This is the last version to support PHP4. We've made the move to PHP5 and
15
all of our efforts now are into PHPMailer for PHP5/6.

PHP4 continues to be a major platform for developers. We are responding
20
to the emails received to continue development for PHP4 with this
21
release.
22
23
We have removed the /phpdoc from the downloads. All documentation is now on
24
the http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com website.

34
Version 2.0.2 (June 04 2008)
35
36
With this release, we are announcing that the development of PHPMailer for PHP5
37
will be our focus from this date on. We have implemented all the enhancements
38
and fixes from the sourceforge.net Tracker.
39
40
** NOTE: WE HAVE A NEW LANGUAGE VARIABLE FOR DIGITALLY SIGNED S/MIME EMAILS.
41
   IF YOU CAN HELP WITH LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, IT WOULD BE
42
   APPRECIATED.
43
44
We have now added S/MIME functionality (ability to digitally sign emails).
45
BIG THANKS TO "sergiocambra" for posting this patch back in November 2007.
46
The "Signed Emails" functionality adds the Sign method to pass the private key
47
filename and the password to read it, and then email will be sent with
48
content-type multipart/signed and with the digital signature attached.
49
50
We have also included more example files to show the use of "sendmail", "mail()",
51
"smtp", and "gmail".
52
53
We are also looking for more programmers to join the volunteer development team.
54
If you have an interest in this, please let us know.
55
56
Enjoy!

As of November 2007, PHPMailer has a new project team headed by industry
61
veteran Andy Prevost (codeworxtech). The first release in more than two
62
years will focus on fixes, adding ease-of-use enhancements, provide
63
basic compatibility with PHP4 and PHP5 using PHP5 backwards compatibility
64
features. A new release is planned before year-end 2007 that will provide
65
full compatiblity with PHP4 and PHP5, as well as more bug fixes.
66
67
We are looking for project developers to assist in restoring PHPMailer to
68
its leadership position. Our goals are to simplify use of PHPMailer, provide
69
good documentation and examples, and retain backward compatibility to level
70
1.7.3 standards.

Class Features:
83

84
- Redundant SMTP servers
85
- Multipart/alternative emails for mail clients that do not read HTML email
86
- Support for 8bit, base64, binary, and quoted-printable encoding
87
- Uses the same methods as the very popular AspEmail active server (COM) component
88
- SMTP authentication
89
- Native language support
90
- Word wrap, and more!
91
92
Why you might need it:
93
94
Many PHP developers utilize email in their code.  The only PHP function
95
that supports this is the mail() function.  However, it does not expose
96
any of the popular features that many email clients use nowadays like
97
HTML-based emails and attachments. There are two proprietary
98
development tools out there that have all the functionality built into
99
easy to use classes: AspEmail(tm) and AspMail.  Both of these
100
programs are COM components only available on Windows.  They are also a
101
little pricey for smaller projects.
102
103
Since I do Linux development I?ve missed these tools for my PHP coding.
104
So I built a version myself that implements the same methods (object
105
calls) that the Windows-based components do. It is open source and the
106
LGPL license allows you to place the class in your proprietary PHP
107
projects.
108
109
110
Installation:
111
112
Copy class.phpmailer.php into your php.ini include_path. If you are
113
using the SMTP mailer then place class.smtp.php in your path as well.
114 907 doc
In the language directory you will find several files like
115
phpmailer.lang-en.php.  If you look right before the .php extension
116
that there are two letters.  These represent the language type of the
117
translation file.  For instance "en" is the English file and "br" is
118
the Portuguese file.  Chose the file that best fits with your language
119
and place it in the PHP include path.  If your language is English
120
then you have nothing more to do.  If it is a different language then
121
you must point PHPMailer to the correct translation.  To do this, call
122 386 Ruebenwurz
the PHPMailer SetLanguage method like so:
123
124
// To load the Portuguese version
125
$mail->SetLanguage("br", "/optional/path/to/language/directory/");
126
127
That's it.  You should now be ready to use PHPMailer!
128
129
130
A Simple Example:
131
132
<?php
133
require("class.phpmailer.php");
134
135
$mail = new PHPMailer();
136
137
$mail->IsSMTP();                                      // set mailer to use SMTP
138
$mail->Host = "smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com";  // specify main and backup server
139
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication
140
$mail->Username = "jswan";  // SMTP username
141
$mail->Password = "secret"; // SMTP password
142
143
$mail->From = "from@example.com";
144
$mail->FromName = "Mailer";
145
$mail->AddAddress("josh@example.net", "Josh Adams");
146
$mail->AddAddress("ellen@example.com");                  // name is optional
147
$mail->AddReplyTo("info@example.com", "Information");
148
149
$mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 // set word wrap to 50 characters
150
$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz");         // add attachments
151
$mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg");    // optional name
152
$mail->IsHTML(true);                                  // set email format to HTML
153
154
$mail->Subject = "Here is the subject";
155
$mail->Body    = "This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>";
156
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients";
157
158
if(!$mail->Send())
159
{
160
   echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
161
   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
162
   exit;
163
}
164
165
echo "Message has been sent";
166
?>
