i am having some trouble with phpmailer and ajax. Im quite new to ajax and dont fully understand it yet so this might have a quite obvious fix but here we go.
So when i just put my php mailer script in a page and visit it with set values i can send the mail. but whenever i try to send my form data to the script something doesnt work.
This is my jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".contact-form").on("submit",function(e){
e.preventDefault();
function validateEmail($email) {
var emailReg = /^([\w-\.]+#([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/;
return emailReg.test( $email );
}
var valid = true;
if(!$("#name").val()) {
$("#userEmail").css('border','2px solid #FFFFDF');
valid = false;
}
if( !validateEmail($(' #email').val())) {
valid = false
}
if(!$("#subject").val()) {
$("#subject").css('border','2px solid #FFFFDF');
valid = false;
}
if(!$("#message").val()) {
$("#message").css('border','2px solid #FFFFDF');
valid = false;
}
//send data to php file
var isValid;
isValid = valid
if(isValid) {
var name = $("#name").val();
var email = $("#email").val();
var subject = $("#subject").val();
var message = $("#message").val();
jQuery.ajax({
url: "includes/sendmail.inc.php",
type : "POST",
data:{name:name,email:email,subject:subject,message:message},
success:function(data){
$(".err_msg").text("Send!");
$(".err_msg").css('background-color', 'green')
$(".err_msg").show()
},
error:function (){}
});
} else {
$(".err_msg").text("Oops! check your input.");
$(".err_msg").css('background-color', 'red')
$(".err_msg").show()
}
});
});
This is my php
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
// These must be at the top of your script, not inside a function

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$name = $_POST['name'];
$mail = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Instantiation and passing `true` enables exceptions
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(

$mail->Port = 587 ; // TCP port to connect to, use 465 for `PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS` above
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom( $email , $name);
$mail->addAddress('example#example.com', 'John Doe'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addReplyTo($email , $name);
// Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
so this is what i have so far i hope you guys can figure out what i did wrong because i have been stuck on this for about two days now.
greetz Floris
yes i figured it out guys thanks ! so what went wrong is that for some reason it wouldnt send because the FROM email adress was a gmail account and i am using my own domain smtp that was causing it appearantly
I have the following issue: I have a contact form on my Bootstrap 4 .html website. The form is a simple form based on PHPMailer with Bootstrap validator. Previously I received the emails from my contact form without SMTP and everything was fine. Now I decided to use Gmail SMTP and changed my code. I'm receiving the messages to my gmail inbox but I see the errors on the website as soon as the letter is sent.
Could, you, please, let me know where my problem is? I broke my head trying to solve the problem.
ajax.js file:
$(document).ready(function() {
function submitForm(){
var name =$("input[name=name]").val();
var email =$("input[name=email]").val();
var comment =$("textarea[name=comment]").val();
var captcha=grecaptcha.getResponse();
var form = $('form')[0];
var formData = new FormData(form);
formData.append('name', name );
formData.append('email', email );
formData.append('comment', comment );
formData.append('captcha', captcha );
$.ajax({
url: "include/ajax/send.php",
type: "POST",
contentType: false,
processData: false,
data: formData,
cache: false,
success : function(text){
if (text == "success"){
formSuccess();
} else {
formError();
submitMSG(false,text);
}
}
});
}
php file:
// send email
$mail = new PHPMailer;
// Email Template
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
// use
// $mail->Host = gethostbyname('smtp.gmail.com');
// if your network does not support SMTP over IPv6
//Set the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS, a.k.a. RFC4409 SMTP submission
$mail->Port = 465;
//Set the encryption system to use - ssl (deprecated) or tls
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Username to use for SMTP authentication - use full email address for gmail
$mail->Username = "xxx#gmail.com";
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = "xxx";
/* Replace the email address and the Email Subject */
$EmailTo = "xxx#gmail.com"; // The Send To Email
$Subject= "New Message"; // Email Subject

