This is really useful if you don’t have an email server.
Using your Gmail account for sending emails is great ;)
Steps:
Dowload the latest version of PHPmailer class
Include it in your script
Test with this code:
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
//GMAIL config
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the server
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "gmailusername"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "gmailpassword"; // GMAIL password
//End Gmail
$mail->From = "from@email.com";
$mail->FromName = "you name";
$mail->Subject = "some subject";
$mail->MsgHTML("the message");
//$mail->AddReplyTo("reply@email.com","reply name");//they answer here, optional
$mail->AddAddress("address@to.com","name to");
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
if(!$mail->Send()) {//to see if we return a message or a value bolean
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else echo "Message sent!";
或者
try {
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); //New instance, with exceptions enabled
$body = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body = preg_replace('/\\\\/','', $body); //Strip backslashes
$mail->IsSMTP(); // tell the class to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Port = 25; // set the SMTP server port
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->Username = "name@domain.com"; // SMTP server username
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP server password
$mail->IsSendmail(); // tell the class to use Sendmail
$mail->AddReplyTo("name@domain.com","First Last");
$mail->From = "name@domain.com";
$mail->FromName = "First Last";
$to = "someone@example...com";
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->Subject = "First PHPMailer Message";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->WordWrap = 80; // set word wrap
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Send();
echo 'Message has been sent.';
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage();
}
