I am trying to implement a form on my website - and make a PHPMailer send the content to my email address. I followed the directions from this website: https://www.codingsnow.com/2021/01/create-php-send-email-contact-form.html
But its not working. I tried different email addresses, I tried tls and other ports and many more - nothing. Its alway the same: When I click the submit button, nothing happens. There's neither a success nor a failed echo.
I could really need some help!
This is the form code:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Contact</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Vkoo8x4CGsO3+Hhxv8T/Q5PaXtkKtu6ug5TOeNV6gBiFeWPGFN9MuhOf23Q9Ifjh" crossorigin="anonymous">
<style type="text/css">
input, textarea {
margin-top: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container" style="margin-top:100px;">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3" align="center">
<input id="name" placeholder="Name" class="form-control">
<input id="email" placeholder="Email" class="form-control">
<input id="subject" placeholder="Subject" class="form-control">
<textarea class="form-control" id="body" placeholder="Email Body"></textarea>
<input type="button" onclick="sendEmail()" value="Send an Email" class="btn btn-primary"></type>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sendEmail() {
console.log('sending...');
var name = $("#name");
var email = $("#email");
var subject = $("#subject");
var body = $("#body");
if (isNotEmpty(name) && isNotEmpty(email) && isNotEmpty(subject) && isNotEmpty(body)) {
$.ajax({
url: 'sendEmail.php',
method: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: {
name: name.val(),
email: email.val(),
body: body.val()
}, success: function (response) {
console.log(response)
}
});
}
}
function isNotEmpty(caller) {
if (caller.val() === "") {
caller.css('border', '1px solid red');
return false;
} else {
caller.css('border', '');
}
return true;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
And this is the sendEmail.php:
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
if(isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['email'])){
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$body = $_POST['body'];
require_once "PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php";
require_once "PHPMailer/SMTP.php";
require_once "PHPMailer/Exception.php";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
//smtp settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "mymail#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = 'mypassword';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
//email settings
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->setFrom($email, $name);
$mail->addAddress("mymail#gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = ("$email ($subject)");
$mail->Body = $body;
if($mail->send()){
$status = "success";
$response = "Email is sent!";
}
else
{
$status = "failed";
$response = "Something is wrong: <br>" . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
exit(json_encode(array("status" => $status, "response" => $response)));
}
if ($mail->send()) {
$status = "success";
echo "Email is sent!";
} else {
$status = "failed";
echo "Something is wrong: <br><br>" . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
Thank you for your time and knowledge!
Andre
P.S.: #Merchizm: Thanks, I have changed the code, now it looks like this:
<?php
require_once "PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php";
require_once "PHPMailer/SMTP.php";
require_once "PHPMailer/Exception.php";
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
if(isset.... and so on
Is this, what you mean?
I also added the jQuery to the head of the html file like this:
<script src="jquery-3.3.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery30102019.js"></script>
But nevertheless, it is not working. Still the same issue.
Do you have another idea?
Thanks Andre
The JQuery library is not included in the html file, the request may not be going because of this.
Require files before using class.
require_once __DIR__. "/PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php";
require_once __DIR__."/PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php";
require_once __DIR__."/PHPMailer/src/Exception.php";
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
I think these will solve your problem.

Troubleshooting email deliverability is tricky mostly due to the lack of details about the inner workings of anti-spam features at the main email service providers (Gmail, Msn, mail.com, Yahoo etc.). The main aspect of good email deliverability is usually your domain reputation. If you are just starting out with a new email domain most receiving services tend to be sceptic towards your first xx number of emails.
If your email contains invalid or poor html it will up the spam score. If you add attachments to it will certainly up the score.
I figure your emails without attachments are just below the threshold for ending up in the spam folder. When adding an attachment it gets just above the same threshold.
Most services also apply per-user rules, so the handling of your emails can be treated differently between receivers within the same service.
As a step in troubleshooting if PHPmailer is responsible for the poor delivery, I suggest setting up an email client like Mozilla Thunderbird and sending some emails from there.
That will help you figure out the source of the deliverability of your emails.
If you want to avoid thinking about deliverability you can spin up an account with SMTP services like Mailgun.

edit: I wrote a detailed post on how to post data from Ionic to PHP and you can view it here.
In the index.html file you have:
ng-click="signUp(userdata)
but then in the app.js file you have this:
$scope.signup = function () {
instead of something like:
$scope.signup = function (userdata) {
If you would go this route then your data should look like this:
data: {
email: userdata.email,
password: userdata.password,
username: userdata.username
}
However, you don't have to do it like this! You can do it like so that you remove the userdata from ng-click="signUp(userdata) and then in the app.js file in the data part you do it like this:
data: {
email: $scope.userdata.email,
password: $scope.userdata.password,
username: $scope.userdata.username
}
I have created a contact form that sends an email to the website administrator and to the person who filled out the contact form. It was working fine and I have just come back to it to do some more testing and it has stopped sending. To my knowledge I've not changed any of the code. I can't figure out what is wrong with it. Can someone help? Below is the code for the three files I'm using.
This is the contact form file:

I have a login form with three inputs - username, password and submit with validation.
If either username or password are empty then validation fails correctly.
However in Chrome I cannot resubmit the form - clicking submit has no effect.
In IE and Firefox it works fine.

