I have server with IIS. The PHP that I used is 5.3.28 but I did upgrade and today I use PHP 7.0.0 but PHPMailer does not work for this version, but when I configure ISS to 5.3.28 PHPMailer goes back to work.
How to configure for PHPMailer to work in PHP 7.0.0
You've probably downloaded PHPMailer from an unofficial source or from a very old source, so PHP7 has changed a lot, you have to download PHPMailer from the correct source.
Download this link link the last, which should be 6.0.2
Then in your php script add:
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'path/to/PHPMailer/src/Exception.php';
require 'path/to/PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'path/to/PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';
Change
path/toto the path where you saved phpmailer
The rest of the script should look something like this:
$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 = 'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = '[email protected]'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Mailer');
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'Joe User'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]'); // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('[email protected]', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('[email protected]');
$mail->addBCC('[email protected]');
//Attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
//Content
$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';
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
If the account that will send the email via SMTP does not have / support security / encryption then you should add these lines:
$mail->SMTPSecure = false;
$mail->SMTPAutoTLS = false;
And remove this:
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
