Issue with PHPMailer for my website
by Bala451987 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GG9H)
I'm uncertain if this question aligns with the forum's scope, but I'm eager to ask: I configured PHP Mailer on my website, but I encountered an error:
2023-11-19 09:33:12 SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused (111)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Failed to connect to server
Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Failed to connect to serverSMTP server error: Failed to connect to server SMTP code: 111 Additional SMTP info: Connection refused
I am configured my Email with Zoho.I leave Zoho smtp settings here: https://www.zoho.com/mail/help/zoho-smtp.html
I tried to attach my php file but i can't, so i paste it below here. So please spot me an error:
Code:<?php
// Declare variables
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$phone = $_POST["phone"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
// Validate email address
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo 'Invalid email address';
exit;
}