$formGoogleCaptcha = $captcha;
//check Catptcha
$response=file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=".$reCaptchaSecretKey."&response=".$formGoogleCaptcha."&remoteip=".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$obj = json_decode($response);
if ($obj->success == 1 || $obj->success == true) {
$email_body="";
$email_body = $email_body . "<strong>First Name: </strong>" . $name . "\r\n\r\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "<strong>Email: </strong>" . $email . "\r\n\r\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "<strong>Message: </strong>" . $comment . "\r\n\r\n";
$email_body = nl2br($email_body);
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
I also attached an error example
Thank you in advance, mates.
What you're seeing is debug output, which is appearing because you have debug output enabled. Change this:
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
to
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
Note that you turn it off early in your script, but then turn it on again later.
A separate problem is that you're using a very old version of PHPMailer. Get the latest.
I am using PHP on a website and I want to add emailing functionality.
I have WampServer installed.
How do I send an email using PHP?
It's possible using PHP's mail() function. Remember the mail function will not work on a local server.
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Reference:
mail
You could also use PHPMailer class at https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer .
It allows you to use the mail function or use an smtp server transparently. It also handles HTML based emails and attachments so you don't have to write your own implementation.
The class is stable and it is used by many other projects like Drupal, SugarCRM, Yii, and Joomla!
Here is an example from the page above:
<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'user#example.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
$mail->From = 'from#example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
$mail->addAddress('joe#example.net', 'Joe User'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('ellen#example.com'); // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc#example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc#example.com');
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // Set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
If you are interested in html formatted email, make sure to pass Content-type: text/html; in the header. Example:
// multiple recipients
$to = 'aidan#example.com' . ', '; // note the comma
$to .= 'wez#example.com';
// subject
$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';
// message
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
';
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary#example.com>, Kelly <kelly#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive#example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck#example.com' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
For more details, check php mail function.
Also look into the PEAR mail package Pear Mail Page
It seems to be a little more robust than the standard mail() function that is built in (if the standard function isn't adequate).
Here is an excerpt from this page showing how it is used. PEAR Mail send() usage
<?php
include('Mail.php');
$recipients = 'joe#example.com';
$headers['From'] = 'richard#example.com';
$headers['To'] = 'joe#example.com';
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$body = 'Test message';
$smtpinfo["host"] = "smtp.server.com";
$smtpinfo["port"] = "25";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = "smtp_user";
$smtpinfo["password"] = "smtp_password";
// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo);
$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
?>
For most projects, I use Swift mailer these days. It's a very flexible and elegant object-oriented approach to sending emails, created by the same people who gave us the popular Symfony framework and Twig template engine.
Basic usage :
require 'mail/swift_required.php';
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
// The subject of your email
->setSubject('Jane Doe sends you a message')
// The from address(es)
->setFrom(array('jane.doe#gmail.com' => 'Jane Doe'))
// The to address(es)
->setTo(array('frank.stevens#gmail.com' => 'Frank Stevens'))
// Here, you put the content of your email
->setBody('<h3>New message</h3><p>Here goes the rest of my message</p>', 'text/html');
if (Swift_Mailer::newInstance(Swift_MailTransport::newInstance())->send($message)) {
echo json_encode([
"status" => "OK",
"message" => 'Your message has been sent!'
], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
} else {
echo json_encode([
"status" => "error",
"message" => 'Oops! Something went wrong!'
], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
}
See the official documentation for more info on how to use Swift mailer.
The core way to send emails from PHP is to use its built in mail() function, but there are a couple of ready-to-use SDKs which can ease the integration:
Swiftmailer
PHPMailer
Pepipost (works over HTTP hence SMTP port block issue can be avoided)
Sendmail
P.S. I am employed with Pepipost.
For future readers: Try this if other answers don't work (As was the case with me):
1.) Download PHPMailer, open the zip file and extract the folder to your project directory.
3.) Rename the extracted directory to PHPMailer and write the below code inside of your php script (the script must be outside of the PHPMailer folder)
<?php
// PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
// Base files
require 'PHPMailer/src/Exception.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';
// create object of PHPMailer class with boolean parameter which sets/unsets exception.
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try {
$mail->isSMTP(); // using SMTP protocol
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // SMTP host as gmail
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable smtp authentication
$mail->Username = 'sender#gmail.com'; // sender gmail host
$mail->Password = 'password'; // sender gmail host password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // for encrypted connection
$mail->Port = 587; // port for SMTP
$mail->setFrom('sender#gmail.com', "Sender"); // sender's email and name
$mail->addAddress('receiver#gmail.com', "Receiver"); // receiver's email and name
$mail->Subject = 'Test subject';
$mail->Body = 'Test body';
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) { // handle error.
echo 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ', $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
Try this:
<?php
$to = "somebody#example.com";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster#example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: somebodyelse#example.com";
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
?>
this is very basic method to send plain text email using mail function.
<?php
$to = 'SomeOtherEmailAddress#Domain.com';
$subject = 'This is subject';
$message = 'This is body of email';
$from = "From: FirstName LastName <SomeEmailAddress#Domain.com>";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$from);
The native PHP function mail() does not work for me. It issues the message:
503 This mail server requires authentication when attempting to send
to a non-local e-mail address
So, I usually use PHPMailer package
I've downloaded the version 5.2.23 from: GitHub.
I've just picked 2 files and put them in my source PHP root
class.phpmailer.php
class.smtp.php
In PHP, the file needs to be added
require_once('class.smtp.php');
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
After this, it's just code:
require_once('class.smtp.php');
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
...
//----------------------------------------------
// Send an e-mail. Returns true if successful
//
// $to - destination
// $nameto - destination name
// $subject - e-mail subject
// $message - HTML e-mail body
// altmess - text alternative for HTML.
//----------------------------------------------
function sendmail($to,$nameto,$subject,$message,$altmess) {
$from = "yourcontact#yourdomain.com";
$namefrom = "yourname";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->isSMTP(); // by SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // user and password
$mail->Host = "localhost";
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->Username = $from;
$mail->Password = "yourpassword";
$mail->SMTPSecure = ""; // options: 'ssl', 'tls' , ''
$mail->setFrom($from,$namefrom); // From (origin)
$mail->addCC($from,$namefrom); // There is also addBCC
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = $altmess;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->isHTML(); // Set HTML type
//$mail->addAttachment("attachment");
$mail->addAddress($to, $nameto);
return $mail->send();
}
It works like a charm
Full code example..
Try it once..
<?php
// Multiple recipients
$to = 'johny#example.com, sally#example.com'; // note the comma
// Subject
$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';
// Message
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Johny</td><td>10th</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
';
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers[] = 'MIME-Version: 1.0';
$headers[] = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
// Additional headers
$headers[] = 'To: Mary <mary#example.com>, Kelly <kelly#example.com>';
$headers[] = 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday#example.com>';
$headers[] = 'Cc: birthdayarchive#example.com';
$headers[] = 'Bcc: birthdaycheck#example.com';
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, implode("\r\n", $headers));
?>
You can use a mail web service such as Postmark, Sendgrid etc.
Sendgrid vs Postmark vs Amazon SES and other email/SMTP API providers?
Edit: I just use the Google Gmail API now. I had trouble sending reminder email to my employer's organization due to strict filters. But Gmail works as long as you don't spam people.
Sent the Email with this script
<h2>Test Mail</h2>
<?php
if (!isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
?>

