PHPMailer

Full Featured Email Transfer Class for PHP

==========================================

** NOTE:

As of November 2007, PHPMailer has a new project team headed by industry

veteran Andy Prevost (codeworxtech). The first release in more than two

years will focus on fixes, adding ease-of-use enhancements, provide

basic compatibility with PHP4 and PHP5 using PHP5 backwards compatibility

features. A new release is planned before year-end 2007 that will provide

full compatiblity with PHP4 and PHP5, as well as more bug fixes.

We are looking for project developers to assist in restoring PHPMailer to

its leadership position. Our goals are to simplify use of PHPMailer, provide

good documentation and examples, and retain backward compatibility to level

1.7.3 standards.

This software is licenced under the LGPL.  Please read LICENSE for information on the

software availability and distribution.

Class Features:

- Send emails with multiple TOs, CCs, BCCs and REPLY-TOs

- Redundant SMTP servers

- Multipart/alternative emails for mail clients that do not read HTML email

- Support for 8bit, base64, binary, and quoted-printable encoding

- Uses the same methods as the very popular AspEmail active server (COM) component

- SMTP authentication

- Native language support

- Word wrap, and more!

Why you might need it:

Many PHP developers utilize email in their code.  The only PHP function

that supports this is the mail() function.  However, it does not expose

any of the popular features that many email clients use nowadays like

HTML-based emails and attachments. There are two proprietary

development tools out there that have all the functionality built into

easy to use classes: AspEmail(tm) and AspMail.  Both of these

programs are COM components only available on Windows.  They are also a

little pricey for smaller projects.

Since I do Linux development I?ve missed these tools for my PHP coding.

So I built a version myself that implements the same methods (object

calls) that the Windows-based components do. It is open source and the

LGPL license allows you to place the class in your proprietary PHP

projects.

Installation:

Copy class.phpmailer.php into your php.ini include_path. If you are

using the SMTP mailer then place class.smtp.php in your path as well.

In the language directory you will find several files like 

phpmailer.lang-en.php.  If you look right before the .php extension 

that there are two letters.  These represent the language type of the 

translation file.  For instance "en" is the English file and "br" is 

the Portuguese file.  Chose the file that best fits with your language 

and place it in the PHP include path.  If your language is English 

then you have nothing more to do.  If it is a different language then 

you must point PHPMailer to the correct translation.  To do this, call 

the PHPMailer SetLanguage method like so:

// To load the Portuguese version

$mail->SetLanguage("br", "/optional/path/to/language/directory/");

That's it.  You should now be ready to use PHPMailer!

A Simple Example:

<?php

require("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();                                      // set mailer to use SMTP

$mail->Host = "smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com";  // specify main and backup server

$mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication

$mail->Username = "jswan";  // SMTP username

$mail->Password = "secret"; // SMTP password

$mail->From = "from@example.com";

$mail->FromName = "Mailer";

$mail->AddAddress("josh@example.net", "Josh Adams");

$mail->AddAddress("ellen@example.com");                  // name is optional

$mail->AddReplyTo("info@example.com", "Information");

$mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 // set word wrap to 50 characters

$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz");         // add attachments

$mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg");    // optional name

$mail->IsHTML(true);                                  // set email format to HTML

$mail->Subject = "Here is the subject";

$mail->Body    = "This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>";

$mail->AltBody = "This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients";

if(!$mail->Send())

{

   echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";

   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;

   exit;

}

echo "Message has been sent";

?>
