PHPMailer help

[ChaosKnight]

I decided to include PHPMailer for use with the outgoing e-mails, but for some reason when I submit the form, the page include just disappears and no mail gets sent... Here is the code that I tried:

      require("class.phpmailer.php");

      $mailer = new PHPMailer();

      $mailer->IsSMTP();
      $mailer->Host = $host;
      $mailer->SMTPAuth = true;
      $mailer->Username = $user;
      $mailer->Password = $password;
      
      $mailer->From = $address_from;
      $mailer->AddAddress($address_to);

      $mailer->WordWrap = 50;

      $mailer->IsHTML(true);

      $mailer->Subject = $subject;
      $mailer->Body = $message;

      if($mailer->Send()){
        echo "<h3>The message was sent successfully...</h3>";
      }else{
        echo "<h3>The message could not be sent...</h3>" . $mailer->ErrorInfo;
        exit;
      }

 

Everythng is on the same page as the form, and the other code works fine, it's only the e-mail part...

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

What is your

 

$mailer->Port equal to on the server?

 

echo the user/password and make sure they are correct.

 

IsHTML(true) I think is depreciated.

use

$mailer->MsgHTML($body);

instead of ->Body

 

also

$mailer->AltBody="Non html version";

 

And try changing:

$mailer->AddAddress($address_to);

to

$mailer->AddAddress($address_to, "Recipient");

 

To make sure you don't need a name to call the method.

I'll quickly try those, but I discovered that even a simple script like the one below, stops executing completely... Is there some way to make sure that the PHP script "sees" class.phpmailer.php? I placed it in the same directory as the contact.php page though... And the webhost told me that the port is set to the default

<?php
  require("class.phpmailer.php");
  $mail = new PHPMailer();
  echo "Hello World";
?>

Okay so I used the file_exists function, and it returned that it found the file, then I commented out the $mail = new PHPMailer(); command  and left the required, and it still executed the code after the require command. But when I uncommented the $mail = new PHPMailer(); command, the code stopped executing again... Any ideas on what could be wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated... It seems as if the problem is in the object...

Verify the include file's includes are working.  Also are you using:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

 

 

It should tell you what is going on better than I can.

Hello,

 

Are you sure you're using the right PHP version? Make sure it supports Objects, at least 5.0:

 

In a clean *.php file type the following:

 

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

 

...and take a look at the output checking for the PHP version.

I assume this is related to:

And solved.
