Pandee Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 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.

'">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); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 A blank page means a fatal PHP error. What do your server error logs say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

requinix Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Email addresses definitely have @s in them. Do you happen to be new to PHP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

requinix Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
