I'm trying to send emails using PHP Mailer. The site is uploaded to a free hosting. The error is displayed about failed SMTP connection. I'm hoping to someone that has expertise in this matter.
Here goes my code.
require '../extensions/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$emailAddress = 'SampleEmail';
$password = 'Emailpassword';
$subject = 'Invitation to employee portal';
$message = '
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<title>Invitation</title>
<body style ="background:#eee;">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="backgroundTable" style ="padding: 40px; max-width:640px;background-color:#f3f3f3;display:block;margin:0 auto; font-family:Lato, sans-serif; color:#626262;font-size:13px;line-height:22px;" width ="600">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style ="background-color: #3552f2; padding: 34px 122px;">
<h1 width ="600" style ="max-width:600px;width:100%; text-align:center; color:#fff;">HRMS DHVTSU</h1>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style ="background-color: #ffffff; text-align: center; padding: 40px;">
<h1 style="font-size: 40px; color:#000; font-style: italic;">Sorry your account has been deactivated.</h1>
<br>
<p style ="color:#000; font-size: 16px;">For any questions please contact HR Department.</p>
<br>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style ="background-color: #3552f2; text-align: center; font-size: 16px; color: #fff;">

</table>
</body>';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
// $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';

$result = $this->con->prepare($query);
$result->execute(array($id));
if($result->rowCount()){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
Possible duplicate of PHP Mailer issue use that code and it will fix your problem, because you have not added following code:
require 'PHPMailer/src/Exception.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php'
or go to above link more description you can see from that answer.
