<?php


use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

require 'PHPMailer/src/Exception.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';

include 'connection.php';
$conn = new Connection();

if(!$conn->connect()) die('Configuration error');
echo (extension_loaded('openssl')?'SSL loaded':'SSL not loaded')."<br />";
$to_decode = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));
$email = $to_decode->email;
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$template = "template.php";
$dom_details = array(
    "{my-website}" => "Sample Website",
    "{my-number}" => "Country-State-Local Code-Number",
    "{my-message}" => 'MIKOMIKO'
);
if(file_exists($template))
    $temp_message = file_get_contents($template);
else
    die("Template file not found!");
    
    foreach(array_keys($dom_details) as $key){
        $temp_message = str_replace($key, $dom_details[$key], $temp_message);
    }
try{
    $mail->isSMTP();                                        // Send using SMTP
    $mail->Host       = 'smtp.gmail.com';                   // Set the SMTP server to send through
    $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
    //use your own account details
    //if you are using a gmail account, turn on less secured app under security
    $mail->Username   = 'mikocoral11@gmail.com';            // SMTP username
    $mail->Password   = 'ssss';                    // SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS;     // Enable TLS encryption; `PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS` encouraged
    $mail->Port       = 587;                                // TCP port to connect to, use 465 for `PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS` above

    //Recipients
    $mail->setFrom('mikocoral11@gmail.com');
    $mail->addAddress($email);     // Add a recipient
    //$mail->addCC('xxxxxx@gmail.com');
    $mail->Subject = 'welcmoe blog to my guys';
    $mail->Body    = $temp_message;
    
    //$mail->IsHTML(true);
    $mail->send();
    echo 'Message Sent';
} catch (Exception $e){
    echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}

?>

    Maybe you should remove the commenting-out from the line `//$mail->IsHTML(true);` then ...? – CBroe Apr 29 '22 at 11:29
  • this is the error now: SSL loaded
    Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.     – Mikael Tenshio Apr 29 '22 at 13:08
  • That probably because you are trying to send using Gmail, so go check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3949824/smtp-error-could-not-authenticate-in-phpmailer – CBroe Apr 29 '22 at 13:09
  • The "allow less secure apps" option mentioned in there won't stay enabled permanently though, Google will reset that from time to time. If you don't want to deal with that, then you could use XOAUTH2 as an alternative, https://phppot.com/php/sending-email-using-phpmailer-with-gmail-xoauth2/ – CBroe Apr 29 '22 at 13:11
  • bro thanks you very much itworks now. i forget that i change the password to wrong because i post it here hehe. now when i change it to correct it work now thanks bro for helping me. – Mikael Tenshio Apr 29 '22 at 13:13

 //$mail->IsHTML(true);

uncomment the above, so phpmailer sends html mails
