PHPMailer

The classic email sending library for PHP

PhpMailer vs. Swiftmailer? [closed]

I'm building a fairly simple php script that will need to send some emails with attachments. I've found these 2 libraries to do this. Does either one have significant advantages over the other? Or should I just pick one at random and be done with it?

Problem with SMTP authentication in PHP using PHPMailer, with Pear Mail works

I´m having trouble sending a e-mail with the PHPMailer class, but it works with PEAR Mail::factory.

I guess the problem is with the SMTP authentication, but I couldn´t find the problem.

The code with problem is:

<?php
require("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();       // set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'mail.xxx.com.br';  // my host here
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'xxx@xxx.com.br';  // a valid email here
$mail->Password = '***';  // the password from email
$mail->From = 'from@xxx.com.br';
$mail->SMTPDebug = true;
$mail->AddReplyTo('from@xxx.com.br', 'Test');

$mail->FromName = 'Test SMTP';
$mail->AddAddress('teste@xxx.com.br', 'teste@xxx.com.br');

$mail->Subject = 'Test SMTP';
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Body = '<b>Teste</b><br><h1>teste 2</h1>';   
//$mail->Send();

if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   exit;
}

?>

The code with PEAR that works is:

<?php
include('Mail.php');
include('Mail/mime.php');

$text = 'Versao em texto';
$html = '<html><body>Versao de email em <b>HTML</b></body></html>';
$crlf = "\n";
$hdrs = array(
              'From'    => 'from@xxx.com.br',
              'Subject' => 'Test  - mail.php'
              );

$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);

$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);

$body = $mime->get();
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);

$mail = Mail::factory('smtp',
  array ('host' => 'mail.xxx.com.br',
    'debug'=> true,
    'auth' => true,
    'username' => 'xxx@xxx.com.br',
    'password' => '***'));

$mail->send('teste@xxx.com.br', $hdrs, $body);
?>

When I run the code with problem with debug activated (SMTPDebug = True) I got:

The Problem
if $email value is only 1. It will send. But multiple don't send. What should I do for this. I know that in mail function you have to separate multiple emails by comma. But not working in phpmailer.

phpmailer: Reply using only "Reply To" address

I'm using phpmailer on my website and to help with spam issues I have created a mailbox to send these emails from (using SMTP).

I have set the emails to come from the mailbox address and then I have added a reply to address for where I want the replies to go to:

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tsl';
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 1;
$mail->Host       = EMAIL_HOST;
$mail->Port       = EMAIL_PORT;
$mail->Username   = EMAIL_USER;
$mail->Password   = EMAIL_PASS;

$mail->SetFrom('mailbox@email.com', 'Mailbox name');
$mail->AddReplyTo('replyto@email.com', 'Reply to name');
$mail->AddAddress('user@email.com', 'User name);

The emails send successfully and seem to get through the spam filters ok, but when I press reply it includes both the mailbox account and the reply to account.

Is this what is meant to happen? I only want the reply to address to appear when you press reply. Is this even possible?

Many thanks in advance for any help offered!


Edit:

Looking at the email headers it seems like the from address is getting included in the reply to field. I have no idea why!

Error handling with PHPMailer

I'm trying to use PHPMailer for a small project, but I'm a bit confused about error handling with this software. Hoping someone has experience with it. When I've set up an email and I use:

$result = $mail->Send();

if(!$result) {
    // There was an error
    // Do some error handling things here
} else {
    echo "Email successful";
}

Which works fine, more or less. The problem is when there's an error, PHPMailer also seems to echo the error out, so if there's a problem, it just sends that info directly to the browser, essentially breaking any error handling I"m trying to do.

Is there a way to silence these messages? Its not throwing an exception, its just printing out the error, which in my test case is:

invalid address: @invalid@email You must provide at least one recipient email address.

Its meant to be an error, but it should be residing in $mail->ErrorInfo; not being echo'd out by the software.

PHPMailer: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host

I've used PHPMailer on several projects but now I'm stuck. It gives me the error:
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
I've tried sending email from Thunderbird and it works ! But not through PHPMailer ... Here are the settings from Thunderbird:

Server name: mail.exampleserver.com
Port: 587
Username: user@exampleserver.com
Secure Authentication: No
Connection Security: STARTTLS

I've compared these with the server at my last project where I used PHPMailer and they were:

Server name: mail.exampleserver2.com
Port: 465
Username: user@exampleserver2.com
Secure Authentication: No
Connection Security: SSL/TLS

My php code is:

 $mail = new PHPMailer();
 $mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
 $mail->Host = SMTP_HOST; // SMTP servers
 $mail->Port = SMTP_PORT; // SMTP servers
 $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
 $mail->Username = SMTP_USER; // SMTP username
 $mail->Password = SMTP_PASSWORD; // SMTP password
 $mail->From = MAIL_SYSTEM;
 $mail->FromName = MAIL_SYSTEM_NAME;
 $mail->AddAddress($aSecuredGetRequest['email']);
 $mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML

Where I am wrong?

"Password not accepted from server: 535 Incorrect authentication data" when sending with GMail and phpMailer

I have the same php script running on localhost - my PC with XAMPP and on a hosted server. It works from my PC, but not from the hosted server.

When I send it from the hosted server, I get the following output:

SMTP -> ERROR: Password not accepted from server: 535 Incorrect authentication data

I suspect there is a configuration setting that needs to be changed on the server, but I don't know which one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

phpmailer - The following SMTP Error: Data not accepted

I'm trying to figure out this issue for 6 hours. But there is nothing to make sense. Here is the scenario; There is a well formatted HTML template.

