I’m trying to send an email using the following code and I’m getting Internal Server Error. I am not sure why I am having this trouble.
PHP code:
<?php
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = 'myemail@gmail.com';
$mail->Password = "mypasswordhere";
$mail->SetFrom($from, $from_name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->AddAddress('myemail@gmail.com');
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
return false;
} else {
$error = 'Message sent!';
return true;
}
?>
I just placed this file as test.php inside the PhpMail folder after extracting it. Like the below
I try to send email through phpmailer. On the localhost server (127. 0. 0. 1), it works well. But, after I uploaded on hosting web (not localhost), it does not work and I get 500: internal server error. I have tried in different hosting, but still get the same mistake. What happened?

If you send mails from a domain that is not associated with your online server, some providers may deny sending the mail. The error for that may vary, so check your outgoing mail address.
If that fails, create a mail account and use this account with authorisation in your mailer config.

I’ve been trying to get my PHPMailer working for over a day now reading a lot of forum posts but i can’t figure out why it keeps returning an HTTP Error 500.

Below you can find the index.php file that i’ve created to send the email — it is based on the Gmail example which is stated within the examples page.
<?php //Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace use PHPMailerPHPMailerPHPMailer; require '../vendor/autoload.php'; //Create a new PHPMailer instance $mail = new PHPMailer; //Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP //$mail->isSMTP(); //Enable SMTP debugging // 0 = off (for production use) // 1 = client messages // 2 = client and server messages $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; //Set the hostname of the mail server $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // use // $mail->Host = gethostbyname('smtp.gmail.com'); // if your network does not support SMTP over IPv6 //Set the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS, a.k.a.

Looks like you’re dealing with bunch of issues and here is a checklist: you’re having issues with ssl, the actual mail software and credentials. It became an issue of 3 from one main issue and I’m guessing you don’t either have your credentials typed in correctly or your open ssl isn’t setup and you’re also having issues using the mail software.
535 535 5.7.3 Authentication Unsuccessful means auth is unsuccessful, check your credentials username and password.
550 error code, it means that the receiving system could not deliver your email to the user to whom it was addressed because the mailbox is unavailable.
There are plenty of other solutions to resolve your issue. Why don’t you try something more simple instead of using the autoload PHPMailerAutoload.php. Create a new file and place the code below, create a message body (test_message.html) and call it from the browser to test gmail smtp with the gmail credentials. This is a snippet from PHPMailer on how to use it with gmail smtp and it shouldn’t go wrong if you have everything filled in correctly.
<?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();
$body = file_get_contents('test_message.html');
$body = eregi_replace("[]",'',$body);
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "[email protected]"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "yourpassword"; // GMAIL password
$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]', 'First Last');
$mail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]","First Last");
$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp (Gmail), basic";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$address = "[email protected]";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
?>
If you’re getting user auth error, then your credentials aren’t typed in
correctly. If that’s not the issue, you’ll get an ssl error if you’re not using the right port.
If there are software issues with include, you should try something better.
I was debating this morning if I should should PHPMailer, ended up using Swiftmailer which worked right after I installed it with PHPComposer.
My Internal mail server is extremely picky and has ton of firewall settings and rules on hardware and software level and I was surprised it didn’t give me any problems; the emails were being sent right away without any problems on port 587.
require_once 'vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/swift_required.php';
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('mail.hellog***.com', 587)
->setUsername('[email protected]***.com')
->setPassword('apa******')
;
This is what you need for gmail:
$transporter = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, 'ssl')
->setUsername($this->username)
->setPassword($this->password);
$this->mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transporter);
If none of what you like, you can try phpgmailer:
https://github.com/GregDracoulis/LectureBank/tree/master/phpgmailer
here is an example on how to use it:
http://www.vulgarisoverip.com/2006/10/13/update-send-email-with-php-and-gmail-hosted-for-your-domain/
this class is dedicated for gmail use.
If all your problems and issues relate to openSSL, you should follow the steps below:
1. Make sure the OpenSSL module DLL file is included in the PHP installation:
C:user>dir localphpextphp_openssl.dll
Directory of C:localphpext
php_openssl.dll
2. Create the PHP configuration file, localphpphp.ini
, if it does not exist:
C:user>copy localphpphp.ini-production localphpphp.ini
1 file(s) copied.
3. Enable the OpenSSL module by editing the configuration file with a text editor. You need to remove the comment maker (;) on two configuration lines:
...
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; http://php.net/extension-dir
; extension_dir = "./"
; On windows:
extension_dir = "ext"
...
extension=php_openssl.dll
...
That’s it. You should be all set setting up openSSL on your Windows IIS WebServer. Follow these options and steps, it could be your issue.

