I'm trying to include PHP mailer but getting this error:
the location of PHP Mailer is:
and the php.ini file has that as the correct includes path:
and that php.ini file is the one that PHPInfo() gave me.
What am I missing here? Did I break PHP? Was everyone right about PHP all along? Am I a dupe?
Your include_path is commented out
;include_path = ".:/usr/share/php"
^ remove semicolon
Your directory is named libphp-phpmailer and in the require_once you name it libphp-PHPMailer (with upper case letters).
You're using an old version of PHPMailer and you're loading it in the wrong way. Please get the latest version and read the docs on loading, or add PHPMailer to your composer.json.
For a manual load you should do:
require '/path/to/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
As you're using composer (though you've commented it out), you don't even need to do that much since the composer autoloader will work.
You've also based your code on an old example, so I suggest you update that too using one of the examples provided.
