Answer 1

Most probably you are not allowed to connect to port 25. Check with the hosting company which SMTP server to use for outgoing mail.

Answer 2

<?php
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
require_once 'Excel/reader.php';
//$myid=$_REQUEST['myid'];
//$mypass=$_REQUEST['mypass'];
//$msg=$_REQUEST['msg'];
define('GUSER', 'ss#ss.com'); // Gmail username
define('GPWD', 'pass'); // Gmail password
function smtpmailer($to, $from, $from_name, $subject, $body) {
global $error;
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
$mail->Host = 'smtp.aol.com';
$mail->Port = 465;
//$mail->AddAttachment('upload/logo.png', 'logo.png');
$mail->Username = GUSER;
$mail->Password = GPWD;
$mail->SetFrom($from, $from_name);
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "This is the subject";
//$mail->MsgHTML(file_get_contents('test.html'));
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->AddAddress($to);
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
return false;
} else {
$error = 'Message sent!';
return true;
}
}
// initialize reader object
$excel = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();
// read spreadsheet data
$excel->read('Book1.xls');
// iterate over spreadsheet cells and print as HTML table
$x=1;
while($x<=$excel->sheets[0]['numRows']) {
$y=1;
while($y<=$excel->sheets[0]['numCols']) {
$cell = isset($excel->sheets[0]['cells'][$x][$y]) ? $excel->sheets[0]['cells'][$x][$y] : '';
smtpmailer( $cell, 'ss#ss.com', 'name', 'Subject', 'trying the aol');
$y++;
}
$x++;
}
?>
