I'm attempting to create a contact form for my site using PHPMailer and AngularJS with Gmail. I've followed the examples provided by PHPMailer themselves and a few online tutorials but I'm running into trouble. The page receives no error when it triggers the script but I never get the email from the form. Here is my code:
AngularJS Markup:
<div ng-controller="ContactCtrl" class="panel-body">
<form ng-submit="submit(contactform)" name="contactform" method="post" action="" class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error': contactform.inputName.$invalid && submitted }">
<label for="inputName" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Name</label>
<div class="col-lg-10">
<input ng-model="formData.inputName" type="text" class="form-control" id="inputName" name="inputName" placeholder="Your Name" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error': contactform.inputEmail.$invalid && submitted }">
<label for="inputEmail" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-lg-10">
<input ng-model="formData.inputEmail" type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" name="inputEmail" placeholder="Your Email" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error': contactform.inputSubject.$invalid && submitted }">
<label for="inputSubject" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Subject</label>
<div class="col-lg-10">
<input ng-model="formData.inputSubject" type="text" class="form-control" id="inputSubject" name="inputSubject" placeholder="Subject Message" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error': contactform.inputMessage.$invalid && submitted }">
<label for="inputMessage" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Message</label>
<div class="col-lg-10">
<textarea ng-model="formData.inputMessage" class="form-control" rows="4" id="inputMessage" name="inputMessage" placeholder="Your message..." required></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-offset-2 col-lg-10">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" ng-disabled="submitButtonDisabled">Send Message</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<p ng-class="result" style="padding: 15px; margin: 0;">{{ resultMessage }}</p>
</div>
AngularJS Controller:
angular.module('v2App')
.controller('ContactCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.result = 'hidden'
$scope.resultMessage;
$scope.formData; //formData is an object holding the name, email, subject, and message
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = false;
$scope.submitted = false; //used so that form errors are shown only after the form has been submitted
$scope.submit = function(contactform) {
$scope.submitted = true;
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = true;
if (contactform.$valid) {
$http({
method : 'POST',
url : 'contact-form.php',
data : $.param($scope.formData), //param method from jQuery
headers : { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' } //set the headers so angular passing info as form data (not request payload)
}).success(function(data){
console.log(data);
if (data.success) { //success comes from the return json object
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = true;
$scope.resultMessage = data.message;
$scope.result='bg-success';
} else {
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = false;
$scope.resultMessage = data.message;
$scope.result='bg-danger';
}
});
} else {
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = false;
$scope.resultMessage = 'Failed.';
$scope.result='bg-danger';
}
}
});
PHP. The PHPMailer files are located within the phpmailer directory.
<?php
require_once 'phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
if (isset($_POST['inputName']) && isset($_POST['inputEmail']) && isset($_POST['inputSubject']) && isset($_POST['inputMessage'])) {
//check if any of the inputs are empty
if (empty($_POST['inputName']) || empty($_POST['inputEmail']) || empty($_POST['inputSubject']) || empty($_POST['inputMessage'])) {
$data = array('success' => false, 'message' => 'Please fill out the form completely.');
echo json_encode($data);
exit;
}
//create an instance of PHPMailer
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->From = $_POST['inputEmail'];
$mail->FromName = $_POST['inputName'];
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]'); //recipient
$mail->Subject = $_POST['inputSubject'];
$mail->Body = "Name: " . $_POST['inputName'] . "\r\n\r\nMessage: " . stripslashes($_POST['inputMessage']);
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = gethostbyname('smtp.gmail.com');\
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
$mail->Password = "passwordform";
$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Contact Form');
if (isset($_POST['ref'])) {
$mail->Body .= "\r\n\r\nRef: " . $_POST['ref'];
}
if(!$mail->send()) {
$data = array('success' => false, 'message' => 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo);
echo json_encode($data);
exit;
}
$data = array('success' => true, 'message' => 'Thanks! We have received your message.');
echo json_encode($data);
} else {
$data = array('success' => false, 'message' => 'Please fill out the form completely.');
echo json_encode($data);
}
Any assistance would be appreciated. I don't have any kind of logs I can refer to so I'm not sure what is causing this to fail. I've done all of the standard tests such as verifying the password etc. Two-step authentication is turned off for the account as it's a dummy account for sending out mail.
Thanks
