php-mailer

[leemchildress]

I am using php-mailer for a contact form on my website. When I click submit, I DO receive the email; however, on the website, it displays a JSON response saying “Success” rather than updating the screen to say the message has been sent.

What am I missing? Script follows.

<?php
/*
Name: Contact Form
Written by: Okler Themes - (http://www.okler.net)
Theme Version: 10.0.0
*/

namespace PortoContactForm;

session_cache_limiter('nocache');
header('Expires: ' . gmdate('r', 0));

header('Content-type: application/json');

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

require 'php-mailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'php-mailer/src/SMTP.php';
require 'php-mailer/src/Exception.php';

// Step 1 - Enter your email address below.
$email = '[email protected]';

// If the e-mail is not working, change the debug option to 2 | $debug = 2;
$debug = 0;

// If contact form don't has the subject input change the value of subject here
$subject = ( isset($_POST['subject']) ) ? $_POST['subject'] : 'Define subject in php/contact-form.php line 29';

$message = '';

foreach($_POST as $label => $value) {
$label = ucwords($label);

// Use the commented code below to change label texts. On this example will change "Email" to "Email Address"

// if( $label == 'Email' ) {
// $label = 'Email Address';
// }

// Checkboxes
if( is_array($value) ) {
// Store new value
$value = implode(', ', $value);
}

$message .= $label.": " . nl2br(htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES)) . "<br>";
}

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

try {

$mail->SMTPDebug = $debug; // Debug Mode

// Step 2 (Optional) - If you don't receive the email, try to configure the parameters below:

//$mail->IsSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
//$mail->Host = 'mail.yourserver.com'; // Specify main and backup server
//$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
//$mail->Username = '[email protected]'; // SMTP username
//$mail->Password = 'secret'; // SMTP password
//$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
//$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to

$mail->AddAddress($email); // Add another recipient

//$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Person 2'); // Add a secondary recipient
//$mail->AddCC('[email protected]', 'Person 3'); // Add a "Cc" address.
//$mail->AddBCC('[email protected]', 'Person 4'); // Add a "Bcc" address.

// From - Name
$fromName = ( isset($_POST['name']) ) ? $_POST['name'] : 'Website User';
$mail->SetFrom($email, $fromName);

// Reply To
if( isset($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['email']) ) {
$mail->AddReplyTo($_POST['email'], $fromName);
}

$mail->IsHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML

$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';

$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;

// Step 3 - If you don't want to attach any files, remove that code below
if (isset($_FILES['attachment']) && $_FILES['attachment']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['attachment']['name']);
}

$mail->Send();
$arrResult = array ('response'=>'success');

} catch (Exception $e) {
$arrResult = array ('response'=>'error','errorMessage'=>$e->errorMessage());
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$arrResult = array ('response'=>'error','errorMessage'=>$e->getMessage());
}

if ($debug == 0) {
echo json_encode($arrResult);
}

Hello,

It’s probably missing the view.contact.js script on footer of page. This is the file that makes the validation of the form and submit.

<script src="js/views/view.contact.js"></script>

Please try that and let us know if you need further assistance.

Kind Regards.

Thanks. I’m making progress! Now I get a message saying there was an problem with my message but yet it was delivered with no issue. I turned on debug and this is what I get:

Try to open that file js/views/view.contact.js and change the line 88 to:

if (data.response != 'error') {

I received your test message.

I made the change and still receive the same error (but I do receive the message).
