- And more features
- Send a normal email
use mailBox\mailBox;
// Create an instance of mailBox with SMTP server details.
$mailer = new mailBox('smtp.example.com', 587, 'STARTTLS');
// Set SMTP authentication credentials.
$mailer->auth('your_username', 'your_password');
// Set sender information.
$mailer->setFrom('your_email@example.com', 'Your Name');
// Set recipient email.
$mailer->to('recipient@example.com');
// Set email subject and message.
$mailer->subject('Hello, World!');
$mailer->message('This is a test email sent using mailBox class.');
// Optionally, enable HTML email if needed.
// $mailer->isHTML();
// Send the email.
if ($mailer->send()) {
echo "Email sent successfully.";
} else {
echo "Email sending failed.";
}
// Optionally, you can retrieve the logs for debugging purposes.
// $logs = $mailer->getLogs();
- If you want to use PHP's own built-in functions to send your email, you can use this method
use mailBox\mailBox;
// Create an instance of mailBox with SMTP server details.
$mailer = new mailBox('your_smtp_host', 25, 'tls', 'your_username', 'your_password');
// Set sender information.
$mailer->setFrom('your_email@example.com', 'Your Name');
// Set recipient email.
$mailer->to('recipient@example.com');
// Set email subject and message.
$mailer->subject('Hello, World!');
$mailer->message('<p>This is a test email sent using mailBox class.</p>');
// Enable HTML mode
$mailer->isHTML();
// Send the email.
$result = $mailer->sendRAW();
if ($result) {
echo "Email sent successfully using default mail() function.";
} else {
echo "Email could not be sent using default mail() function.";
}
