To do that, set the debug level in your script. For example: - -```php -$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; -$mail->isSMTP(); // tell the class to use SMTP -$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication -$mail->Port = 25; // set the SMTP port -$mail->Host = "mail.yourhost.com"; // SMTP server -$mail->Username = "name@yourhost.com"; // SMTP account username -$mail->Password = "your password"; // SMTP account password -``` - -##Debug levels - -Setting the `SMTPDebug` property results in different amounts of output: - - * `0`: Disable debugging (you can also leave this out completely, 0 is the default). - * `1`: Output messages sent by the client. - * `2`: as 1, plus responses received from the server (this is probably the most useful setting for debugging). - * `3`: as 2, plus more information about the initial connection. - * `4`: as 3, plus even lower-level information, very verbose. - -You don't need to use levels above 2 unless you're having trouble connecting at all - it will just make output more verbose and more difficult to read. - -Note that you will get no output until you call `send()`, because no SMTP conversation takes place until you do that. - -##Debug output format - -The form that the debug output taks is determined by the `Debugoutput` property. This has several options: - - * `echo` Output plain-text as-is, appropriate for CLI - * `html` Output escaped, line breaks converted to `
`, appropriate for browser output - * `error_log` Output to error log as configured in php.ini - -By default PHPMailer will use `echo` if run from a `cli` or `cli-server` SAPI, `html` otherwise. Alternatively, you can implement your own system by providing a callable expecting two parameters: a message string and the debug level: - - $mail->Debugoutput = function($str, $level) {echo "debug level $level; message: $str";}; - -You can of course make this more complex - for example your could capture all the output and store it in a database. - -And finally, don't forget to disable debugging before going into production.
