I was going to ask for Laravel, but Dev Henry beat me to it. I'm sure you have Udemy course on Laravel? From a selfish perspective, I would like to see the php way of taking several user input nuber values, carrying out a calculation, and then displaying the result. I've patched together a working JS version, but still not sorted out the validations (RegEx) for the fields.

Hi Dave! Finishing up the second Udemy MVC course man what a blessing. Gonna use this email technique with it. You taught us a lot of what I learned in college about Java in those two courses. Extremely valuable resource for up and coming developers. I am going to build a couple more frameworks using some textbooks I found and implement the best from all of them. Your framework is the baseline the router is awesome thank you! It acts like a sort of white list or catalog of pages a user can access on your site. Very cool piece of the puzzle as far as organization and access control.

Hi Dave, Thank you for making this video! It was super helpful as a beginner to PHP.

I am using the Google SMTP server, but I also tried this with the Outlook SMTP server and the same thing happened. Is this just a limitation from those SMTP servers?

This is a feature of how the SMTP server works, yes. You can't send an email from someone else's account, you can only send it from the account you're authenticating with. You can use a "reply-to" however if you want someone to reply to a different address that you're sending from.

Hello sir I watched your video and tried to install PHPMailer successfully. PHPMailer can work normally on the website set up by XAMPP on the local computer, but PHPMailer cannot work normally when the webpage is uploaded to the PHP website environment on synology , have you ever encountered this problem?
@dave-hollingworth Жыл бұрын
I'm afraid not, I haven't used Synology - it sounds like it's a permissions or network problem if the code works locally - I would suggest contacting their technical support

After submitting the form, error occur: This page isn’t working DOMAIN is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500
@dave-hollingworth Жыл бұрын
A 500 error is an error on the server, most likely an error in the code - try adding these lines to the top of your PHP: ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1'); error_reporting(E_ALL); This will show the error detail instead of the 500 error. Alternatively, look in the web server's error log to see the error detail.

what you have failed to mention in this video is that the "from" portion in the email will use your email to send rather than the person's email to show up making the email portion useless. What you need to put in this video is how to have the "from" portion show up as the person's email. I can see that you are using a third party system to make this work.
@dave-hollingworth Жыл бұрын
You can't send an email from someone else's account. The email is sent from the account that's authorised on the server. What you can do though is add a "reply-to" address, which is what the email client will use as the recipient email address if you click "reply". Not all email clients support this though. For example: $mail->addReplyTo('info@example.com', 'Information');

If you get a generic error message like that, there should be more error detail available in the error log - you should have access to this in the hostinger web panel. This should tell us exactly what the error is and where it's occurring

@@BalkanLeaksArchive Yes, you can use any free SMTP server. I would strongly suggest you use PHPMailer, it's just plain PHP code but wrapped up in a library. There's no reason it shouldn't work on your hosting, and it's so much easier than the mail() function.
