    I use PHPMailer for everything, has everything I need from html, ssl to bcc and easy debugging why a mail wasn't delivered. Just 'require' the autoloader and you're good to go.

    Not a lot of documentation for it, because it's just that simple :D

    @BertMaurau can you give a good reason that why it works on localhost and doesn't works on a webserver?

    @dextel2 In my case, it's mostly the other way arround, because the server has some extensions installed by default while my localhost is just the basic with some custom extensions :D

    Imo PHP has some good and clear error reporting that perfectly describes where your code hit a snag?

    @dextel2 StackOverflow should guide you in the right directions? :D "phpmailer gmail" and you'll probably find the answers you're looking for. Apparently SMTP acts weird for gmail when localhost or server environment

    @BertMaurau exactly!!! It's pretty weird, I gave up Gmail after 10000 attempts and trying to work around on outlook and Outlook 365, guess what? Same authentication problem... And my webserver has gone offline... 😂

    @dextel2 I have stopped using any type of mail services unless I have a dedicated local server for it.
    I instead use SparkPost, or similar, that offers an API to send emails, so all you need is cURL

    Thank you everyone for you inputs. :)

    @Artemix : That's a resourceful comment, I'll sure check it out soon.
    @ChainsawBaby : That is a sweet solution, I need to learn more in order to understand that
    @WorstVarNames : How many php frameworks are out there? I'll check out lumen :)
    @matthewp3247 : I know I know, but it's to unde rstant with 4chan formatting plus, it is easy to write it that way

    For the love of Linus! Start using Vagrant or Docker or what ever you feel like, but please replicate your server environoment localy!

    @Artemix that's kind of the way docker works. It has no storage that won't be wiped (at least on default).
    I usually use Vagrant for my local dev stuff. Sure you could just spin up a VM by hand, but it simplyfies the process a lot.

    Btw. Docker is a great idea, but how it's implemented makes you cry from time to time.

    @Artemix that indeed shouldn't happen. Where you able to just rebuild the images and continue, where you left off?

    @Artemix wtf? I'm sorry to hear. Good luck fixing that!

    @dextel2 the solution on SO is quite okay in my opinion.
    1) Check if the request is a POST instead of a get request.
    2) check if all the mandatory fields are set (for example use `!empty($x)` and make sure, the reply address is an email address have a look at `filter_var`
    3) add a CSRF token.
