An error while sending message on contact us page.

[mecjos]

Hi friends, there is an error on contact us page while seding message. Message text is "an error occurred while sending message". PHP mail function works on my site but i can't send message on this page.

Error comes from

if (Mail::Send(intval($cookie->id_lang), ‘contact’, ‘Message from contact form’, array(’{email}’ => $from, ‘{message}’ => stripslashes($message)), $contact->email, $contact->name, $from, (intval($cookie->id_customer) ? $customer->firstname.’ ‘.$customer->lastname : $from))) $smarty->assign(‘confirmation’, 1); else $errors[] = Tools::displayError(‘an error occurred while sending message’);

lines in contact-from.php

What is the solution of this problem?

Thank you..

I had PHP working, made several config changes, then the contact page stopped working. Got the error you mentioned. I applied the fixes recommended by others but still no luck.

I implemented SMTP and it works great!

I tried to implement SMTP but it didn't work, too. Maybe, i used the wrong settings. But i can send test e-mail selecting php mail function and i can receive the test e-mail but i get an error on contact us page. I can't understand its reason.

You should use SMTP settings like the following if you are using a Gmail account:

SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Encryption: SSL
Port: 465
Login: [email protected]
Password: (Enter your password here)

I have an error to

Error: invalid email subject

why is that ?

That error message means there are invalid characters <>{} in the mail subject. Check your mails//lang.php files. There's probably bad code in there containing the invalid characters.
