I am sending emails using PHPMailer and through my gmail account with SMTP. It all works except when there is an & in the subject, then in my inbox the subject has &
Any way to make this not happen? I've tried setting the charset and encoding the subject.
My code is below
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->SMTPDebug = false;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "myusername#gmail.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "password"; // GMAIL password
$mail->SetFrom('from#somesite.com', 'From Person');
$mail->AddReplyTo("from#somesite.com", "From Person");
$mail->Subject = 'An example with a & in the middle';
$mail->MsgHTML('Some text to send');
$mail->AddAddress('myusername#gmail.com');
$mail->Send()
Thank You
Try using this code, let me know if it helps.
$mail->Subject = "=?UTF-8?B?".base64_encode($_POST['subject'])."?=";

I have been trying to send emails with an attachment using PHPMailer. This worked fine. Then I decided to embed an image using the addEmbeddedImage-method.
Now I have a problem! The emails are received fine in gmail. But when I open the email in windows (using MS-Outlook) the attachment disappears!!
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // Disable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = $mailHost; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = $mailUserName; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = $mailPassword; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom($mailSentFrom , $organisation);
$mail->addAddress($emailAdress, $recipientFullName);
//Attachments
$mail->addEmbeddedImage($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].PHP_PATH.'/library-overrides/FPDF/images/small-logo.jpg', 'logo');
$mail->addStringAttachment($attachment, "$categoryName $seasonName, $recipientFullName.pdf", 'base64', 'application/pdf');
$mail->isHTML( true );
$mail->Subject = "$categoryName $seasonName";
$mail->Body = ""; // contains html version of email (omitted for readability)
$mail->AltBody = "";
$mail->send();
Any ideas how to fix this?
I'm using Yii phpmailer extension to send mail using gmail but it showing SMTP Error: Could not authenticate. instead of sending mail. My code what I used
Yii::import('application.extensions.phpmailer.JPhpMailer');
$mail = new JPhpMailer;
$mail->IsSMTP();
//$mail->Host = 'smpt.163.com';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.googlemail.com:465';
//$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com:587';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Username = $email;
$mail->Password = $pass;
$mail->SetFrom($email, SiteConfig::SITE_TITLE);
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp, basic with authentication';
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!';
$mail->MsgHTML('<h1>JUST A TEST!</h1>');
$mail->AddAddress($email, 'My Name');
$mail->Send();
I followed this link.
How can I solve this problem and send mail using gmail? I’d appreciate any light you can shed on this!!
Try adding the following line:
$mail->Port = 465;
I am unsure if adding :port works for the Host field as you've done - I can confirm that setting the Port field manually does work, as I have a large system whose code looks very similar to yours which is working as expected.
We also use $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com' but I am almost certain that the smtp.googlemail.com domain should also work.
You can debug and get error report
for 1 error and message
for 2 message only
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
Be sure to set the following attributes:
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "your username";
$mail->Password = "your password";
It should work with those attributes set.
Hope it helps.
Good Day, I found in google that you can send sms messages just by typing the recipients mobile number plus the sms gateway using phpmailer and I tested it on my mobile phone but for some reason I don't received any sms messages. This is my php code:
require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
// Configure smptp
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Encoding = '7bit';
// Authentication
$mail->Username = "**********#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "******";
// Compose
$mail->Subject = "Testing";
$mail->Body = "Testing";
// Send to
$mail->AddAddress("***********#mysmart.mymobile.ph");
var_dump($mail->send()); //Send!
and here is the var_dump
I am residing in the philippines. Thanks.
i want to send email after user checkout from cart
my controller:
include('js/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server Gmail
$mail->Mailer = "smtp";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->Username = "my gmail"; //
$mail->Password = "my pass"; // SMTP password
$webmaster_email = "my gmail"; //Reply to this email ID
$email = "recipient gmail"; // Recipients email ID
$name = "John"; // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->FromName = "Aryono King";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"Goeboek I-Mut");
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "Subject Test";
$mail->Body = "Test Content"; //HTML Body
if(!$mail->Send()) {echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;}
else {echo "<strong>Email Send</strong>";}
but it show error like this
2015-05-20 21:46:43 SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: (0) 2015-05-20 21:46:43 SMTP connect() failed. Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
what's the problem? i can't solve it, i search everywhere and i can't fint the answer, please someone help me
Take a look at the example here.
While personally, I do it like this:
//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';
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = $email_mail; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = $email_pass; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to
Try to check against yours, like for example: $mail->Host = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';, which supposed to be don't have ssl://.
Two things you need to check before using phpmailer for gmail
need to check whether SMTP port and email + password is correct or not
You need to authenticate from your gmail account for sending email from unsecured sources, means: when first you send an email, google will send you an email asking your permission to allow to forward email from your id, here your required to click allow
One more thing, Port 587 is working perfectly for me, instead of 465
Hi,
there's more...I have seen that antivirus or firewall installed in your computer may block sending emails via localhost as it may considered as spam attacks
use this code...
include 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
function send_mail($mail_to,$mail_to_fname,$mail_to_lname,$subject,$message)
{ $mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = 'mail.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = " YOUR GMAIL ";
$mail->Password = " YOUR GMAIL PASSWORD";
$mail->setFrom(' YOUR GMAIL ', ' YOUR NAME ');
$mail->addAddress($mail_to,$mail_to_fname . " " . $mail_to_lname);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->msgHTML($message);
$mail->AltBody = ' ';
if (!$mail->send()){echo "FALSE" . $mail->ErrorInfo;}
else{echo "TRUE";}
}
// How to user
// send_email(" email address where to send "," reciepient first name ","reciepient last name "," subject ", " message as html code ");
you need to do one more step for allowing gmail to send messages...!
(*) accept to allow google to send emails from unsecured apps, that link will be sent to your gmail, after you send first email
