SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: The following From address failed: : Called Mail() without being connected Mailer Error
Question
I have been stuck here for almost a week. I actually followed the steps in the tutorials, but had no luck. I downloaded this phpmailer and got version 5.4.2. the code below is an example of this downloaded phpmailer but it does not work for me. I have already configure the sendmail and php.ini. I have also enable some extensions such as php openssl and phpsocket php smtp and the apache module. I hope someone will help me with this problem,I hope. Here is my code below:
<html>
<head>
<title>PHPMailer - SMTP (Gmail) basic test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
error_reporting(E_STRICT);
date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');
require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');
class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = "dasdf";
$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 = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "gg@gmail.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "ggg"; // GMAIL password
$mail->SetFrom('gg@gmail.com', 'jj');
$mail->AddReplyTo("gg@gmail.com","jj");
$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 = "espadadave@yahoo.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "Dave");
$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!";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

That version of PHPMailer is very out of date (last updated February 2013); it has been superseded by https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
Before anything else, you should upgrade to the latest version; There's a good chance you're trying to work around a bug that's already been fixed.
You'll find the usage is almost identical; check the example on the GitHub page for the obvious differences in the current version.
You should also enable SMTP debugging by adding
$mail->SMTPDebug = 3;