I have tried with you code, and i have only changed this line :
require_once ("inclPHPMailerPHPMailerAutoload.php");
by this one :
require_once ("inclPHPMailerclass.phpmailer.php");
And it was worked successfully.
Also you should keep attention about your PHPMailer version and your PHP version.
Have you tried to send an email with not secured method ?
Are you sure that your google credentials are valid ?
UPDATED
From the command line of your server, what is the output of this command and how much time that it takes to respond
telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
Solution 3
This problem is slashes ( )
Edit
require_once ("incl\PHPMailer\PHPMailerAutoload.php");
Solution 4
I wonder if you are running into the same issue that this question ran into. Google actively frowns on people using Gmail as their own personal SMTP server.
http://www.labnol.org/internet/email/gmail-daily-limit-sending-bulk-email/2191/
Google also limits the number of email messages that you can send through your Gmail account in a day. If you exceed the daily quota, Google may temporarily disable your Gmail account without any warnings and you may have to wait for up to 24 hours before you can regain access to your Gmail mailbox.
I could see an error like that potentially producing a 500 error.

From the comments to the question, it seems pretty clear that this issue is OpenSSL related.
You mentioned that you already have extension=php_openssl.dll
uncommented, but phpinfo()
does show it not beeing loaded.
Some thoughts:
-
Have you restarted the webserver, after uncommenting the openssl php module in your
php.ini
?This is the really obvious one, but still worth mentioning. The
php.ini
is loaded on start-up, and not doing a service restart is simply a common mistake. -
Check the value of
Loaded Configuration File
inphpinfo()
If this is not the same location than the
php.ini
which you have edited, it also becomes clear why it has not been loaded. Also following lines fromphpinfo()
might be worth checking.- Configuration File (php.ini) Path
- Loaded Configuration File
- Scan this dir for additional .ini files
There are other things too which can be done like uninstalling and reinstalling OpenSSL, but it might be good to check these more obvious things first.
Further thoughts:
-
Checking the error logs
For php the path can (again) be found in your
phpinfo()
. Look for the value oferror_log
and check the latest entries, right after you tried to reload your page.Also you may wanna check the log files of IIS. If you don’t know the path look in the IIS Manager, select the computer on the left pane, and in the middle pane, go under «logging» in the IIS area. Usually these will point to something like
C:inetpublogsLogFiles
orC:WindowsSystem32LogFiles
with a subfolder likeW3SVC[x]
where[x]
is the website ID. (Will be just1
if you only have one page, otherwise check the top level websites folder in IIS Manager, view the lists of sites in the right hand pane, it’s the App ID)

