How can I get the error message for the mail function

0 votes

I've been using the PHP mail() function.

If the mail doesn't send for any reason, I'd like to echo the error message. How would I do that?

Something like

$this_mail = mail('example@example.com', 'My Subject', $message);

if($this_mail) echo 'sent!';
else echo error_message;

Hello @kartik,

You can use error_get_last() when mai l()returns false.

$success = mail('example@example.com', 'My Subject', $message);
if (!$success) {
    $errorMessage = error_get_last()['message'];
}

With print_r(error_get_last()), you get something like this:

[type] => 2
[message] => mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "x.x.x.x" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()
[file] => C:\www\X\X.php
[line] => 2

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
