Failed to call new PHPMailer and does not create an instance of PHPMailer. The setting of $mail->SMTPDebug creates a stdClass instance, and then calling a non-existent method on it (isSMTP) fails. So it's all down to that instance creation failure. PHPMailer Version 6.0.7 Live Hosting Service
I have tried $mail = new stdClass();
or $mail = NULL; This is symptom fix but does not the cause and causes my page to send an email every time it loads.
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'PHPMailer/Exception.php';
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';
if(isset($_POST[‘submit’]))
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // 0 = off (for production use) - 1 = client messages - 2 = client and server messages
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'mail.email.org';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; <-- Recommend by the hosting service
$mail->Port = 465; <-- Recommend by the hosting service <--Hosting Service Docs verify this
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';
$mail->Password = 'Using the correct Password';
$to = '[email protected]'; <-- sending this to myself
$from = '[email protected]'; <--sending to myself
$first_name = ((isset($_POST['FirstName']))&&(!is_null($_POST['FirstName'])))? $_POST['FirstName']:'';
$last_name = ((isset($_POST['LastName']))&&(!is_null($_POST['LastName'])))? $_POST['LastName']:'';
$email = ((isset($_POST['Email']))&&(!is_null($_POST['Email'])))? $_POST['Email']:'';
$age = ((isset($_POST['Age']))&&(!is_null($_POST['Age'])))? $_POST['Age']:'';
$student = ((isset($_POST['Student']))&&(!is_null($_POST['Student'])))? $_POST['Student']:'';
$agree18 = ((isset($_POST['Agree18']))&&(!is_null($_POST['Agree18'])))? $_POST['Agree18']:'';
/* Set the mail sender. */
$mail->setFrom( $to , 'Research');
/* Add a recipient. */
$mail->addAddress( $_POST['Email'] , 'Research');
/* Set the subject. */
$mail->Subject = 'Learn More about Research Requested';
$mail->isHTML(TRUE);
$mail->Body = '<html> "First Name:" . $first_name . " Last Name:" . $last_name . " Email:". $email . " Age:" . $age . " Student:" . $student . " Agree18:" . $agree18 . ""
</html>';
$mail->AltBody = ' "First Name:" . $first_name . " Last Name:" . $last_name . " Email:". $email . " Age:" . $age . " Student:" . $student . " Agree18:" . $agree18 . ""
';
if($mail->send()){
$msg="Your email msg has been send";
}else{
$msg="mail msg has not been send";
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
Hope to find a solution to why it's failing.
Removed all my code, Performed what synchro stated and got this:
