To send an email using SMTP in PHP, you can use the PHPMailer library. Here is an example of how you can send an email using SMTP in PHP:
- First, you need to download the PHPMailer library from https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer and include it in your PHP script:
1
|
require 'path/to/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php'; |
- Next, create a new PHPMailer object and set the necessary SMTP settings:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
$mail = new PHPMailer; $mail->isSMTP(); $mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com'; $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->Username = '[email protected]'; $mail->Password = 'yourpassword'; $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; $mail->Port = 465; |
- Set the email parameters such as the sender, recipient, subject, and message:
1 2 3 4 |
$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'Recipient Name');
$mail->Subject = 'Subject of the email';
$mail->Body = 'This is the body of the email';
|
- Finally, send the email:
1 2 3 4 5 |
if($mail->send()) {
echo 'Email has been sent';
} else {
echo 'Email could not be sent. Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
|
That's it! You have successfully sent an email using SMTP in PHP using the PHPMailer library.
