PHPMailer error?

[lukeurtnowski]

I'm trying to send an email from my php page to my email addresss (gmail). When I run the page, I get this error.
Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: [e-mail]
Should I debug or just use swiftmailer?
Thanks

Hi,

Maybe you could post the code that's generating the error?

Sorry, here

require("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsHTML(true);                               // send as HTML 
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server

$mail->Username = "admin1sdasp";
$mail->Password = "dragon0";

$mail->From = $ASP_Email;
$mail->FromName = $ASP_Name;
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]", "SDASP Administrator");

$mail->Subject = "SDASP PROVIDER APPLICATION";

$message = "These are the values that a user has tried to submit<br />";
$message .= '<form method=post action="http://testing.scasp.com/update_table_provider.php"><br />';
$message .= 'ASP Real Name: <input type="text" name="Real_Name" value="' . $Real_Name . '"><br />';
...
$message .= 'Review URL: <input type="text" name="Reviews_URL" value="' . $Reviews_URL . '"><br />';
$message .= 'ASP Attire: <input type="text" name="Attire" value="' . $Attire . '"><br />';
$message .= 'Who Am I: <input type="text" name="Who" value="' . $Who . '"><br />';
$message .= 'Attachment 1: <input type="text" name="Image1" value="' . $Image1 . '"><br />';
$message .= 'Attachment 2: <input type="text" name="Image2" value="' . $Image2 . '"><br />';
$message .= 'Attachment 3: <input type="text" name="Image3" value="' . $Image3 . '"><br />';
$message .= 'Attachment 4: <input type="text" name="Image4" value="' . $Image4 . '"><br />';
$message .= 'Attachment 5: <input type="text" name="Image5" value="' . $Image5 . '"><br />';
$message .= 'Attachment 6: <input type="text" name="Image6" value="' . $Image6 . '"><br />';

$mail->Body = $message;
//add atttachments
$mail->AddAttachment($Image1_name);
$mail->AddAttachment($Image2_name);
$mail->AddAttachment($Image3_name);
$mail->AddAttachment($Image4_name);
$mail->AddAttachment($Image5_name);
$mail->AddAttachment($Image6_name); 

if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo "<p>Message was not sent</p>";
   echo "<p>Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo."</p>";
   echo "<p>Please notify admin at [e-mail]</p>";
}
else
{
   echo "<p>Message has been sent, please allow 24 hours for you web site to be up, thank you.</p>";
}

Thanks

Hi,

I know that error message very well. It is somewhat vague and caused by the line that tries to send the mail at all. It means that the mail couldn't be sent because of "whatever". phpmailer doesn't write which action failed exactly, just that something went wrong.

Since phpmailer supports multiple languages the language string error in fact is an additional error message that means that phpmailer couldn't find the language file.
But that error has no relation to the failure itself.

In your case I noticed that you use gmail as smtp host. GMAIL need TLS for SMTP authentication. Unfortunately, phpmailer AFAIK doesn't support TLS.

But there's another library called swift mailer. Read this thread to get an idea about how to send mail using gmail as smtp server.

ok, (man I've been trying soo many things, but hopefully swift is the final)
Is this ok?

require('Swift.php');
require('Swift/Swift_SMTP_Connection.php'); 
//Specify secure TLS when we make the connection
$swift = new Swift(new Swift_SMTP_Connection('smtp.gmail.com', 465, SWIFT_TLS));


//Log in to the server
$swift->authenticate('[e-mail]', 'dragon01');

if (!$swift->hasFailed())

if (!$swift->hasFailed())

$swift->send(
    '$ASP_Name <$ASP_Email>',

    '"Administrator" <[e-mail]>',

    'SDASP PROVIDER APLICATION',

$message;
   );

$swift->close();

}

That is something I just threw together. Is it ok that i've used a php variable for the message body?
Thanks

[tsinka]

Ok,

very much code. I don't know if this works but to test swift mailer I'd suggest to create a simple test script that just tries to send a short html (or standard text) mail.
Or just try to send the mail with the script you posted. Either it works or not.

One thing I forgot to mention: You need to enable the openssl extension because that extension adds TLS support to PHP.

The online documentation contains a small example showing how to send a mail that contains both a plain text and a html version of the body. That should be a good starting point.

How do I enabel openssl extension?
Thanks

[tsinka]

Create a script that contains the following code:

<?PHP
phpinfo();
?>

If the output contains an openssl section then the openssl extension is already enabled.
What type of server do you have (dedicated/shared host, OS/version) ?

Thomas

[lukeurtnowski]

its a dedicated server.
I couldnt find it
http://www.scasp.com/phpinfo.php
Found it, its enabled!

[lukeurtnowski]

I uploaded the 2 include files and now I get this error?
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/scaspco/public_html/testing/Swift.php on line 68
http://www.scasp.com/testing/Swift.php

[tsinka]

The following part of the code contains an error:

if (!$swift->hasFailed())
{

$swift->send(
    '$ASP_Name <$ASP_Email>',

    '"Administrator" <[e-mail]>',

    'SDASP PROVIDER APLICATION',

$message;
   );

$swift->close();

}

Remove the semicolon just behind $message

Thomas

[lukeurtnowski]

thanks
That just seemed to half-work (I got another error message)
I just put my whole php file in a zip file for you to take a look at, and I took a screenshot of the error.
Please take a look at both, thanks a lot

[tsinka]

I noticed that you use $mail->addAttachment to add the attachments. Shouldn't that be $swift->addAttachment ?

$swift->addAttachment(...);
// instead of
$mail->addAttachment(...);

Thomas

[lukeurtnowski]

k, thanks, attached is the new php page, which seems to not work as only the html is seen.
Thanks Thomas

[tsinka]

What exactly do you mean with "only the html is seen". Are the attachments missing ?

Thomas

[lukeurtnowski]

Oh, I mean no mail gets sent the form (when submitted ) goes to the next page (although it takes a while, but none of the php seems to get run and only the html is seen on the next page, when if the mail was sent, I have a sucess message apear.
But I sent an email to my host asking him to do the openssl thing for me.

[tsinka]

I sent you a PM
