It’s it a message error !
@Yechiel17 You either need to include Composer's autoloader as done in the source code above, or load the classes manually as described here.
the error is resolved but now in the part of the script how can the message sent from my site land directly on my email address knowing that it is a professional address?
@Yechiel17 This might help
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "phpmailer\phpmailer\src\PHPMailer" not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\send-email.php:13 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\send-email.php on line 13

So how to add vendor file

@Kpvadhiya You need to use Composer to install PHPMailer
Thank you a lot for your work. I learned a lot. The only think I did not is that I sent an email via form with my 2nd account but at inbox there is no appear 2nd email but the email I set.
@konstantinosiakovou Check your spam folder, or try a different SMTP server / account

Thank you so much for your reply. I will think about it.
Hi Dave!
thanks for the awesome youTube video, helped my a lot. It's working for me, the form is submitting and I am receiving an mail. Only issue is, that the $mail->setFrom($email, $name); is not working.
I am using smtp gmail with my account, and the mail always comes from Tobixxx@gmail.com. Any ideas how I could set the From status to the variable and input from the form? Or do I have to use another server?
Thanks for your help already.
Cheers, Tobi
@tobiholic Hi Toby - you can only send email from the account you're authenticating with. So if you're using Gmail, the email sent from PHP will always come from your Gmail account. (Otherwise you could send email that looked like it came from someone else) However, in this case what we tend to do is set the reply-to address, so that when you reply to the email, it replies to another address and not the sender. So like this:
$mail->addReplyTo($email, $name);
Then you'll get the email from your Gmail account, but when you click reply, the email client will reply to the other email address.
awesome, that also helps! Thanks for your quick reply.
hello dave please help me i have this problem"This page isn’t workingIf the problem continues, contact the site owner.
HTTP ERROR 405

Hi Dm-cr7,
I experienced the same. Best is to include
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;
in your .php file. It will print you out detail server information and you can find the issue easier. Dave also explains this in his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIYyemqKR58&t=420s
After I uploaded the script to a web server, I could see the the SMTPAuth was not working and I knew where to check! Hope that helps you also.
Greetings Mr. Daveh,
I would like to send you my appreciations for making these instructions available. I followed the steps you provided on this video: https://youtu.be/fIYyemqKR58 . But from its segment which time starts from 3 minutes 53 seconds, you recommended to install the PHP Mailer Package.
Would you please help me understand how to install the PHP Mailer Package on the cPannel provided by the website host?
Also, in the video segment starting from 4 minutes 05 seconds, you said: "On the command line from the same folder as our code, we'll run the command to install the PHP Mailer package." Would you please help me understand how to process this information you made available?
I will greatly appreciate your help,
Guy
Greetings Mr. Daveh,
From the youtube video you provided, you said:
"on the command line from the same folder as our code we'll run the command to install the PHP Mailer package"
May I please know where to find that specific "command line" you mentioned in your video?
Thank you in advance,
Guy
@GuyCos In Windows it's the command prompt application, in Mac it's called Terminal I believe. You need to change to the folder where your code is using the "cd" command.
To install packages with Composer, you need to have it installed, instructions here.
Then you can follow the instructions in the video. You don't need to install it on your live server, rather the usual method is to install the code locally, then copy it live. (it will install code to the vendor folder, just copy that whole folder to your live server)
@GuyCos Is the vendor folder inside the public_html folder?
@GuyCos I'm afraid I can't see the screenshots. The composer.lock file (along with the composer.json file) is generated automatically when you run the composer install command. It will be in the same place the vendor folder was.
I suggest you run the composer install command again from your public_html folder, so that all the files are in the correct place.
When I try to send an email with my personal website and I click "Send", it just downloads a send-email.php file which is exactly just the code. Any help with this?
@jcdynasteel Sounds like you're opening form.html as a file, not from a web server - if so the web address will be something like file:///path/to/form.html instead of http://example.com/form.html.
If it's not that, please share a screenshot of what happens.
hey Daveh can we do this work without hosting the site? i did this work on sublime text
@Shafeeqvv You need to be able to run PHP - the simplest way to do this is to install something like XAMPP and put the scripts in the root folder, then load them from there.
It’s message error !
