Question

I am using php mailer class to send email to my customers. But it failed with error:

Language string failed to load: recipients_failed [e-mail]

If I change the values of $email_to and $email_from to the same email address, then the email is sent successful

This is my code for sending the email

$email_to = "[e-mail]";
$email_subject = "bla bla";
$email_from = '[e-mail]';
$email_message = "hello there";

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->CharSet="UTF-8";
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "mail.domain.com.vn"; // SMTP server
$mail->From = $email_from;
$mail->AddAddress($email_to);
$mail->AddReplyTo($email_from);     
$mail->Subject = $email_subject;
$mail->WordWrap = 100; 
$mail->Body = $htmlBody;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->AltBody = $email_message;
if(!$mail->Send()){
   echo $mail->ErrorInfo; 
}

So it will always report error unless I change $email_to to [e-mail]

Thank you,

Note : Please change the SMTP server setting to your own server.

$your_email = "[e-mail]";
$your_smtp = "mail.example.com";
$your_smtp_user = "[e-mail]";
$your_smtp_pass = "example_password";
$your_website = "http://example.com";

//get contact form details
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$url = $_POST['url'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];

$response="Name: $name\nContents:\n$comments\n";

$mail = new PHPmailer();
$mail = $mail->SetLanguage("en", "phpmailer/language");
$mail->From = $your_email;
$mail->FromName = $your_website;
$mail->Host = $your_smtp;
$mail->Mailer   = "smtp";
$mail->Password = $your_smtp_pass;
$mail->Username = $your_smtp_user;
$mail->Subject = "$your_website feedback";
$mail->SMTPAuth  =  "true";
$mail->Body = $response;
$mail->AddAddress($your_email,"$your_website admin");
$mail->AddReplyTo($email,$name);

echo "<p>Thanks for your feedback, <em>$name</em>! We will contact you soon!</p>";
if (!$mail->Send()) {
echo "<p>There was an error in sending mail, please try again at a later time</p>";
}

$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->ClearAttachments();
