I was going to say that PHPMailer is no longer developed, and Swift Mailer is. But when I googled … https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer That suggests its being worked on again. I’ve used PHPMailer a lot, and its always been solid and reliable. I had recently started using Swift Mailer, for the above reason, and it too has … Read more

I have found the answer to this, and it is annoyingly/frustratingly simple! Basically the reply to addresses needed to be added before the from address as such: $mail->addReplyTo(‘replyto@email.com’, ‘Reply to name’); $mail->SetFrom(‘mailbox@email.com’, ‘Mailbox name’); Looking at the phpmailer code in more detail this is the offending line: public function SetFrom($address, $name=””,$auto=1) { $address = trim($address); … Read more

Try: if (isset($_FILES[‘uploaded_file’]) && $_FILES[‘uploaded_file’][‘error’] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK ) { $mail->addAttachment($_FILES[‘uploaded_file’][‘tmp_name’], $_FILES[‘uploaded_file’][‘name’]); } A basic example attaching multiple file uploads can be found here.

$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object $mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP $mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled $mail->SMTPSecure=”ssl”; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail $mail->Host = “smtp.gmail.com”; $mail->Port = 465; // or 587 $mail->IsHTML(true); $mail->Username = “email@gmail.com”; $mail->Password … Read more
You need to call the AddAddress method once for every recipient. Like so: $mail->AddAddress(‘person1@domain.example’, ‘Person One’); $mail->AddAddress(‘person2@domain.example’, ‘Person Two’); // .. Better yet, add them as Carbon Copy recipients. $mail->AddCC(‘person1@domain.example’, ‘Person One’); $mail->AddCC(‘person2@domain.example’, ‘Person Two’); // .. To make things easy, you should loop through an array to do this. $recipients = array( ‘person1@domain.example’ => … Read more
