im trying to send an email just when somebody enters on a page. It's for paypal payment confirmation. You pay something and in the page where you see what you did an email is send automatically.
The code is the next:
function send_email($from, $to, $subject, $nombre,$apellido) {
$pagoReal = $_SESSION["Payment_Amount"];
$monedaReal = $_SESSION["currencyCodeType"];
$estado = $_SESSION['estado'];
$id = $_SESSION['idHash'];
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->SMTPDebug=3;
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'localhost';
$mail->CharSet = "UTF-8";
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = 'Notificación de pago via Paypal';
$mail->addAddress($to);
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$contenido = "<html><body>
<p>Han realizado un nuevo ingreso via Paypal</p><br>
Nombre del cliente: $nombre $apellido<br>
Cantidad que pagó: $pagoReal $monedaReal <br>
Estado de la reserva:$estado <br>
Enlace a la factura : href='xxxxx/$id<br>
</body></html>";
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $contenido;
['tmp_name'],$_FILES['cv_contacto']['name']);
if (!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Error enviando mensaje.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
return "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
return 1;
}
}
then i call the function
send_email('patata@patata.com', 'fran@patata.es','Payment of '. $firstName." ".$lastName,$firstName,$lastName);
And I get this error
Error: authentication failed: generic failure 2016-07-11 14:20:51 SMTP ERROR: Password command failed: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: generic failure 2016-07-11 14:20:51 CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT 2016-07-11 14:20:51 SERVER -> CLIENT: 221 2.0.0 Bye 2016-07-11 14:20:51 Connection: closed 2016-07-11 14:20:51 SMTP connect() failed. Error enviando mensaje.Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
Any idea of what can i do?
Thanks!
Follow this steps.
Use an App Password: If you use 2-Step Verification, try signing in
with an App Password.
Allow less secure apps: If you don't use 2-Step Verification, you
might need to allow less secure apps to access your account.
If you recently changed your Gmail password, you might need to
re-enter your Gmail account information or completely repeat your
Gmail account setup on your other email client. If the tips above
didn't help, visit
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and follow the
steps on the page. If you use Gmail through your work, school, or
other organization, visit
https://www.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/UnlockCaptcha and replace
yourdomain.com with your domain name.
I have resolved this issue :
Please follow the below steps :
1) Firstly download latest PHPmailer files.
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
a) Check its there at all (on terminal )
ping smtp.gmail.com
This should give you something like this:
Trying 173.194.67.109...
Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.google.com ESMTP ex2sm16805587wjd.30 - gsmtp
b) openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect smtp.gmail.com:587
You should expect a response like this:
Start Time: 1460541074
Timeout : 300 (sec)
Verify return code: 0 (ok)
---
250 SMTPUTF8
Notice that the verify return code is 0, which indicates successful verification.
refer link : https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
2) Google now doesn't accept login from less secure apps.
Open link : https://myaccount.google.com/security
Firstly login your gmail account.
a)Scroll to the bottom and turn ON "Allow less secure apps: ON".
b)Now when you add the SMTP details to "Send as" google will accept them.
c)You need to do this for the email ID you are adding in your Send as section.
3) Script code :
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
// 0 = no output, 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only.
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets Gmail as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL
$mail->Username = "pradeep001.thakur@gmail.com"; // Gmail username
$mail->Password = "********"; // Gmail password
$mail->CharSet = 'windows-1250';
$mail->SetFrom ('abcd@gmail.com'); // send to mail
$mail->AddBCC ( 'test@gmail.com'); // send to mail
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->ContentType = 'text/plain';
$mail->isHTML(false);
$body_of_your_email ="Hello Pradeep";
$mail->Body = $body_of_your_email;
// you may also use $mail->Body = file_get_contents('your_mail_template.html');
$mail->AddAddress ('pradeep001.thakur@gmail.com', 'Recipients Name');
// you may also use this format $mail->AddAddress ($recipient);
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo $error_message = "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else
{
echo $error_message = "Successfully sent!";
}
I hope its working fine.
Thanks
I was trying doing a lot of tests (hours and hours...), but the best configuration is:
- "Allow less secure apps: ON". Sometimes this change will take effect after 10 minutes.
- Use SSL configuration and port 465, LOGIN.
- It´s better if you can activate the debbuging messages to know other details.
- Some SMTP like gmail, requires to configure the IP address to accept the verification process (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255)
- All this configurations also will be required in the Admin Panel on GSuite in case that you use a bussiness edition.
Regards, hope helps
