Nostrosvostros Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Being fresh to PHP I installed PHPMailer (Not sure how to install classes so what I did is I dropped the PHPMailer files into my PEAR folder since that's where all my extensions are being sent to in XAMPP). Then I ran a basic script to send email via PHPMailer using the functions offered by PHPMailer instead of Mail() (of course) but when I do that and execute my code by going to localhost my Firefox will just display my PHP code right back at me.

trq Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Are you using the full <?php ?> tags? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/262914-im-trying-to-setup-phpmailer-on-xampp-could-you-guys-give-me-pointers/#findComment-1347582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostrosvostros Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 What do you mean by that? The entire .php file is only code between 2 PHP tags.

Nostrosvostros Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yes, I'm thinking that it might be that I don't know how to setup the library since it's in XAMPP and I don't have a /libs/ folder.

trq Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 There is nothing special about setting up php libraries. You just need to put them on your include path, which the PEAR directory should already be on. If it is producing php code then something in your server is misconfigured.
