PHP - Send form by email [duplicate]

Well I'll show you the way I did using gmail, PHPMailer and WampServer.

1st enable ssl_module in apache. For Enable, open the file httpd.conf of apache and look for the following line in the #LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so file, remove the # to enable.

2º Enable the following extensions in php.ini php_openssl , php_sockets and php_smtp (if it has), in my case it does not. To enable extensions look for them in php.ini and remove ; from the front. The extensions are thus in php.ini ;extension=php_openssl.dll , ;extension=php_sockets.dll .

3rd Download PHPMailer in the GitHub , unzip it and take the following classes:

4ºCode.

require_once('class.phpmailer.php');//chamaaclassedeondevocêacolocou.$mail=newPHPMailer();//instanciaaclassePHPMailer$mail->IsSMTP();//configuraçãodogmail$mail->Port='465';//portausadapelogmail.$mail->Host='smtp.gmail.com';$mail->IsHTML(true);$mail->Mailer='smtp';$mail->SMTPSecure='ssl';//configuraçãodousuáriodogmail$mail->SMTPAuth=true;$mail->Username='[email protected]';//usuariogmail.$mail->Password='suasenhadogmail';//senhadoemail.$mail->SingleTo=true;//configuraçãodoemailaverenviado.$mail->From="Mensagem de email, pode vim por uma variavel."; 
$mail->FromName = "Nome do remetente."; 

$mail->addAddress("[email protected]"); // email do destinatario.

$mail->Subject = "Aqui vai o assunto do email, pode vim atraves de variavel."; 
$mail->Body = "Aqui vai a mensagem, que tambem pode vim por variavel.";

if(!$mail->Send())
    echo "Erro ao enviar Email:" . $mail->ErrorInfo;

The first time I rounded the code above I returned the following error: SMTP Error: Could not authenticate .

To solve it I went in my email and found the following message from gmail.

Inotherwords,gmailblockedmyconnectionattemptfromlocalhost.

Toavoidthiserror,goto security settings from gmail and went to the

Iaccessedthesettingsandactivatedasintheimagebelow

and I tried to resend the email from localhost again, I sent it to myself.

AndnowI'vesentittoanotheraccountofmine.

This was the way I did to send email through localhost.

OBS:

I'm using WampServer, I believe it works on any other server, it's just knowing where the server puts the file httpd apache and php.ini , and enable modules and extensions.

OBS 2:

PHPMailer classes go in your project.

My response was based on this tutorial .

Take a look at this stackoverflow post even though it seems similar to your problem, right?

How to send localhost email using the PHP mail function?

Embrace

You can even send using localhost, however, this email will hardly be received by any ISP due to anti-spam filters and SPF and DKIM settings.

The basic function for sending emails in PHP is this:

mail ( "[email protected]", "assunto","corpo do email","From: [email protected]" );

The safest and most complete PHP to send email in PHP is PHPMailer.

You can download PHPMailer from Github or by this one direct link .

Follow the example source code. You need to change the SMTP address, login, password, and so on. according to its hosting provider.

<?php
 
// Inclui o arquivo class.phpmailer.php localizado na mesma pasta do arquivo php
include "PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php";
 
// Inicia a classe PHPMailer
$mail = new PHPMailer();
 
// Método de envio
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "localhost"; 
$mail->Port = 25; 
 
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; 
$mail->Username = '[email protected]'; 
$mail->Password = 'senha-do-email'; 
 
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
 'ssl' => array(
 'verify_peer' => false,
 'verify_peer_name' => false,
 'allow_self_signed' => true
 )
);

// $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; 
 
// Define o remetente
$mail->From = "[email protected]"; 
$mail->FromName = "Francisco"; 
 
// Define o(s) destinatário(s)
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Maria');
//$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');
 
        
$mail->IsHTML(true);
 
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
 
$mail->Subject = "Assunto da mensagem"; 
 
$mail->Body = 'Corpo do email em html.<br><br><font color=blue>Teste de cores</font><br><br><img src="http://meusitemodelo.com/imagem.jpg">';//Enviaoe-mail$enviado=$mail->Send();//Exibeumamensagemderesultadoif($enviado){echo"Seu email foi enviado com sucesso!";
} else {
     echo "Houve um erro enviando o email: ".$mail->ErrorInfo;
}
 
?>
