PHP Mailer Help

[misslilbit02]

Hey guys,

 

I've been trying to send an email with an attachment from a form all day. It's just isn't working. So I resorted to PHPmailer. The code executes but no mail is coming. It does return the message "Message has been sent" Can someone help me please?

 

 

<?php
require("C:\php\includes\class.phpmailer.php");
require("C:\php\includes\phpmailer.lang-en.php");
$mail=new PHPMailer();

@extract($_POST);

$langauge2 = implode(', ',$langauge);
$areas2 = implode(', ',$areas);

//$mail->IsSMTP();
//$mail->Host = "localhost";
$mail->Subject="Writing Submittal";
$mail->WordWrap=50;
$mail->From = $email;
$mail->AddAddress("[email protected]");
$mail->FromName = $name;


$mail->Body = "
Name: $name

Student ID: $student_id 

Email address: $email

Home Campus: $campus

Course Title and Number: $course_title_and_no

Is this an online course: $online_course

Professor's Name: $professor

Due Date: $month / $day / $year

What languages do you speak: $langauge2

Have you already taken Composition I (ENC1101): $taken

Writing Title: $title

Assignment Given by Instructor: $assignment

Required length of assignment: $length

Other length if not listed above: $other_length

Two areas where student would like to have feedback: $areas2";



// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt      = $_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['upfile']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['upfile']['name'];

$headers = "From: $email";

if (is_uploaded_file($fileatt)) 
{
  		// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
  		$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
  		$data = fread($file, filesize($fileatt));
	$uploadDir=basename($_FILES['upfile']['name']);
	// Attach file
	//$mail->AddStringAttachment($data, $fileatt);
	$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadDir);

  		fclose($file);
}


if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo "Message was not sent";
   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
   echo "Message has been sent";
}

is your spam filter catching it?

[Glyde]

Linux or Windows?

SMTP or Sendmail?

[misslilbit02]

No the spam filter isn't catching it and it's a windows server. We use SMTP.

You have to tell PHPMailer that you use SMTP, then.

Try adding

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtphost";
$mail->Username = "smtpusername";
$mail->Password = "smtppassword";

Somewhere before you execute $mail->Send() and see if that fixes your problem.

I did that before and got all these errors:

 

PHP Warning: PHPMailer::include_once(class.smtp.php) [function.PHPMailer-include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\php\includes\class.phpmailer.php on line 460 PHP Warning: PHPMailer::include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'class.smtp.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;\php\includes') in C:\php\includes\class.phpmailer.php on line 460 PHP Fatal error: Class 'SMTP' not found in C:\php\includes\class.phpmailer.php on line 527 

 

I don't even have a line 527.

 

but this is what was there:

$mail->IsSMTP();

$mail->Host = "tim";

class.phpmailer.php is generating the error, not your script.  The error is generated because it can't find class.smtp.php, which should come packaged with PHPMailer.  Go to http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net and redownload the package, or locate class.smtp.php and move it in the same directory with PHPMailer.  Additionally, $mail->Host shouldn't be a username (because that's how it appears right now).  If it is a valid name (by valid I mean that it backtraces to a valid IP address), then fine, but it seems like you're using a username where a host should be, I.E:

$mail->Host = "localhost";

or

$mail->Host = "smtp.myserver.com";
