I have Swift/symfony mail installed and sample code setup.

When I require_once to a working PHP page, the page becomes blank in a browser, If i remove it from the require the website works. Lints can't find any errors or syntax issues in the code. Its on gitlab.

What should i do? Below is the page where I send an email out and the environment I am in

Ubuntu

PHP7

SwiftMail 6.0^

 

<?php
require_once '/vendor/autoload.php';
session_start();
// Create the Transport
$transport = (new Swift_SmtpTransport('localhost', 465))
    ->setUsername(noreply@example.com)
    ->setPassword(password);

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

function sendVerificationEmail($email, $token)
{
    global $mailer;
    $body = '<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">

    <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
      <title>Test mail</title>

    </head>

    <body>
      <div class="wrapper">
        <p>Thank you for signing up on our site. Please click on the link below to verify your account:.</p>
        <a href="https://tadoo.club/verify-email.php?token=' . $token . '">Verify Email!</a>
      </div>
    </body>

    </html>';

    // Create a message
    $message = (new Swift_Message('Verify your email'))
        ->setFrom(noreply@example.com)
        ->setTo($email)
        ->setBody($body, 'text/html');

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



?>

A blank page means a fatal PHP error. What do your server error logs say?

Sorry about the slow reply, I checked and its this

 

"AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '@', expecting ')' in /var/www/vhosts/tadoo.club/httpdocs/sendEmails.php on line 6'"

Was I not meant to use @ in an user email address?

Great.

->setUsername(noreply@example.com)

That email address in there is supposed to be a string. That means it needs quotes. See how '/vendor/autoload.php' and 'localhost' and 'Verify your email' are? Those are also strings.

The password in

->setPassword(password)

also needs to be a string, but it could be that you removed your password and replaced it with that just for the post, so for all I know the version you have in front of you is already a string.

Ahh I see.. I thought it was weird when the example had no quotes.  I think this should do the trick.

 

Thank you so much!

The example might have been using a constant. Those are pre-defined values like

define('USERNAME', 'noreply@example.com');
// or
const USERNAME = 'noreply@example.com';

In the first one, the constant is created with a function, and the name of the constant needs to be a string because it's passed as a value to the define() function.
The second one shows a special syntax for creating constants, where the name of the constant doesn't have to be a string because that's how the syntax works: name of constant = value of constant.

Note that for both of those syntaxes, the email value is still a string.
