    in PHP Advanced and Object-Oriented Programming: Visual QuickPro Guide (3rd Edition)

    Posted

    I have studied php introduction and php advanced object oriented programming, Was able to get my hands on small projects such as building small websites, Buiding forums. I will like to know which project book is the best php project book guide to guide developers on building dynamic applications(such as social media platforms, educational platform, online libraries...etc) using php. Which is the best with detail and straight forward explanation.

     I figured out.. that to use phpmailer, the class had to be defined first(i.e. immediately after the opening php tag) before any line of code.

    The mistake i did when trying to use it before was; i included the class only within the body of my script when the code for the message section was written which then threw the exception (UNCAUGHT ERROR ;PHPMAILER CLASS NOT FOUND). So in order to use the phpmailer to send email from a particular script, I did as this:

    <?php

    //define the phpmailer class

    use PHPMAILER\PHPMAILER\PHPMAILER;

    use PHPMAILER\PHPMAILER\Exception;

    /*

    here comes the code for the script,

    for instance including a script, validating the form, checking if the form has been submitted,

    submitting and whatever..

    */

    /*

    After wriiting all the codes above, the section of code which should

    send the mail  is the phpmailer body with my credentials for authentication.

    */

      require 'absolute path to the autoload.php file';
     
                    $mail = new PHPMailer(TRUE);
     
                    try {
       
                        $mail->setFrom('email@example.com', 'optional');
     
                        $mail->addAddress($trimmed['email'], $trimmed['first_name']);
     
                        $mail->Subject = 'Subject';
     
                        $mail->Body = $body(comes from the lines of codes written above before this section of codes);
                        
                        /* SMTP parameters. */
                        
                        /* Tells PHPMailer to use SMTP. */
                        $mail->isSMTP();
                        
                        /* SMTP server address. */
                        $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
                     
                        /* Use SMTP authentication. */
                        $mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
                        
                        /* Set the encryption system. */
                        $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
                        
                        /* SMTP authentication username. */
                        $mail->Username = 'email address to be use to send the mail to other email addresses';
                        
                        /* SMTP authentication password. */
                        $mail->Password = 'password of email address used to send the mail to other email addresses';
                        
                        /* Set the SMTP port. */
                        $mail->Port = 587;
                        
                        /* Finally send the mail. */
                        $mail->send();
                       
                     }
                     catch (Exception $e)
                     {
                        echo $e->errorMessage();
                     }
                     catch (\Exception $e)
                     {
                        echo $e->getMessage();
                     }
     
                    // finish the page
                    echo '<h3>A message to confirm that the mail was sent.</h3>';
     
                    include('includes/footer.html');
                    exit();

    To tag main page of concern

    Hello i am new to this forum, with reference to Mr. Larry's book " PHP 6 AND MYSQL FOR DYNAMIC WEBSITES VISUAL QUICKPRO GUIDE" low price edition. Please, i have been trying to login a user for the  pass two days but i am not getting it right because i can't access the login page without activating the account which is done by clicking the the link in the email. So the problem is i don't receive the email after configuring the sendmail.ini and the php.in for the email, therefore i am stuck and i can't proceed. i even downloaded thunderbird for sending and receiving the emails and also configured the mercury  and added new users through on the control panel admin->configuration->manage users->Add...

    I even tried creating the simple login page that will not require the user to activate his account through the link using the example in chapter 11. But still couldn't get it right.

    Please i will really like to have help from this forum,

    Thank you.
