our localhost server.

Download PHPMailer from Github:

Create an Google App Password:

You can buy me a coffee and get the whole source code in a zip file.

[miltonoliveira]

TOOOOP, great!!! You are incredible!!! You save me. 🤣🤣🤣

[andasfs]

great tutorial! do you use xampp to run it on locahost? because, i have a problem, when i press submit to send the email, it loads infinitely and i don't get a success or fail message, any ideas what the issue could be?

I see a lot of tutorials that show us how to send emails from the same adress, but how to do this with 2 adresses ??

Thanks for the info. One question, why there is no Html file, does the index.php replaces it? Thank you!

[DigitalAdamTech]

After submitting the form the email goes to the email address that the end-user enters in the form, not my gmail address. I double-checked everything and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Please advise, thanks.

Thank you so very much sir. Please, may I ask, did you make any settings changes in your php.ini file?

[benjaminmanalastasix]

Got an error from index.php that I can't call the sendEmail function? I put require to link my script.php but still error. Where did I go wrong?

[Rudy-RickEstacio]

This is like 10th video that does not work. Is there working contact form in 2024 or do i need to use wordpress ? thanks

[ianrobson]

Firstly thank you for such a great video. I downloaded the source code from your page a I could not get it to work properly when I entered the code myself it kept on telling me email sent successfully when i opened the page. Now the page will not open and i notice that the code for the index.php is not the same as you have on the video. It does not have the validation test only the submit. Have I done something wrong?

[SaiRam-mopu]

It supports localhost by xampp server ??
