To implement email functionality in CakePHP, follow the steps below:

  1. Configure your email settings: In app/config/email.php, configure the default email settings such as hostname, port, username, password, and transport protocol settings like SMTP.
  2. Load Email component: In your controller or AppController, load the Email component using the $components variable.

class AppController extends Controller {
    public $components = array('Session', 'Email');
}


  1. Set email details: Define email details such as to, from, subject, and message body using the set() method to set email content in your controller action.

public function sendEmail() {
    $this->Email->to = 'to@example.com';
    $this->Email->subject = 'Test Email';
    $this->Email->from = 'from@example.com';
    $this->Email->send('Hello, how are you?');
}


  1. Send email: Call the send() method to send the email. The send() method returns true if the email is sent successfully and false otherwise.

    $this->Email->subject = 'Test Email';
    $this->Email->from = 'from@example.com';
    $this->Email->send('Hello, how are you?');

    if ($this->Email->send()) {
        // Email sent successfully
    } else {
        // Email not sent
    }
}


That’s it! You have successfully implemented email functionality in CakePHP.
