phpmailer not working

[anon19508339]

Explain more than just not working please?

[Sarvesh_M_Rao]

Try using this

 $mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER; 

instead of

@JohnEmmanuel

$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;

and you will see all the output of the SMTP server.
Also please clearly explain what your issue is.

PHPMailer was broken recently after an OpenSSL Upgrade. This may be why its not working.

PHPMailer Suddenly Stopped working

We upgraded OpenSSL on our servers a few days ago. This may have resulted in SSL for SMTP breaking. I’m going to do some investigation into this. The provided SMTPOptions are a good workaround until then. Please note that you should AVOID such SMTPOptions as much as possible, because fixing SSL issues by disabling most SSL security features is NOT a good solution.

@TigerMANEK426 It was already fixed as said by the Admin:

@Admin

I just got confirmed that a few hours ago the OpenSSL installation was fixed. All secure connections should now work again, whether that’s from cURL, file_get_contents or SMTP!

@JohnEmmanuel That script works, as I can see on the bottom “Message has been sent”. But note that with Gmail SMTP you can only send emails from your Gmail email address and not with custom domains, unless your domain is on G Suite. Also, it’s better to set to 0 or remove the SMTP debug from a fully working script.

@Sarvesh_M_Rao Using $mail->SMTPDebug = 2 equals to using $mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER, so both of them are indifferent. You might want to check the wiki on SMTP Debugging · PHPMailer/PHPMailer Wiki · GitHub for more.
