port = 80;**
**//Warning Delete =>//smtp.EnableSsl = false;**
smtp.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress, fromPassword);
smtp.Timeout = 20000;
}
// Passing values to smtp object
smtp.Send(fromAddress, toAddress, subject, body);
You need to modify few configurations mentioned below. let me know if this works or not.
$mail->Host = 'localhost';
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->ssl = false;
$mail->authentication = false;
I recently setup phpmailer as my SMTP sending script to use for a website I've been working on and it's been nothing but a headache. My setup is IIS, and I'm currently using office365 to send out emails(although I have tried gmail and the results were no faster).I would appreciate any and all advice on how to speed this up, or if there's a way to post to a php file from javascript or php and then just let it work I could do that too. I'm trying to stay away from cron jobs if possible.
my script:
function sendMail($code, $email) {
//Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = "smtp.office365.com";
//Set the SMTP port number - likely to be 25, 465 or 587
$mail->Port = 587;
//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Username to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "support#[domain redacted].com";
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = "[password redacted]";
//enable TLS
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('support#[domain redacted].com', '[redacted]');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
$mail->addReplyTo('support#[domain redacted].com', '[redacted]');
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress($email);
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'This is a test email from EdTester Support';
//Read an HTML message body from an external file, convert referenced images to embedded,
//convert HTML into a basic plain-text alternative body
$mail->Body = "Hello there, This is your activation e-mail. Please go to: http://[domain redacted]/activate.php?code=". $code . "&email=" . $email;
//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!";
}
}
I've been using PHPMailer for years and have been pretty happy with it, but now I'm trying to get a contact form working with an email address that is domain based but tied to Gmail via Google Apps. I.e. the MX record points to Google. I've added PHPMailer's Gmail example trying to get the setup to work, but at this point, I'm not connecting; I get this message:
SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)

To answer some questions in advance: yes, SSL rather than TLS is enabled in Gmail, and the MX record is changed at the host. I also did comment out some stuff, but as far as I can tell nothing that I need to get the form to actually send.
Beyond that, I don't even qualify as a hack with PHP; my primary skills are design, HTML and CSS, so I'm probably missing something obvious....
Thanks in advance.
