I have an Android HTML5 php application where I want to enable users to send emails to other people by using Gmail or Yahoo. This is the code that I use 

<?php


$smtp=$_GET["smtp"];
$youremail= $_GET["youremail"];   
$emailpassword=$_GET["emailpassword"]; 
$companyemail=$_GET["companyemail"]; 
$messagetitle= $_GET["messagetitle"];
$messagetext=$_GET["messagetext"];

//this is a path to PHP mailer class you have dowloaded

include("class.phpmailer.php");

$emailChunks = explode(",", $companyemail);
for($i = 0; $i < count($emailChunks); $i++){
//  echo "Piece $i =  <br />";


$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 1; // errors and messages



//$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";                 // sets the prefix to the servier

$mail->Port       = 587;  

$mail->Host = "$smtp";

$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication

$mail->Username = "$youremail"; // SMTP username

$mail->Password = "$emailpassword"; // SMTP password

$mail->From = "$youremail"; //do NOT fake header.

$mail->FromName = "$youremail";

$mail->AddAddress("$emailChunks[$i]"); // Email on which you want to send mail

$mail->AddReplyTo("$emailpassword", "Reply to"); //optional

$mail->IsHTML(true);

$mail->Subject = "$messagetitle";

$mail->Body = "$messagetext";

if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo $mail->ErrorInfo;
}else{
echo "email was sent";

}

}


?>

Error that i get is: Invalid address: mysmtppassxxxxSMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)


SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host

when I do a var_dump($email) I get

  • You will need **$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";** for google for example. Some SMTP provider need ssl for access. worth a try. – Michael Mitch Sep 15 '13 at 00:18
  • I get the same error again! – Jovo Krneta Sep 15 '13 at 00:35
  • somehow if you try SSL on nonSSL server will timeout too. which server you are trying to connect to? could you make a dump of all variables **except user and password**? – Michael Mitch Sep 15 '13 at 00:36
  • I am using bluehost servers , I can send emails from php scripts without using SMTP but if I do so I will be in problems with great number of emails being send from my server. The data is sent ok to the php page , I have a list of email separated by "," I explode those and I send emails in a loop – Jovo Krneta Sep 15 '13 at 00:40
  • As Michael said, could you make a dump of all variables? The key ones talking about the protocols, and the addresses used. – Shade Sep 15 '13 at 01:03
  • I updated the question there is no my password in the var_dump!? – Jovo Krneta Sep 15 '13 at 01:17
  • is that a `var_dump()` of `$mail` or `$_GET` ? – Shade Sep 15 '13 at 02:11
  • it is a var_dump of $mail! – Jovo Krneta Sep 15 '13 at 10:20

The $mail->AddAddress() section has invalid syntax.

Change it from $mail->AddAddress("$emailChunks[$i]"); to $mail->AddAddress("${emailChunks[$i]}");

Basically, the parser doesn't recognize that the subscript isn't part of the string.

This article explains it in more depth: Can I subscript an array variable inside a double quoted PHP string?
