Question

I am trying to send a mail through core Php, I have created a file email.php and included PHPMailer_v5.1 in it.. here is my php code,

<?php if($_POST){
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'] ;
$phone = $_POST['telephone'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->Host = "localhost";               
$mail->From = "[e-mail]";
$mail->FromName  =  "Showket";
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]");


$mail->Subject = "Feedback form results";
$mail->Body="
    Name: $name
    Email: $email
    Telephone: $telephone
    Comments: $comments";

$mail->WordWrap = 50;

if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo 'Message was not sent.';
   echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
   echo 'Thank you for your feedback.';
}
} 
?>

when i post this form it gives me the right message Thank you for your feedback. but i didnt recieve the message..do i need to configure anything else ?

Try setting Gmail as your SMTP

<?php if($_POST){ 
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; 
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'] ; 
$phone = $_POST['telephone'] ; 
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ; 

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465"; // SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "[e-mail]"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP password

$mail->Host = "localhost";                
$mail->From = "[e-mail]"; 
$mail->FromName  =  "Showket"; 
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]"); 

$mail->Subject = "Feedback form results"; 
$mail->Body=" 
Name: $name 
Email: $email 
Telephone: $telephone 
Comments: $comments"; 

$mail->WordWrap = 50; 

if(!$mail->Send()) 
{ 
    echo 'Message was not sent.'; 
    echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo; 
} 
else 
{ 
    echo 'Thank you for your feedback.'; 
} 
}  
?>
