Phpmailer: phpmailer invalid address (punyEncode) root@localhost

[cschivaz]

I'm just try tp use but i got Error "invalid address (punyEncode) root@localhost"
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try{
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = '*@gmail.com';
$mail->Password = ' ** ';
$mail->SetFrom = ('[email protected]');
$mail->Subject = 'Test sending mail';
$mail->Body = 'My Body & My Description';
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');
$mail->send();
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}

How can i solve this?

Did you copy this code from an example? If yes, please give the reference, so it can be fixed.

$mail->SetFrom = ('[email protected]');

This is incorrect usage of SetFrom. It is a method, but your code treats it as a variable. Replace with:

$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]');

Thank you so much.

Try reading your own code?

$mail->setFrom = $webmaster_email;

You have not set a value for $webmaster_email, so it generates a default From address from your PHP config. Solution: set it properly.

I would suggest you to change your password because I myself tempted to enter in your email and who knows what else ...

1. You made the same mistake as the original poster. Read again this thread. You should write $mail->setFrom($email);.
2. Remove your password from your code snippet.

The foul example code is posted at cloudways.com.
I left them a comment, hope they fix it.

$mail->setFrom([email protected]);
or
$mail->setFrom($webmaster_email);

then i get this error...
Invalid address: (to):

This may come as a shock, but that error will be because your to address is invalid.

[Qkarendaz]

Thank you.... I have resolved the issue
