Could anyone please help me with the problem I am currently having, when users try to register it allows them to register, however when I try to register users they don't get an confirmation email sent to their email as I am getting a error which says that mail(); failed to connect to mail-server., please help or advise.

 

The error I am currently getting says that it failed to connect to mailserver, please advise or help.

 

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at &quot;localhost&quot; port 25, verify your &quot;SMTP&quot; and &quot;smtp_port&quot; setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\bradvisor_login_api\index.php on line <i>163</i></th></tr>

With those mail settings, emails will only work if you have an SMTP server installed locally. PHP does not come with a mailer server.

 

I recommend you use something like PHPMailer or SwitfMailer and configure them to use an existing SMTP service (such as gmail) for sending emails.

I am having probemms with connfiguring PHPMailer into my project folder. I have downloalded the full phpmailer file into my www folder, called it phpmailer and then I have also created a mailer.php file inside my www folder in wamp server which has allowed me to send out mail, however it does not send out mail from my project folder as it says.

phppmailer.php File

v<?php

require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
 
$mail = new PHPMailer;
 
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'bradvisor15@gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
 
$mail->From = 'bradvisor15@gmail.com';
$mail->FromName = 'BradVisor';
$mail->addAddress('safyannawaz@hotmail.com', 'Anil Nawaz');
 
$mail->addReplyTo('haleema73@hotmail.co.uk', 'Anil Nawaz');
 
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->isHTML(true);
 
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer';
$mail->Body    = 'Hi, Test email';
 
if(!$mail->send()) {
   echo 'Message could not be sent.';
   echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   exit;
}
 
echo 'Message has been sent';

?>

The above works, however I need it to work in my project which does not work at the moment, could you please help or advice.

You would use that code, to replace where you using php's mail() function

 

To have the email sent to the email address the user entered in your registration form, you would pass the variables that contains the users email address and name to the $mail->addAddress() function in your registration code.

Ch0cu3r Could you please advise as I have never done this type of thing before as lamp server comes with mail fucction, however wamp server does not. I have pasted my index.php code below which should send users email once they register, change password or if they have forgotten their password. please could you advise and help.

For example I would replace your following code

$subject = "Change Password Notification";
$message = "Hello User,\n\nYour Password is sucessfully changed.\n\nRegards,\nLearn2Crack Team.";
$from = "contact@learn2crack.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($email,$subject,$message,$headers);

With the following

require_once 'phpmailer.php';

// sets the email subjuct
$mail->Subject = "Change Password Notification";

// sets the body of the email
$mail->Body = "Hello User,\n\nYour Password is sucessfully changed.\n\nRegards,\nLearn2Crack Team.";

// who the email was sent from (your email)
$mail->From = "contact@learn2crack.com";

// the email address you are sending this email to
$mail->addAddress($email);

// make sure email did not return error message
if(!$mail->send())
{
    trigger_error('Unable to send mail! Mail error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo);
}

NOTE: In phpmailer.php you would only want to keep the first 12 lines of code, the rest of the lines will need to be deleted. If you still want the wordwrap and html email format then keep these two lines

$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->isHTML(true);

Have a go at converting the two other instances where you use mail().

Ch0cu3r could you please advise, I have done what you have told me however now i am getting an error on line 216, please help?.

Ok, didn't look at your code properly you posted earlier. Remember you need to be replacing where you use mail() with the phpmailer code, as I suggested in my earlier reply here. You have placed the phpmailer code incorrectly. This is why you are getting email twice.

 

 

I now get a java nullpoint error,

Java? PHP has nothing do with that.

Ch0cu3r forgotten password does not work as it does not send user an email to reset their password, could you please advise. It send an email to my email address rather than the users email.

Edited by james_martin_187

Forgotten password and reset password does now work, however when registerng a new user the application just closes and says an unexpectable errror occrred, giving no errors. Could you please advice. The user does get enterned into the database and they get an email sent, however the application just cloes.

On line 16 change $tag to $_POST['tag']

 

Line 152 send_mail should be send_email

Ch0cu3r,

It is all working fine now, however is it possible to change the email sender to contact@bradvisor.com instead of bradvisor15@gmail.com.

Change the smpt settings, here

$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'bradvisor15@gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'password'; 

to use the account for contact@bradvisor.com

 

I dont have an account called this, I only have a gmail account called bradvisor15@gmail.com
