How to check php mailer configuration

To check the PHP Mailer configuration, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using the phpinfo() function

Create a new PHP file (e.g., info.php) and add the following code:
```
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
```
Save the file and upload it to your server.
Access the file in your browser by visiting http://example.com/info.php (replace example.com with your domain name).
Scroll down to the "mail" section, which should display the PHP Mailer configuration settings.

Method 2: Using the var_dump() function

Create a new PHP file (e.g., mailer.php) and add the following code:
```
<?php
$mail = new PHPMailer();
var_dump($mail->getSettings());
?>
```
Save the file and upload it to your server.
Access the file in your browser by visiting http://example.com/mailer.php (replace example.com with your domain name).
The var_dump() function will output the PHP Mailer configuration settings.

Method 3: Using the mail() function

Create a new PHP file (e.g., test.php) and add the following code:


<?php
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'your_smtp_host';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'your_smtp_username';
$mail->Password = 'your_smtp_password';
$mail->setFrom('your_from_email', 'Your Name');
$mail->addAddress('your_to_email');
$mail->Subject = 'Test Email';
$mail->Body = 'This is a test email';

if (!$mail->send()) { echo 'Error: '. $mail->ErrorInfo; } else { echo 'Email sent successfully!'; } ?>


2. Replace the placeholders (`your_smtp_host`, `your_smtp_username`, `your_smtp_password`, `your_from_email`, `your_to_email`) with your actual SMTP server settings and email addresses.
3. Save the file and upload it to your server.
4. Access the file in your browser by visiting `http://example.com/test.php` (replace `example.com` with your domain name).
5. If the email is sent successfully, it means that the PHP Mailer configuration is correct. If you encounter an error, it will display the error message, which can help you identify the issue.

By using one of these methods, you should be able to check the PHP Mailer configuration and identify any issues that may be preventing your emails from being sent.
