Is there any problem with the code listed?

[clanstyles]

what doesn't work? It doesn't send the mail?

[nathanmaxsonadil]

yes

[clanstyles]

EMAIL_FROM_ADDR

EMAIL_FROM_NAME

 

You might want to put some information in there..

 

Lets start with that.

Do you have access to the system logs of your machine?

tail /var/log/httpd (assuming you're running apache) and see what it says.  I just had the issue where my smtp server uses a nonstandard port (standard is 25).  Probably would've never caught it had I not see it complain in the log.

 

The following fixed it.

$mail->Host = "my.smtp.host:port";

 

 

Also, for testing you should use the very simple example code that comes w/ the package.

[nathanmaxsonadil]

It's already done here

 

/**
* Email Constants - these specify what goes in
* the from field in the emails that the script
* sends to users, and whether to send a
* welcome email to newly registered users.
*/
define("EMAIL_FROM_NAME", "noreply");
define("EMAIL_FROM_ADDR", "[email protected]");
define("EMAIL_WELCOME", "true");

I dont know how to do that from cPanel

[nathanmaxsonadil]

Is this a problem with my hosting  ???

[kiss-o-matic]

Possibly.  You might want to ask them.

 

YOu should really try the demo code in the package install though.
