As of November 2007, PHPMailer has a new project team headed by industry
|
8
|
veteran Andy Prevost (codeworxtech). The first release in more than two
|
9
|
years will focus on fixes, adding ease-of-use enhancements, provide
|
10
|
basic compatibility with PHP4 and PHP5 using PHP5 backwards compatibility
|
11
|
features. A new release is planned before year-end 2007 that will provide
|
12
|
full compatiblity with PHP4 and PHP5, as well as more bug fixes.
|
13
|
|
14
|
We are looking for project developers to assist in restoring PHPMailer to
|
15
|
its leadership position. Our goals are to simplify use of PHPMailer, provide
|
16
|
good documentation and examples, and retain backward compatibility to level
|
17
|
1.7.3 standards.

Why you might need it:
|
40
|
|
41
|
Many PHP developers utilize email in their code. The only PHP function
|
42
|
that supports this is the mail() function. However, it does not expose
|
43
|
any of the popular features that many email clients use nowadays like
|
44
|
HTML-based emails and attachments. There are two proprietary
|
45
|
development tools out there that have all the functionality built into
|
46
|
easy to use classes: AspEmail(tm) and AspMail. Both of these
|
47
|
programs are COM components only available on Windows. They are also a
|
48
|
little pricey for smaller projects.
|
49
|
|
50
|
Since I do Linux development I?ve missed these tools for my PHP coding.
|
51
|
So I built a version myself that implements the same methods (object
|
52
|
calls) that the Windows-based components do. It is open source and the
|
53
|
LGPL license allows you to place the class in your proprietary PHP
|
54
|
projects.
|
55
|
|
56
|
|
57
|
Installation:
|
58
|
|
59
|
Copy class.phpmailer.php into your php.ini include_path. If you are
|
60
|
using the SMTP mailer then place class.smtp.php in your path as well.
|
61
|
In the language directory you will find several files like
|
62
|
phpmailer.lang-en.php. If you look right before the .php extension
|
63
|
that there are two letters. These represent the language type of the
|
64
|
translation file. For instance "en" is the English file and "br" is
|
65
|
the Portuguese file. Chose the file that best fits with your language
|
66
|
and place it in the PHP include path. If your language is English
|
67
|
then you have nothing more to do. If it is a different language then
|
68
|
you must point PHPMailer to the correct translation. To do this, call
|
69
|
the PHPMailer SetLanguage method like so:
|
70
|
|
71
|
// To load the Portuguese version
|
72
|
$mail->SetLanguage("br", "/optional/path/to/language/directory/");
|
73
|
|
74
|
That's it. You should now be ready to use PHPMailer!

A Simple Example:
|

|
|
79
|
<?php
|
80
|
require("class.phpmailer.php");
|
81
|
|
82
|
$mail = new PHPMailer();
|
83
|
|
84
|
$mail->IsSMTP(); // set mailer to use SMTP
|
85
|
$mail->Host = "smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com"; // specify main and backup server
|
86
|
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
|
87
|
$mail->Username = "jswan"; // SMTP username
|
88
|
$mail->Password = "secret"; // SMTP password
|
89
|
|
90
|
$mail->From = "from@example.com";
|
91
|
$mail->FromName = "Mailer";
|
92
|
$mail->AddAddress("josh@example.net", "Josh Adams");
|
93
|
$mail->AddAddress("ellen@example.com"); // name is optional
|
94
|
$mail->AddReplyTo("info@example.com", "Information");
|
95
|
|
96
|
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap to 50 characters
|
97
|
$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz"); // add attachments
|
98
|
$mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg"); // optional name
|
99
|
$mail->IsHTML(true); // set email format to HTML
|
100
|
|
101
|
$mail->Subject = "Here is the subject";
|
102
|
$mail->Body = "This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>";
|
103
|
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients";
|
104
|
|
105
|
if(!$mail->Send())
|
106
|
{
|
107
|
echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
|
108
|
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
|
109
|
exit;
|
110

}
