I’m using the MVC format and just while i’m testing, i’m built a simple form where you submit your email and you get sent an email but for some reason when i submit it just keeps loading and then after a few minutes from timeout it returns no errors! Can someone tell me what i’m doing wrong?
Controller
public function reset()
{
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
$email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
$data = [
'email' => $email,
'email_err' => '',
];
if(!filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$data['email_err'] .= 'Invalid email address';
}
if(!$this->user->getUserByEmail($email) && filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$data['email_err'] .= 'Email address does not exist';
}
if(!empty($data['email_err'])) {
$this->view('user/reset', $data);
} else {
try
{
$this->email->sendMail($data['email']);
$this->view('user/login');
}
catch(\Exception $ex) // Global exception again here
{
echo $ex->getMessage();
die();
// Later on, maybe pass the message into a "email not sent" view:
$this->view('common/error'); // Or whatever your view name is
}
}
} else {
$data = [
'email' => '',
'email_err' => ''
];
$this->view('user/reset', $data);
}
}

One thing i know is that the PHPMailer is all up to date, my gmail email and password are fine and if i was to tamper with the file path i get an error saying not found so my code is finding the phpmailer just fine so i don’t know what is wrong?
