Question

i want to send emails with phpmailer.

for doing that i searched google and i found the blow link :

http://phpmailer.worxware.com/

so i download their libraries from here (by download link in their site , php 4-5):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/files/phpmailer%20for%20php4/0.90/

after that i refer to this example : (mean advanced using smtp)

http://phpmailer.worxware.com/index.php?pg=exampleasmtp

<?php
require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded

$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP

try {
  $mail->Host       = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
  $mail->SMTPDebug  = 2;                     // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
  $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
  $mail->Host       = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // sets the SMTP server
  $mail->Port       = 26;                    // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
  $mail->Username   = "yourname@yourdomain"; // SMTP account username
  $mail->Password   = "yourpassword";        // SMTP account password
  $mail->AddReplyTo('[e-mail]', 'First Last');
  $mail->AddAddress('[e-mail]', 'John Doe');
  $mail->SetFrom('[e-mail]', 'First Last');
  $mail->AddReplyTo('[e-mail]', 'First Last');
  $mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer Test Subject via mail(), advanced';
  $mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
  $mail->MsgHTML(file_get_contents('contents.html'));
  $mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer.gif');      // attachment
  $mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.gif'); // attachment
  $mail->Send();
  echo "Message Sent OK\n";
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
  echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
  echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
}

?>

but i could n’t find class.phpmailer.php file for this line -> require_once(‘../class.phpmailer.php’); from dowloaded file.

did i miss something?

would u plz help me for that?

best regards.

Answer 1

The “../” means “one directory level higher”. That means that it should look for the file class.phpmailer.php in the directory one higher than that where this script is executing from. If that’s not where you saved class.phpmailer.php relative to your code, then adjust the path.
