PHP sample code: Use the SMTP server of Gmail or Google Apps to send emails online

TIPS:

SMTP and POP3 In Gmail are both SSL-encrypted.

 

Step1. PHP OpenSSL module (Extension) Support

Step2. download phpmailer Library

Step3. change code 'class. phpmailer. php' and 'class. SMTP. php'

Add property is_ssl (VAR $ is_ssl = false;) to phpmailer and SMTP ;)

The smtpconnect method in phpmailer is passed to the SMTP object ($ this-> SMTP-> is_ssl = $ this-> is_ssl ;)

 

The Connect Method in SMTP is added before the fsockopen call.

If ($ this-> is_ssl) {$ host = 'ssl: // '. $ host ;}

 

Write an example to see if OK

 

$ Mail = new phpmailer ();

$ Mail-> issmtp ();

 

$ Mail-> encoding = $ this-> encoding;

 

$ Mail-> host = $ this-> ***; // SMTP servers

$ Mail-> smtpauth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication

 

$ Mail-> username = $ this-> ***; // SMTP Username

$ Mail-> Password = $ this-> ***; // SMTP Password

 

$ Mail-> from = $ this-> ***;

$ Mail-> fromname = $ this-> ***;

$ Mail-> addreplyto ($ this-> ***, $ this-> ***);

 

$ Mail-> charset = $ this-> encoding;

$ Mail-> encoding = "base64 ";

 

$ Mail-> ishtml (true); // send as HTML

$ Mail-> subject = $ this-> subject;

$ Mail-> body = $ this-> body;

 

$ Mail-> altbody = "text/html ";

 

$ Mail-> addaddress ($ to_email );

 

// $ Mail-> smtpdebug = true;

$ Mail-> is_ssl = true;

$ Mail-> Port = 465;

 

// Var_dump ($ mail );

// Exit;

 

$ Mail-> send ();