The above code is working for me.
Procedure for to send a user password via email using PHPMailer :
Step 1: First, Download PHPMailer Package from GitHub
You can just download the PHPMailer source files and include the required files manually.
You can download the ZIP file with the source code from the PHPMailer homepage[1],
clicking on the “Clone or download” green button (on the right) and then selecting “Download ZIP”.
Unzip the package inside the directory where you want to save the source files.
[1] https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
Step 2: Then, open (From Gmail Address) Google Account and do the following steps:
Disable Two factor password verification in google account.
Turn on Less Security.
Allow third party app.
Step 3: Try to use below Code (Note: Here, I have provided only the functional code for to send a user password via email using PHP and MySQL)
<?php
session_start();
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer; //add use in starting of the code
$db = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', '[Enter your Database Name]'); // connect to database
if (isset($_POST['forgot_btn'])) {
forgotpassword();
}
function forgotpassword(){
global $db;
$user_id = $_POST['user_id'];
$result = mysqli_query($db,"SELECT * FROM users where user_id='$user_id'");
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
$fetch_user_id=$row['user_id'];
$name=$row['name'];
$email_id=$row['email_id'];
$password=$row['password'];
if($user_id==$fetch_user_id) {
require '../PHPMailer/vendor/autoload.php'; //Please correctly mention the PHPMailer installed directory (Don't follow my directory)
$mail = new PHPMailer(TRUE);
try{
$mail->setFrom('[Enter your From Email_Address]', '[Enter Sender Name]');
$mail->addAddress($email_id, $name); //[To Email Address and Name]
$mail->Subject = 'Regarding Forgot Password';
$mail->Body = 'Hi '.$name.',Your Login Password is:'.$password.'';
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Username = '[Enter your From Email_Address]';
$mail->Password = '[Enter your From Email_Address -> Password]';
$mail->Port = 587;
if($mail->send())
{
echo "<script>alert('Password Sent Successfully');</script>";
}
else
{
echo "<script>alert('Please Check Your Internet Connection or From Email Address/Password or Wrong To Email Address');</script>";
}
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
echo "<script>alert('Please Check Your Internet Connection or From Email Address/Password or Wrong To Email Address');</script>";
}
}
}
?>

