PHPMailer problem

Question

Hi guys,

I am new to php. Trying to send confirmation about user upload. I am trying to use PHP Mailer for this. And have the following code but it doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

<?php

if (!empty($_FILES)) {
    $tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
    $targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $_REQUEST['folder'] . '/';
    $targetFile =  str_replace('//','/',$targetPath) . $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

// $fileTypes  = str_replace('*.','',$_REQUEST['fileext']);
// $fileTypes  = str_replace(';','|',$fileTypes);
// $typesArray = split('\|',$fileTypes);
// $fileParts  = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

// if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$typesArray)) {
    // Uncomment the following line if you want to make the directory if it doesn't exist
    // mkdir(str_replace('//','/',$targetPath), 0755, true);

    move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
    echo "1";



//Send confirmation email

require_once('_mailClasses/class.phpmailer.php');
include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded

$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$body             = 'There is a new online order. Please check your order folder.';
//$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host       = "mail.splashoflondon.com";      // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 2;                              // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                           // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host       = "mail.splashoflondon.com";      // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 26;                         // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "[email protected]";  // SMTP account username
$mail->Password   = "correctpassword";                      // SMTP account password

$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]', 'Splash of London');

$mail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]","First Last");

$mail->Subject    = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp, basic with authentication";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$address = "[email protected]";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");
$mail->Send();
}

?>
