Smtp Mail

[genxer]

Hello, I don't know very good PHP, I have a problem with send email. My hosting working smtp support but i didn't add it.

My function doing send recovery password.

How can i add smtp support?

 

function sendRecover($to, $title, $url, $from, $username, $salt) {

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: '.$title.' <'.$from.'>' . "\r\n";
$subject = 'Password Recovery - '.$title;
$message = 'A password recover was requested, if you didn\'t make this action please ignore this email. <br /><br />Your Username: <strong>'.$username.'</strong><br />Your Reset Key: <strong>'.$salt.'</strong><br /><br />You can reset your password by accessing the following link: <a href="'.$url.'/index.php?a=recover&r=1" target="_blank">'.$url.'/index.php?a=recover&r=1</a>';

return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

I'd start by removing the error suppressor from your call to mail and see if your getting any error.

    require_once("class.phpmailer.php");
    $mail = new PHPMailer();

    $mail->IsSMTP();                                   // send via SMTP
    $mail->Host     = "mail.site.com"; // SMTP servers
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username = "site@site.com";  // SMTP username
    $mail->Password = "mypass"; // SMTP password
	$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
	$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
	$headers .= 'From: '.$title.' <'.$from.'>' . "\r\n";
	$subject = 'Password Recovery - '.$title;
	$message = 'A password recover was requested, if you didn\'t make this action please ignore this email. <br /><br />Your Username: <strong>'.$username.'</strong><br />Your Reset Key: <strong>'.$salt.'</strong><br /><br />You can reset your password by accessing the following link: <a href="'.$url.'/index.php?a=recover&r=1" target="_blank">'.$url.'/index.php?a=recover&r=1</a>';

}

I don't have any experience with phpMailer, but I'am sure that you're trying to set up that function in wrong way.

 

If you want to set up the php mail function to use different mail servers using SMTP protocol you need to know few things.

 

1. What OS is running on the server

 

2. Under linux servers by default the php mail function uses a l sendmail inux client, so you need to create own sendmail configuration file(if you don't have any access to the server) setting its correct path into php.ini file.

 

3. On windows servers I don't know how to do this but I found this one on the web - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/112190/php-ini-smtp-how-do-you-pass-username-password

I hope so wrong way but i need try someting

 

My hosting Linux server, and my hosting provider said we are stopped SMTP on our IIS all hosting server if you want send email you must add SMTP support on your code like PHPmailler they send me a sample php mail form (PHPmailler).

 

How can i integrate it i dont know.

 

[jazzman1]

Ok, I wrote a simple script using the same logic as your.

 

Instead phpMailer I'm using another good php mail library - swiftMailer - http://swiftmailer.org/docs/sending.html

 

This test I have made it from my local linux server but using my remote google mail account.

 

Here is it:

 

<?php
require_once 'swiftmailer./lib/swift_required.php';

date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');

function sendRecover($to, $title, $url, $from, $username, $salt, $body) {
    $transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.googlemail.com', 465, 'ssl')
  ->setUsername("yourName@gmail.com")
  ->setPassword("yourPassword");
  ;

// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

// Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance($title)
  ->setContentType("text/html")
  ->setFrom(array($from))
  ->setTo(array($to))
  ->setBody($body)
  ;

// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);

return $result;
}

$url = 'reset.com';
$username = 'jazzman';
$salt = md5('password');
$body= <<<EOT
A password recover was requested, if you didn't make this action please ignore this email. <br />
<br />Your Username: <strong>$username</strong><br />Your Reset Key: <strong>$salt</strong><br />
<br />You can reset your password by accessing the following link:
<a href="$url/index.php?a=recover&r=1" target="_blank">$url/index.php?a=recover&r=1</a>
EOT;
 
sendRecover('jazzman@gmail.com', 'Wonderful Subject', 'smtp.example.com', 'jazzman@localdomain.com', 'jazzman', $salt, $body);

Results:

 

A password recover was requested, if you didn't make this action please ignore this email.

Your Username: jazzman
Your Reset Key: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

You can reset your password by accessing the following link: reset.com/index.php?a=recover&r=1

$body= <<<EOT
A password recover was requested, if you didn't make this action please ignore this email. <br />
<br />Your Username: <strong>$username</strong><br />Your Reset Key: <strong>$salt</strong><br />
<br />You can reset your password by accessing the following link:

EOT;
 
sendRecover('jazzman@gmail.com', 'Wonderful Subject', 'smtp.example.com', 'jazzman@localdomain.com', 'jazzman', $salt, $body);

[jazzman1]

Which editor you are using?

 

Attach the file with error.

[genxer]

functions.php

[jazzman1]

There is no problem with that script for me.

 

Listen, don't copy/paste my heredoc (<<<EOT EOT;)just create own one with the same content or don't use heredoc, it's up to you

[genxer]

I guess it's my fault and not working But I won't take much of your time:)

 

Thanks

[jazzman1]

Try to put a backslash before the first comma in the string,

 

$body=<<<EOT

A password recover was requested, if you didn\'t make this action please ignore this email. <br />
<br />Your Username: <strong>$username</strong><br />Your Reset Key: <strong>$salt</strong><br />
<br />You can reset your password by accessing the following link:
<a href="$url/index.php?a=recover&r=1" target="_blank">$url/index.php?a=recover&r=1</a>

EOT;
 
sendRecover('jazzman@gmail.com', 'Wonderful Subject', 'smtp.example.com', 'jazzman@localdomain.com', 'jazzman', $salt, $body);

I deleted this line just for test. But still blank white page... I think have different poblem

[jazzman1]

Do you have error reporting turned on and showing all errors?

 

Paste this on the top of your file:

 

error_reporting(-1); 

[genxer]

I saw a lot error. I will try it and write here result.