I am trying to setup a php page to automatically send a verification email. I would like to use the gmail smtp servers, and everywhere I’ve looked suggests to use PHPMailer. I installed it and used the following example code:
ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); require_once ("inclPHPMailerPHPMailerAutoload.php"); $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->IsSMTP(); $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; $mail->Port = 587; $mail->Username = "[email protected]"; $mail->Password = "mypassword"; $mail->SetFrom('[email protected]','Me'); $mail->AddAddress("[email protected]"); $mail->Subject = "Verify your email"; $mail->Body = "Thank you for signing up. Please verify your email using the link below:"; $mail->IsHTML (true); if($mail->Send()){ echo "Success"; }else{ echo "Error"; }
When trying to access the page via Firefox, the page will load for a few minutes, then give this error:
500 — Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.The server is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard running IIS 7.5 and PHP Version 5.5.8. I can access all other pages without issues, but trying to call
$mail->Send()
seems to be timing out or something. I know this because I commented every line and slowly added pieces back in and$mail->Send()
is the line that causes the behavior.My Google abilities are failing me here as I simply cannot figure out how to make this work. Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Update
I opened the server log then tried loading the page again, but no new errors were added to the log. However, I noticed the following errors from today in
System32LogFileshttperr1.log
2014-10-27 06:29:21 1.161.23.122 3148 212.83.145.123 80 HTTP/1.0 CONNECT mx2.mail2000.com.tw:25 400 - URL - 2014-10-27 10:10:12 95.183.244.244 33553 212.83.145.123 80 HTTP/1.1 GET / 400 - Hostname - 2014-10-27 11:25:25 207.38.185.197 51157 212.83.145.123 80 HTTP/1.1 GET /tmUnblock.cgi 400 - Hostname - 2014-10-27 12:46:21 1.168.221.158 7952 212.83.145.123 80 - - - - - Timer_ConnectionIdle -
UPDATE 2
I am positive that my gmail account details are correct and have tested sending from it using Thunderbird on the server. When trying to sent without secured methods, as suggested in this comment I get this error:
MAIL FROM command failed,550,5.7.3 Requested action aborted; user not authenticated
My PHP Mailer version is 5.2.9 and I’ve now also tried the following:
- Using
\
in file paths instead of- No change
- Including
class.phpmailer.php
instead ofPHPMailerAutoload.php
Fatal error: Class 'SMTP' not found in C:inetpubwwwrootinclPHPMailerclass.phpmailer.php on line 1195
- Using ssl over port 465
SMTP connect() failed
- Sending with a hotmail address over port 25 with
$mail->SMTPAuth = false;
MAIL FROM command failed,550,5.7.3 Requested action aborted; user not authenticated
Update 3
After reloading the problem page, I checked through the Event Viewer and saw a new entry in Windows Logs -> System:
PHP Error : syntax error, unexpected BOOL_TRUE in C:PHPphp.ini on line 101
That line is:
php_flag display_errors on

Я продолжаю иметь внутреннюю ошибку 500 на моем веб-сервере, размещенном на GoDaddy с использованием PHPmailer; Я попробовал несколько решений, доступных на StackOverflow, касающихся моей задачи, но ни одно из них не сработало.
Вот мой код:
require 'phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$feedback='';
$flag = array();
if(isset($_POST["submitlogin"]) and $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST"){
$name = seo_friendly_url($_POST['name']);
$email = seo_friendly_url($_POST['email']);
$subject = seo_friendly_url($_POST['subject']);
$message = seo_friendly_url($_POST['message']);
//Email
if (!preg_match("/([w-]+@[w-]+.[w-]+)/",$email)) {
$feedback="Invalid email format";
array_push($flag,"false");
}else {
array_push($flag,"true");
}
//Email
//Name
if (preg_match('/^[-a-zA-Z0-9._]+$/', $name)){
array_push($flag,"true");
}else {
$feedback="Invalid name format";
array_push($flag,"false");
}
//Nameif (!in_array("false", $flag)) {
//SMTP needs accurate times, and the PHP time zone MUST be set
//This should be done in your php.ini, but this is how to do it if you don't have access to that

$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = "smtpout.asia.secureserver.net";
//Set the SMTP port number - likely to be 25, 465 or 587
$mail->Port = 25;
//Whether to use SMTP authentication

//$mail->Password = 'password';
$mail->SMTPAuth = false;
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('email@email.com');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
$mail->addReplyTo($email);
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('email@email.com'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('email@email.com');
$mail->addAddress('email@email.com);
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'HLS Inquiry';
//Read an HTML message body from an external file, convert referenced images to embedded,
//convert HTML into a basic plain-text alternative body

$acknowledgement_receipt = '

</p>
</div>
';if ($mail->send()) {
$feedback = "<span style='color:green;'>Thank you for your inquiry. We will respond to you within 24 hours.</span>";
}
}
Обратите внимание, что я заменил некоторые из значений электронной почты как: email@email.com
для моей конфиденциальности.
Я считал, что настройки электронной почты верны, потому что я уже использовал эти настройки с сайта моего друга, размещенного на JustHost.

Решение
В этой строке отсутствует ни одна кавычка:
$mail->addAddress('email@email.com);
Это довольно очевидно в SO, потому что вы можете видеть, как подсветка синтаксиса ломается в этой точке.
Когда вы получаете ошибку 500 и ничего не отображается, это признак того, что вы должны искать в журнале ошибок вашего веб-сервера.
