Detailed introduction and use of Phpmailer

First, you need to download the Phpmailer file package Phpmailer. http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/
Second, confirm that your server system already supports socket, through phpinfo (), check whether sockets is supported (socket is part of PHP extension), if it appears as "enabled", it is supported.
Third, unzip the file into your Web server directory and call the class.
First contains the class.phpmailer.php, then creates the object, sets the parameters, and invokes the member function.

Example 1, making a function convenient to call

<?php require ("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");            function Smtp_mail ($sendto _email, $subject, $body, $extra _hdrs, $user _name) {$mail = new Phpmailer ();                  $mail->issmtp ();   Send via SMTP $mail->host = "200.162.244.66";           SMTP servers $mail->smtpauth = true;     Turn on SMTP authentication $mail->username = "Yourmail"; SMTP username Note: Normal mail authentication does not need to add @ domain name $mail->password = "MailPassword";      SMTP password $mail->from = "[email protected]";  Sender mailbox $mail->fromname = "Administrator";   Sender $mail->charset = "GB2312";            Specify the character set here!            $mail->encoding = "base64";  $mail->addaddress ($sendto _email, "username");            Recipient's mailbox and name $mail->addreplyto ("[email protected]", "yourdomain.com"); $mail->wordwrap = 50; Set word wrap word wrapping//$mail->addattachment ("/var/Tmp/file.tar.gz ");            Attachment Accessories//$mail->addattachment ("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg");  $mail->ishtml (TRUE);            Send As HTML//message subject $mail->subject = $subject; Message content $mail->body = "
　　
Attention:

1. The character set of the message, $mail->charset = "GB2312"; Specify the character set here! Here I only specify as GB2312 because so Outlook can display the subject of the message normally, I tried to set it to utf-8 but the garbled characters appear under Outlook.
2. If you are sending an HTML-formatted message, remember to also specify
3. If you want to use it for mass mailing, remember to modify the include file functions, such as:
Require ("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");
Switch
Require_once ("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");
Otherwise, a redefinition of the class is generated.
Personally think to use Phpmailer, first, need to have a mail server, PHP mail function is not specified, should be using the PHP settings of SMTP.

In this case, you need to specify the manager and password of the mail server.

Phpmailer is also a powerful mail-enabled class

The above information from Jiucool translation from the Phpmailer official website, reproduced please specify!

The use of Phpmailer (here to use Gmail SMTP to send mail as an example, but also support SendMail pop and other ways):
First download the latest version of the package to http://phpmailer.worxware.com/
After the download is complete, find the class.phpmailer.php, class.smtp.php two classes put in your own directory!
Then create a new PHP file named here: phpmail_jiucool.php
phpmail_jiucool.php content is as follows:
I directly write the e-mail module as a function postmail_jiucool_com (), you can call the function directly when you use, the function content is:
 function postmail_jiucool_com ($to, $subject = "", $body = "") {//author:jiucool website:http://www.jb51.net//$to represents the recipient address $subject indicates that the message header $body represents the message body//error_reporting (E_all); Error_reporting (e_strict); Date_default_timezone_set ("Asia/shanghai");//Set time zone East eight zone require_once (' class.phpmailer.php '); Include ("class.smtp.php"); $mail = new Phpmailer (); New A Phpmailer object comes out $body = eregi_replace ("[\]" "," ', $body); The content of the message is necessary to filter $mail->charset = "UTF-8";//Set the message encoding, the default iso-8859-1, if the text must be set in Chinese, otherwise garbled $mail->issmtp (); Set $mail->smtpdebug = 1 using the SMTP service; Enable the SMTP debugging feature//1 = errors and messages//2 = messages only $mail->smtpauth = true; Enable the SMTP authentication feature $mail->smtpsecure = "SSL"; Security protocol $mail->host = "smtp.googlemail.com"; SMTP server $mail->port = 465; The port number of the SMTP server $mail->username = "SMTP Server user name"; SMTP Server user name $mail->password = "SMTP server password"; SMTP server password $mail->setfrom (' sender address, such as admin#jiucool.com #换成 @ ', ' sender name '); $mail->addreplyto ("Mail reply address, such as admin#jiucool.com #换成 @", "Mail reply person's name"); $mail->subject = $subject; $mail->altbody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer! -From www.jiucool.com "; Optional, comment out and test $mail->msghtml ($body); $address = $to; $mail->addaddress ($address, "Recipient name"); $mail->addattachment ("Images/phpmailer.gif"); Attachment//$mail->addattachment ("Images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); Attachment if (! $mail->send ()) {echo "Mailer Error:". $mail->errorinfo; } else {echo "message sent! Congratulations, the Mail was sent successfully!  "; } }
