Question

I’m using ajax call to send a message from my contact form. However, I want to print the server response back to user, if it succeeds or if it fails, and I want to report if class.phpmailer.php is missing for some reason, but this isn’t working for me, so how could I display a custom error message on require failure?

require "class.phpmailer.php"; or die("<span style='color:red;'>Tiedosto class.phpmailer.php puuttuu! Viestin lähetys epäonnistui!</span>");

Answer 1

You will need to check that the files exists first then do an import, if the file cannot be found then it will display your message back to the user.

if(file_exists('class.phpmailer.php')){ 
    include "class.phpmailer.php"; 
}else{ 
    echo"<span style='color:red;'>Tiedosto class.phpmailer.php puuttuu! Viestin lähetys epäonnistui!</span>"; 
}
