PHPMailer doesn't send email

Question

I would like to send and email trough the PHPMailer class. The code doesn't launch any error but the method $mail -> Send() returns false and I don't know why.

$emailList looks like:

Array(
[0] => mate80@yopmail.com
[1] => mate81@yopmail.com)

The ./html/mail/index.html looks like:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

The code updated with comments below is:

$teamMembers = $bbdd -> getTeam($teamId);

        for($i=0; $i<count($emailList); $i++)
        {
            $userExistInTeam = false;
            foreach($teamMembers as $key => $member)
            {
                if($member['email'] == $emailList[$i])
                {
                    $userExistInTeam = true;
                }
            }

            if(!$userExistInTeam)
            {
                $user = insertInitialTeamMate($teamId, $emailList[$i], $teamLeader["companyId"]);


                $emailTemplate = file_get_contents('./html/mail/index.html');

                $emailValues = array(

                    '{@urlToLogo}' => 'http://dapalmes.com/teamEQapiRC/html/mail/img/teameq-logo.png',
                    '{@teamName}'       => $teamLeader["teamName"],
                    '{@teamLeader}'        => $teamLeader["name"] ." ". $teamLeader["surname"],
                    '{@invitationalToken}' => $user["token"],
                    '{@teamId}' => $teamId
                );

                $mail = new PHPMailer(true);
                $body = strtr($emailTemplate, $emailValues);

                $mail -> setFrom('no-reply@teameq.net', 'TeamEQ');

                $mail -> AddAddress($emailList[$i]);

                $mail -> Subject = "Has sido invitado a TeamEQ";

                $mail -> MsgHTML($body);

               // $result = $mail -> Send();

                if(!$mail->Send())
                {
                    echo "error al enviar!!";
                }
                else
                {
                    echo "mensaje enviado";
                }

            }
        }

the error was that the Send method is written lower case

You want to research a bit before asking here. Reading the documentation of the tools you use help understanding how to handle errors. Or look for existing answers here on SO. Take a look here for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2386544/error-handling-with-phpmailer Also taking a look into your http servers error log file often helps. — arkascha, Oct 03 '15 at 11:48
Hi @SubinThomas, I just edit the question with an example of emailList and code updated with other comments. Thanks! — Icar Gongora, Oct 03 '15 at 12:40
@SubinThomas if I remove the '=' the errorLog says me that AddAdress() is not a function . "Call to undefined method PHPMailer::AddAdress()" — Icar Gongora, Oct 03 '15 at 12:48
I just corrected and the error now is: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons @SubinThomas. thanks! — Icar Gongora, Oct 03 '15 at 12:59
http://superuser.com/questions/833077/how-to-remove-error-warning-ini-set-has-been-disabled-for-security-reasons this will help you in *ini_set()*. But mail is sending?? @IcarGongora — Subin Thomas, Oct 03 '15 at 13:02
Thanks! I'm gonna check it. email is not sending because phpmailer is launching the ErrorException @SubinThomas — Icar Gongora, Oct 03 '15 at 13:04
echo $emailList[$i]; and confirm it is a string. ***** remove *true* from *$mail = new PHPMailer(true);* and change it to *$mail = new PHPMailer();* @IcarGongora — Subin Thomas, Oct 03 '15 at 13:13
Why not look at the mailing list example provided with PHPMailer that is similar to what you're doing, but much more efficient and lacks the bugs? — Synchro, Oct 03 '15 at 15:10

You have an error in this line . Instead of

$mail -> AddAdress =$emailList[$i];

Use

$mail -> AddAddress($emailList[$i]);

Also this code will send the mail twice. so remove this line.

$result = $mail -> Send();

You shouldn't be calling Send() twice, check for $result instead:

$result = $mail -> Send();

if(!$result)
{
    echo "send KO";
}
else
{
    echo "send OK";
}

Also; try using $mail = new PHPMailer(true); instead; it should enable Exceptions and will tell you if & why sending failed

Whilst this is a good hint it does not explain why the message does not get sent. So this is _not_ an answer. – arkascha Oct 03 '15 at 11:52
It is if the author uses the `echo` output as primary indication of success – Sjon Oct 03 '15 at 11:55
The OP claims the mail is not sent. This does not change that at all. – arkascha Oct 03 '15 at 11:56
