PHPMailer, Help Please

[jacko310592]

hey guys

 

im having a problem with PHPMailer at the moment, im going to be using it to send a message from a contact form through my google email, the code i have so far is this:

 

<?php
include("../php/class.phpmailer.php");
include("../php/class.smtp.php");
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded

$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$body             = $mail->getFile('contents.html');
$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 465;                   // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server

$mail->Username   = "mymail@googlemail.com";  // GMAIL username
$mail->Password   = "mypass";            // GMAIL password

$mail->AddReplyTo("yourusername@gmail.com","First Last");

$mail->From       = "name@yourdomain.com";
$mail->FromName   = "First Last";

$mail->Subject    = "PHPMailer Test Subject via gmail";

//$mail->Body       = "Hi,<br>This is the HTML BODY<br>";                      //HTML Body
$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->WordWrap   = 50; // set word wrap

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$mail->AddAddress("whoto@otherdomain.com", "John Doe");

$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif");             // attachment

$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML

if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
  echo "Message sent!";
}

?>

 

 

but i recieve the following error:

 

Warning: fopen(contents.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\xampp\htdocs\website\php\phpmailer\class.phpmailer.php on line 1870

Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

 

 

the file it seems to be having trouble with is the class.phpmailer.php, which is within the download for PHPMailer:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/files/phpmailer%20for%20php4/PHPMailer%20v2.0.4%20for%20PHP4/PHPMailer_v2.0.4.zip/download

 

 

 

a huge thanks to anyone who helps

It can't locate "contact.html".

Check your file paths.

i change the php code abit:

 

<?php
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
error_reporting(E_STRICT);

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

require_once('../php/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded

$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host       = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 2;                     // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
                                           // 1 = errors and messages
                                           // 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 465;                   // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "mymail@googlemail.com";  // GMAIL username
$mail->Password   = "pass";            // GMAIL password

$mail->SetFrom($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);

$mail->AddReplyTo($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);

$mail->Subject    = "Contact from visitor via your website";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($_POST['message']);

$address = "mymail@googlemail.com";  //Person to send email to
$mail->AddAddress($address, "Jacko");


if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
header('Location:./index.php');
exit;
}

?>

 

which works fine running from my PC, but when i upload it to my host i got the following error

 

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: ()

SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

 

my host is running PHP v5, and the PHP Mailer is the verson for PHPv5, not the v4 one which i used in my 1st post

 

 

 

can anyone think of whats going wrong?

and on a second host i got this message:

 

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? (40869804)

SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

Your host must be missing a PHP extension that you need.

[bossman]

you might need to change some settings in your php.ini file. Or your not specifying your SMTP server correctly

[jacko310592]

could this part be the problem?:

 

$mail->Host       = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server

 

i arent sure whats needed to be placed there but it worked fine like that running from my PC.

 

 

and with my host i cannot acess the PHP.ini, so id probs need 'ini_set' alternatives, thats if there is anything wrong with the .ini settings