$mail_body = '
    <b>Message Num :</b> 769<br />
    <b>Message Date :</b> 2013-04-08 09:03:21<br />
    <b>Name :</b> John Doe<br />
    <b>Phone :</b> 123456789<br />
    <b>E-mail :</b> abcdf@somedomain.com<br />
    <b>Message :</b> Here is the message info<br />
';

Here is the array of recipients' mails;

$recipients = array("abc@something.com","xyz@somtehing.com");

Everything looks fine and email ready to send.Here is the phpmailer config;

$mail = new PHPMailer(); 
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->From = "noreply@something.com"; 
$mail->FromName = "TEST";
$mail->WordWrap = 50;

foreach($recipients as $mail_add) {
    $mail->AddAddress($mail_add);
}
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = "TEST Subject";
$mail->Body = $mail_body;
if(!$mail->Send()) {
    echo $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else { 
        echo "Mail sent...";
}

Everything is same when I test it. But sometimes email was sent. Sometimes it was not sent. Give me the following error : The following SMTP Error: Data not accepted.

Gmail SMTP debug: error "please log in via your web browser"

Im having problems with gmail smtp server. I already read many posts here in StackOverflow about that subject.

The best post i found about test the connection is this one.

Although it is very well explained the error im getting i couldnt find a answer: Google SMTP just says "Please log in via your web browser and then try again". Im completely sure that the password and the email (both in base64) are well encoded.

As you can see here, in this image:

this image,

there is just one difference i can notice: the user@gmail.com and password is sent in two steps. In the link above the guy sends both at the same time. Google didnt accepted that. But the fact is, i write auth login Y29udGF0... (user in base64, googles responds: ) 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 (wich means "Password: ") YzQ2MjJmNWVi.... (paste my password in base64 and hit "enter")

Then Goggle says: Please log in via your web browser and then try again. 534-5.7.14 Learn more at https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=787

And, by the way, that page is 404.

And im going throgh all this problem because @MediaTemple and @DreamHost are not working with PHPMailer. I already use PHPMailer for a long time ago, in so many different hosts, using SMTP but failed with (mt) and Dreamhost. Now im in middle of a project that it >must< work on these two hosts.

Any help is very appreciate.

Thank you.

phpMailer - How do you Remove Recipients

There are a lot of StackOverflow questions on this topic, but I couldn't find one that was able to help with the issue I'm having. The script that I'm writing sends out multiple emails to various recipients with different message contents.

I can get this working by re-initializing the phpMailer object multiple times, but what I'd like to be able to do is create the object a single time, and then re-assign the following fields:

$mail->AddAddress($email);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->IsHTML(false);
$mail->Body = $message;

That way I can just run those four lines of code and then send the mail out, again and again, as many times as necessary. The Subject, IsHTML, and Body fields are easily changed, so the problem I'm having is in the AddAddress function.

As you can probably guess, after I send out the first email, changing recipients for future emails will result in those stacking onto the current list of recipients.

To put it simply, how can I remove the email addresses associated with my $mail object so that I can assign them each time while removing the old addresses?

Is there another function besides AddAddress that I can use that will just assign the addresses?

Send File Attachment from Form Using phpMailer and PHP

I have a form on example.com/contact-us.php that looks like this (simplified):

<form method="post" action="process.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" name="uploaded_file" id="uploaded_file" />
  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10000000" />
</form>

In my process.php file, I have the following code utilizing PHPMailer() to send an email:

require("phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->From     = me@example.com;
$mail->FromName = My name;
$mail->AddAddress(me@example.com,"John Doe");

$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->IsHTML(true);

$mail->Subject  =  "Contact Form Submitted";
$mail->Body     =  "This is the body of the message.";

The email sends the body correctly, but without the Attachment of uploaded_file.

MY QUESTION

I need the file uploaded_file from the form to be attached to the email, and sent. I do NOT care about saving the file after the process.php script sends it in an email.

I understand that I need to add AddAttachment(); somewhere (I'm assuming under the Body line) for the attachment to be sent. But...

  1. What do I put at the top of the process.php file to pull in the file uploaded_file? Like something using $_FILES['uploaded_file'] to pull in the file from the contact-us.php page?
  2. What goes inside of AddAttachment(); for the file to be attached and sent along with the email and where does this code need to go?

Please help and provide code!Thanks!

PHPMailer character encoding issues

I try to use PHPMailer to send registration, activation. etc mail to users:

require("class.phpmailer.php");  
$mail -> charSet = "UTF-8";
$mail = new PHPMailer();  
$mail->IsSMTP();  
$mail->Host     = "smtp.mydomain.org";  
$mail->From     = "name@mydomain.org";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; 
$mail->Username ="username"; 
$mail->Password="passw"; 
//$mail->FromName = $header;
$mail->FromName = mb_convert_encoding($header, "UTF-8", "auto");
$mail->AddAddress($emladd);
$mail->AddAddress("mytest@gmail.com");
$mail->AddBCC('mytest2@mydomain.org', 'firstadd');
$mail->Subject  = $sub;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->WordWrap = 50;  
if(!$mail->Send()) {  
   echo 'Message was not sent.';  
   echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;  
}

The $message is contain latin characters. Unfortunatelly all webmail (gmail, webmail.mydomain.org, emailaddress.domain.xx) use different coding.

How can i force to use UTF-8 coding to show my mail exactly same on all mailbox? I try to convert the mail header width mb_convert_encoding(), but with no luck.

Thank you.