$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('layout_nomenu');
$loginForm = new Application_Form_Login();

if ($loginForm->isValid($request->getPost())) {
$valid = false;
if ($valid) {
//if ($this->_process($loginForm->getValues())) {
$this->_helper->redirector('users', 'grid');
} else {
$this->view->loginfail = "Login details not recognised, please try again";
}
}

Login form:
class Application_Form_Login extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/forms.ini', 'login');
$this->setOptions($config->toArray());
//$this->addElement('hash', 'no_csrf_foo', array('salt' => 'unique'));
}
}
The html is very simple - no js etc. :

maybe try it a little simpler and see what happens:
public function loginAction()
{
$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('layout_nomenu');
$loginForm = new Application_Form_Login();
$request = $this->getRequest();
if ($request->isPost()) {
if ($loginForm->isValid($request->getPost())) {
$this->_helper->redirector('users', 'grid'); //go here if valid
} else {
//go here if not valid
$this->view->loginfail = "Login details not recognised, please try again";
}
}
//if not post show form
$this->view->login = $loginForm;
}
I have to wonder if that extra loop might be causing a problem in some instances.
I'm trying to figure this stuff out as I'm going so some expert help and advice would be appreciated. I have a form - using jQuery and Ajax, at the moment I dont know whats working - like if I submit it echos back the data input (only one field - still need to figure out how to add more to the code) but nothing comes through to my email. Am I supposed to link it to some other PHP validation script or can it all be in one place?
Here is a link to the test space: www.bgv.co.za/testspace/contactos.php
Here is the PHP: (my syntax is probably off) - Its a combination of Validation and AJAX stuff - file is called: post.php
<?php
$subject = "Website Contact Form Enquiry";
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
//Check to make sure that the name field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['contactname']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$name = trim($_POST['contactname']);
}
//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
if(trim($_POST['email']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+#[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['email']))) {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
}
//Check to make sure comments were entered
if(trim($_POST['message']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
if(function_exists('stripslashes')) {
$comments = stripslashes(trim($_POST['message']));
} else {
$comments = trim($_POST['message']);
}
}
//If there is no error, send the email
if(!isset($hasError)) {
$emailTo = 'info#bgv.co.za'; //Put your own email address here
$body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nComments:\n $comments";
$headers = 'From: My Site <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;
mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
$emailSent = true;
}
}
sleep(3);
if (empty($_POST['email'])) {
$return['error'] = true;
$return['msg'] = 'You did not enter you email.';
}
else {
$return['error'] = false;
$return['msg'] = 'You\'ve entered: ' . $_POST['email'] . '.';
}
echo json_encode($return);
?>
Here is the JS file (Called: ajaxSubmit)
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#submit').click(function() {
$('#waiting').show(500);
$('#contactform').hide(0);
$('#message').hide(0);
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'post.php',
dataType : 'json',
data: {
email : $('#email').val()
},
success : function(data){
$('#waiting').hide(500);
$('#message').removeClass().addClass((data.error === true) ? 'error' : 'success')
.text(data.msg).show(500);
if (data.error === true)
$('#contactform').show(500);
},
error : function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
$('#waiting').hide(500);
$('#message').removeClass().addClass('error')
.text('There was an error.').show(500);
$('#contactform').show(500);
}
});
return false;
});
});

Please help me, I've spent the whole weekend trying to find a way to do this. Everytime I feel like I get somewhere and it amounts to nothing... I'm no programmer I dont understand how all of this works but I am learning and just really need to know how to do it. Thank you
Sorted by adding this to the PHP file >
//If there is no error, send the email
if(!isset($hasError)) {
$emailTo = 'info#bgv.co.za'; //Put your own email address here
$body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nComments:\n $comments";
$headers = 'From: My Site <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;
mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
$emailSent = true;
}
and this >
$subject = "Website Contact Form Enquiry";
$return['error'] = false;
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$comments = trim($_POST['message']);
hey looks like I'm learning how this stuff works!
