Time to blog.
I have to implement a small web application which contains email system function. This is an example how to send an email with PHP and Gmail.
require_once 'Mail.php'; $from = "Forename Surname <example@googlemail.com>" //sender email; $mailTo = "example@gmail.com"; //destination $subject = "Send this mail from PHP!"; //email subject $body = "Hello,\n\n How are you?"; //email body $host = "smtp.gmail.com"; //Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server $port = "587"; //Set port $username = "example@gmail.com"; //sender account $password = "password"; //sender password $headers = array ('From' => $from, 'To' => $mailTo, 'Subject' => $subject); $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array ('host' => $host, 'port' => $port, 'auth' => true, 'username' => $username, 'password' => $password)); $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body); //call send method
