php5 - PHPMailer trouble

I'm working on a Mac OS snow leopard laptop.

I have a win2003 server runing email server and I can send emails from my laptop via that mail server. Also I have mybb test forum installed on the laptop that can send emails via my win2003 server (with non ssl connection).

But I have trouble using PHPMailer scripts send emails. Although I used smtp auth, set the username and password in my mail script. It just not working.

The problem is that the script not even show any error msg.

So my question is: How to debug PHPMailer script? At least how to show the errors?

Thanks for your help

I made some progress: on windows, it work well, but the same testing code not working on my osx snow leopard:

Invalid address: me@mydomain address: me@mydomainInvalid address: him@hisdomainMailer Error: You must provide at least one recipient email address.

where me@mydomain and him@hisdomain represent the email addresses I provided. Thay worked well under windows (I got the mail), but on snow leopard, it gave me strange msg with no new line....

Anyone used PHPMailer with snow leopard and PHP Version 5.3.15?

Thanks a lot DavidMR! Here is the code:

The code
There 3 files total in a folder mlr, put the folder to webserver document root and let the browser point to
http://localhost/mlr/smtp_basic.php
you can then see the result.

On my snow leopard, the error msg is

Code:

Invalid address: developer@advisors-online.comInvalid address: developer@advisors-online.comInvalid address: tster@advisors-online.comMailer Error: You must provide at least one recipient email address.

while on my xp system, it said

Code:

.....
Message sent!

The code of smtp_basic.php is:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>PHPMailer - SMTP basic test with authentication</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php

//error_reporting(E_ALL);
error_reporting(E_STRICT);

date_default_timezone_set('America/Denver');

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

$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host       = "elinkage.net"; // 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       = "advisors-online.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 25;                    // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "developer@advisors-online.com"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password   = "caicaikan";        // SMTP account password
$mail->ContentType = 'fext/plain';
$mail->IsHTML(false);

$mail->SetFrom('developer@advisors-online.com', 'Developer ADV');
$mail->AddReplyTo('developer@advisors-online.com', 'Developer ADV');

$mail->Subject    = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp, basic with authentication";
$mail->Body    = "Testing msg....\nPlease ignore.........";

$address = "tster@advisors-online.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "Tester ADV");

if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
  echo "Message sent!";
}

?>
