You are missing the directive that states the connection uses SSL
require ("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn of SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "YAHOO ACCOUNT"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "YAHOO ACCOUNT PASSWORD"; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "YAHOO HOST"; // SMTP host
$mail->Port = 465;
Then add in the other parts
$webmaster_email = "myemail@gmail.com"; //Reply to this email ID
$email="myyahoomail@yahoo.in"; // Recipients email ID
$name="My Name"; // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->FromName = "My Name";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"My Name");
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "subject";
$mail->Body = "Hi,
This is the HTML BODY "; //HTML Body
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body when user views in plain text format"; //Text Body
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
As a side note, I have had trouble using Body + AltBody together although they are supposed to work. As a result, I wrote the following wrapper function which works perfectly.
<?php
require ("class.phpmailer.php");
// Setup Configuration for Mail Server Settings
$email['host'] = 'smtp.email.com';
$email['port'] = 366;
$email['user'] = 'from@email.com';
$email['pass'] = 'from password';
$email['from'] = 'From Name';
$email['reply'] = 'replyto@email.com';
$email['replyname'] = 'Reply To Name';
$addresses_to_mail_to = 'email1@email.com;email2@email.com';
$email_subject = 'My Subject';
$email_body = '<html>Code Here</html>';
$who_is_receiving_name = 'John Smith';
$result = sendmail(
$email_body,
$email_subject,
$addresses_to_mail_to,
$who_is_receiving_name
);
var_export($result);
function sendmail($body, $subject, $to, $name, $attach = "") {
global $email;
$return = false;
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
try {
$mail->Host = $email['host']; // SMTP server
// $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host = $email['host']; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port = $email['port']; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Username = $email['user']; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password = $email['pass']; // SMTP account password
$mail->AddReplyTo($email['reply'], $email['replyname']);
if(stristr($to,';')) {
$totmp = explode(';',$to);
foreach($totmp as $destto) {
if(trim($destto) != "") {
$mail->AddAddress(trim($destto), $name);
}
}
} else {
$mail->AddAddress($to, $name);
}
$mail->SetFrom($email['user'], $email['from']);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
if(is_array($attach)) {
foreach($attach as $attach_f) {
if($attach_f != "") {
$mail->AddAttachment($attach_f); // attachment
}
}
} else {
if($attach != "") {
$mail->AddAttachment($attach); // attachment
}
}
$mail->Send();
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
$return = $e->errorMessage();
} catch (Exception $e) {
$return = $e->errorMessage();
}
return $return;
}