You can do a TESTE IF you NEED it do it through tinker as the following code
# SSH into droplet
# go to project
$ php artisan tinker
$ Mail::send('errors.401', [], function ($message) { $message->to('emmanuelbarturen#gmail.com')->subject('this works!'); });
# check your mailbox

I tried this in my fast time i had the same issues but after a proper resear i solved it. here is my approach. You have to download the PHPMailer source files and include the required files manually in your project.
You can download the ZIP file with the source code from the PHPMailer homepage1, clicking on the “Clone or download” green button (on the right) and then selecting “Download ZIP”. Unzip the package inside the directory where you want to save the source files.
1 from: GitHub.
Step 2: Then, open (From Gmail Address) Google Account and do the following steps:
Disable Two factor password verification in google account.
Turn on Less Security.
Allow third party app.
There you Go..
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'PHPMailer/src/Exception.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['send'])) {
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = "I am trying";
//Load composer's autoloader
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

I used this method in cPanel and everything worked fine:
<?php
$dest = "destination#domain.tld";
$fromaddy = "cpaneluser#domain.tld";
mail("<$dest>","Test from php mail","Test","From:<$fromaddy>","-f$fromaddy");
?>
$emailTextHtml='<h1>email sent from php use by phpmailer</h1>';
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
//Server settings
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'demo#gmail.com'; // SMTP username of gmail
$mail->Password = '2345678'; // SMTP password of gmail
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('anupam#gmail.com', 'study'); // provide your gmail username
$mail->addAddress('komal#gmail.com', 'study'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addReplyTo('anupamverma#gmail.com', 'Information');
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Register client details and total client details';
$mail->Body= "$emailTextHtml"; //write the html code
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ', $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
I'm trying to get my app run into my if statement but it went down to else statement which is not what I want. callback data is "Pass" which is correct for my if condition but it still ran down to else. Please take a look at my code.
js file
$http.post(path, postdata
).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
//if (data) {
// $scope.PostDataResponse = data;
if (data === "Pass"){
setCookie("Username", $scope.formdata.Username);
setCookie("cafe_id", $scope.formdata.cafe_id);
console.log(getCookie("Username"));
alert("ลงทำเบียนสำเร็จ !");
$location.url('/viewSaveCafeDetail');
//console.log(data);
//alert("สมัครสมาชิกสำเร็จ");
//$scope.insertcafe();
//$scope.sendEmail();
// $scope.reset();
// $scope.getData();
}else{ <--- ran down to else statement
alert(data); <--- callback value is "Pass" which is match with my if condition.

Your PHP file has echo "Pass "; which writes "Pass" followed by a space which you are comparing against the string "Pass" without a space.
In addition, you might also have a blank line at the end of your PHP file which will also be included in the output. This can be worked around by removing the ?> tag from the end.
