I am certain that [e-mail] is not a valid email recipient. You probably have not done the required setup/customization of your phpmailer script, more specific the default addresses that are specified in that template.

hi,

thanks for immediate reply..

my php code is:

require('phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
    $mail = new PHPMailer();
    $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
    $mail->SMTPAuth = "true";
    $mail->Host="smtp.gmail.com";
    $mail->From = "[e-mail]";
    $mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]");
    $mail->CharSet='iso-8859-1';
    $mail->ContentType='text/plain';
    $mail->Subject = "Service Transcription Details";
    $body='Name :'.$_POST['name']."\n";
    $body.='Company :'.$_POST['company']."\n";
    $body.='City/State/Zip :'.$_POST['postcode']."\n";    
    $body.='Phone :'.$_POST['phone']."\n";
    $body.='Fax :'.$_POST['fax']."\n";
    $body.='E-mail :'.$_POST['email']."\n";
    $body.='Which Transcription Service are interested in :'.$_POST['service']."\n";
    $body.='Delivery :'.$_POST['delivery']."\n";
    $body.='Audio/Video Media Digital :'.$_POST['media']."\n";
    $body.='How do you found us? :'.$_POST['find'];
    $mail->Body=$body;
 
    if($mail->Send())
    {
        echo '<script language="javascript">alert("mail has sent successfully")</script>';
    }
    else 
    {
        echo 'error in sending mail: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
        $mail->ClearAddresses();
        $mail->ClearAttachments();
    }
}

Next time define your code within tags as stated in the Posting Guidelines!!!
also, i gave username and password for the host. again, i got another error...

"error in sending mail: The following From address failed: [e-mail] "

Please read the Posting Guidelines before you post in this forum!, especially CODE.

Playing around with your code I found that I had the same error. But changing the SMTP server to a valid SMTP server did send the email.

So are you sure that this statement

$mail->Host="smtp.gmail.com";
 

is entirely correct?

There is a problem in the host:smtp.gmail.com..i used swiftmailer to send mail..
because, gmail supports TLS support..but, when i run the code, i get the error:


"Connection to the given MTA failed. The Connection Interface said: Unable to find the socket transport "tls" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?"

anybody know how to configure TLS in php5?
