PHP Email PHP | Not sending/receiving email

[kelloggs_cpt]

Good day,

Not sure is my mail_form.php is correct? I am not receiving the email once i click "Accept" (submit). Your help would be greatly appreciated:

[CODE lang="php" title="mail_form"]<?php

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$errors = [];
$errorMessage = '';

if (!empty($_POST)) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];


if (empty($name)) {
$errors[] = 'Name is empty';
}

if (empty($email)) {
$errors[] = 'Email is empty';
} else if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$errors[] = 'Email is invalid';
}


if (!empty($errors)) {
$allErrors = join('<br/>', $errors);
$errorMessage = "<p style='color: red;'>{$allErrors}</p>";
} else {
$mail = new PHPMailer();

// specify SMTP credentials
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';
$mail->Password = 'P@ssword123';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;

$mail->setFrom($email, 'Mailtrap Website');
$mail->addAddress('[email protected] ', 'Me');
$mail->Subject = 'RSVP Church';

// Enable HTML if needed
$mail->isHTML(true);

$bodyParagraphs = ["Name: {$name}", "Email: {$email}", "Message:", nl2br($message)];
$body = join('<br />', $bodyParagraphs);
$mail->Body = $body;

echo $body;
if($mail->send()){

header('Location: thank-you.html'); // redirect to 'thank you' page
} else {
$errorMessage = 'Oops, something went wrong. Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
}
}

Hello kelloggs_cp,

Sorry for the very late reply! Did you solve it?

Do you send the mail from a Gmail account? If so, you must activate a configuration on your Gmail so it can be used by external programs such as PHP.
Do you use your own mailserver? If so, does it work by itself? Many internet providers block the port 25 and therefore mailservers can not send mails.
