PHPMailer class to post mails from website.
To post mails from website phpmailer is much better and easy to use than using PHP mail() function. Installation of phpmailer
Visit github and download the PHPMailer zip file, place them inside a folder say my_phpmailer. You have to include the file class.phpmailer.phprequire_once('my_phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');This is an object oriented program so we will create the object first.
$email = new PHPMailer();<?php
$bodytext=' This is the body of the test mail ';
$subject= 'plus2 Message Subject'.date(" H:i:s", time());
require_once('my_phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->From = 'userid@example.com';
$email->From = AddReplyTo( 'userid@example.com', 'Contact Admin' );
$email->FromName = 'Your Name';
$email->Subject = $subject;
$email->Body = $bodytext;
$email->AddAddress('userid1@example.com');
$email->AddAddress('userid2@example.com');
if(!$email->send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $email->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent successfully";
}
?>
Sending HTML Email
After the $email->Body we will add this .$email->Body = $bodytext;
$email->IsHTML(true);// HTML email
Adding CC & BCC
$email->AddCC('userid3@example.com);
$email->AddBCC('userid4@example.com');Sending file as attachment with mail
$file_to_attach = 'your_dir/top.pdf'; // Path with file name
$email->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach);// File attached
<?php
$bodytext=' This is the body of the test mail ';
$subject= 'plus2 Message Subject'.date(" H:i:s", time());
require_once('my_phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->From = 'userid@example.com';
$email->From = AddReplyTo( 'userid@example.com', 'Contact Admin' );
$email->FromName = 'Your Name';
$email->Subject = $subject;
$email->Body = $bodytext;
$email->AddAddress('userid1@example.com');
$email->AddAddress('userid2@example.com');
$file_to_attach = 'your_dir/top.pdf'; // Path with file name
$email->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach);// File attached
if(!$email->send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $email->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent successfully";
}
?>
