Sending activation emails through GMail

[enterv0id]

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this awesome work, I love it! I'm trying to use the PHPMailer function to send out activation emails through gmail account:
const EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com';
const SMTP_PORT = '587';

I've already enabled less secure apps and IMAP access in Gmail settings, but it throws this fatal error right after registration:

2021/02/23 22:55:53 [error] 36592#36592: *721 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class 'PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception' not found in /var/www/html/test/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php:2035

I'm not sure how to resolve the Exception issue. Should I use compose for PHPMailer?
Thanks in advance

It would be best to use composer, I didn't initially do it this way because I wanted it to be simple.

However, it looks like the error is from the missing Exception.php file.

Link for non composer solution?

It works perfectly using composer require function. Thank you!

My only issue now the activation link. When I click on it, it drops this error in nginx log:

2021/02/24 10:49:03 [error] 46388#46388: *394 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to protected method doRegisterAttempt::verifyAccount() from context '' in /var/www/html/dashboard/activate.php:5

commit 39805104c33a87abe6c0f811aad3a9f226fb9fda should fix this

[enterv0id]

changing to public returns Error: Call to a member function outputString() on bool in /var/www/html/dashboard/activate.php:6

line 6 in activate.php
($verify) ? $verify->outputString("Account activated") : $verify->outputString("Key is invalid");

Now it removes the key for the registered uid from activate_keys in MySQL before returning the error when clicking activation link and activates the registration, only the return message function not working

My mistake, i just had the wrong variable assigned 0c706c53ca8b50209fb0be26e493ed6457010957.

Everything's perfect now, thank you!
