Yes, you can use phpmail with gmail SMTP

But when I add php mailer into the page…it’s perfectly working fine in the local server…but when I upload to server…the page containing the code didn’t show it’s self

Can you access it by removing https and trying http if it initially shows https?

require_once("mail/class.PHPMailer.php");

 

function reg($email,$rand)

{             

$mail = new PHPMailer();

 

//$mail->IsSMTP();                                      // set mailer to use SMTP

$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;  // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only

                $mail->SMTPAuth = true;  // authentication enabled

                $mail->SMTPSecure = 'TLS'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail

                $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';

                $mail->Port = 25;      // turn on SMTP authentication

$mail->Username = "abdulsatharpss";  // SMTP username

#8

Your port seems wrong for SMTP although I could be wrong?

#9

Before I checked all the port’s …not working

Is there any option to enable SMTP mail sending ini php

#10

It will be enabled what errors do you get?

#11

No error msgs…
The same code used in local host…on server it shows blank page…

#12

So the script doesn’t even come up at all?
Which page is this hosted at?

#13

https://pppf.000webhostapp.com/register.php

#14

So is that the error you get 500? Or does the page sometimes load or what?

#15

With the php mailer code …it will not work…if i remove that code. The other parts works…
With the mail code the page does not show anything

#16

What does it look like on localhost when you load it?

Can you zip it and upload to your site and link it here just so I can load onto my free hosting and premium to see if it appears?

Any update sir???please help me

#19

I tried it both on free and premium and both encountered 500 error I have not yet investigated the cause at the moment but I have a working sendmail script on both free and premium so would suggest the issue is with the code obviously.

#20

Can u upload the working code ???

[code]<?php
//if “email” variable is filled out, send email
if (isset($_REQUEST[‘email’])) {

//Email information
$admin_email = "someone@example.com";
$email = $_REQUEST[‘email’];
$subject = $_REQUEST[‘subject’];
$comment = $_REQUEST[‘comment’];

//send email
mail($admin_email, “$subject”, $comment, “From:” . $email);
