March 7, 2015

form.zip

March 6, 2015

I just checked the JS console i have this

March 6, 2015

Am i close to fixing this at least?

How do you know it was successful? You just return true no matter what.

The mail function returns a boolean, you should use that.
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
return true;
One other thing I noticed, is headers need to be separated with \r\n, not just \n.
$headers = "From: whitegatescattery.com\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: email@gmail.com";
As far as the appending error messages in your second code block, it's probably because you do a var_dump(), which sends that output back to the browser.

How do you mean return true all the time?

<?php
// check if fields passed are empty
if(empty($_POST['name'])      ||
   empty($_POST['email'])     ||
   empty($_POST['phone'])     ||
   empty($_POST['message']) ||
   !filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
   {
  echo "No arguments Provided!";
  return false;
   }
  
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
  
// create email body and send it  
$to = 'email@gmail.com'; // put your email
$email_subject = "Contact form submitted by:  $name";
$email_body = "You have received a new message. \n\n".
          " Here are the details:\n \nName: $name \n ".
          "Email: $email_address\n Phone: $phone\n Message \n $message";
$headers = "From: whitegatescattery.com\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: email@gmail.com"; 
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
return true;      
?>

This worked with Gmail i dont get why this

<?php

require_once './libPHPMailerAutoload.php';
// check if fields passed are empty
// check if fields passed are empty

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];

if(empty($_POST['name'])      ||
   empty($_POST['email'])     ||
   empty($_POST['phone'])     ||
   empty($_POST['message']) ||
   !filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
   {
  echo "No arguments Provided!";
  return false;
   }
  

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth= true;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;


$mail->Host = 'smtp-mail.outlook.com';
$mail->Username = 'email';
$mail->Password = 'pass';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;

$mail->From = $email_address;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->addReplyTo('reply@outlook.com','reply');
$mail->addAddress('@outlook.com','me');

   $mail->isHTML(true);
   $mail->Subject = "Contact Form has been submitted";
   $mail->Body = "You have received a new message. <br><br>".
                  " Here are the details:<br> Name: $name <br> Phone Number: $phone <br>".
                  "Email: $email_address<br> Message <br> $message";

var_dump($mail->send());
return true;			


?>

Is causing my ajax to append my fail message

March 6, 2015

I may have used the wrong terminology but i don't know why the form is not working

March 6, 2015

Can someone have a look at this , if i take the php code below the return false it says the message is sent.

contact_form.zip

March 6, 2015

<?php
require_once 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';

   }

$message = $_POST['message'];

$mail->From = $email_address;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->addReplyTo('reply@outlook.com','reply');
$mail->addAddress('testytestersontesting@outlook.com','Testy Testerson');

   $mail->isHTML(true);
   $mail->Subject = "Contact Form has been submitted";
   $mail->Body = "You have received a new message. <br><br>".
                  " Here are the details:<br> Name: $name <br> Phone Number: $phone <br>".
                  "Email: $email_address<br> Message <br> $message";

echo var_dump($mail->send());
return true;			
?>

I just flat out cannot see why this does not work , the script on its own works but when i try to integrate it into the form i get my ajax sending back my error alert.

March 6, 2015

Ok so i just made a test email address testy testerson , i an send emails from the testy account to my email account , i literally changed no code.

March 6, 2015

Thing is this was working fine like 10 minutes ago i managed to send like 8 emails.

March 6, 2015

i have to use outlook as its what my mate wants to use for this form

March 6, 2015

This may seem obvious, but it has't been mentioned. Have you turned on SMTP error reporting?
/*
* $mail->SMTPDebug = 0; disable debugging, 0 is the default)
* $mail->SMTPDebug = 1; echo errors and server responses
* $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; echo errors, server responses and client messages
*/
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
I'm not as familiar with PHPMailer, but with other classes/frameworks, you can pass additional headers. That may be where you want to research, specifically for MS mail. BTW, I've used part of your ajax script to update on of my own. I like how your handling post submit UI feedback. Good luck

If my AJAX is working it has to be on the PHP end

March 6, 2015

Literally 5 minutes later and i get this "

I did a basic just send an email PHP scrip i have the emails going to my in box with this

<?php

require_once 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth= true;



$mail->Host = 'smtp-mail.outlook.com';
$mail->Username = 'myemail@outlook.com';
$mail->Password = 'pass';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;

$mail->From = 'sender@outlook.com';
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->addReplyTo('sender@outlook.com',$name);
$mail->addAddress('myemail@outlook.com',me);

$mail->Subject = 'Testing Email';
$mail->Body = 'This is a Test Email ssl';
$mail->AltBody ='This is a Test Email';

var_dump($mail->send());

?>

March 6, 2015

Ok so .... it works with TLS but refuses to let me use SSL .... why Microsoft...

March 6, 2015

Besides the possible issues with your script, also understand that ANY of the Microsoft email domains (outlook, hotmail, live, msn) are very very hard to have an email arrive in the inbox. They have very strict rules in place to prevent spam, so make sure to check your spam box before deciding that the email has never arrived. Try sending it to a yahoo or gmail address too and see if it arrives there. Those email domains are far less strict.

With Gmail when the form is submitted i get a suspicious sign in attempt email from Gmail.

March 5, 2015

Console doesn't appear to be coming up with anything which is odd as this script seems to work with other php mail scripts i've written it only seems to not like phpmailer.

I have attached my files , im going to keep looking at it but i cant see whats wrong.

test.zip

March 3, 2015

Doesn't matter if it works. Did you implement the changes I suggested and check the browsers console to see if you actually got a response back?

Ill be doing that tomorrow mate , its late in my timezone.

March 3, 2015

That url in the ajax call seems a little odd. Are you sure the ajax post is making it to your contact_me.php script? Do you receive any of the error messages back?

What makes the URL seem odd?

March 3, 2015

Ill rebuild workable version and post it

March 3, 2015

It seems to submit fine it just never shows up

March 3, 2015

I am attempting to create a php AJAX contact form , however the email never seems to arrive in my outlook.
