Phpmailer is an excellent php third-party email sending function, which supports almost all domestic and foreign email login and sending functions. let's take a look at the example of using PHPMailer plug-in php to implement gmail mail sending, I hope this tutorial will be helpful to you.

PHPMailer is a mail sending class specifically used in php language. it has powerful functions and enriches PHP's single mail () function. Supports SMTP and attachments. PHPMailer complies with LGPL authorization and can be downloaded for free.

Use method (only mail is used, and its function of receiving mail is too popular): The code is as follows:

1. IsSMTP ();
2. $ Mail-> SMTPAuth = true; // authentication is required for smtp
3. $ Mail-> SMTPSecure = 'SSL '; // smtp authentication method
4. $ Mail-> Port = 465; // smtp Port number
5. $ Mail-> Username = "username@gmail.com"; // registered gmail user mailbox (you can use your gmail mailbox)
6. $ Mail-> Password = "password"; // Password
7. $ Mail-> Host = 'smtp .gmail.com '; // The sending server.
8. $ Mail-> IsHTML (true); // whether to enable HTML mail sending. the default value is false,
9. $ Mail-> From = 'username @ gmail.com '; // The sender's email address. use your gmail email address.
10. $ Mail-> FromName = 'mailer'; // your name
11. $ Mail-> Subject = 'mail title'; // mail title
12. $ Mail-> Body = 'Hello World'; // the email content. HTML code is supported.
13. $ Mail-> AddAddress ('name @ anydomain.com ', 'First LA'); // recipient's email address and name
14. If (! $ Mail-> Send ()){
15. Echo $ mail-> ErrorInfo;
16. }

Generally, emails can be sent through the specified smtp server according to the above configuration. However, after my personal test, the above settings can only send emails using 163,126 smtp, such as qq, gmail and so on cannot be sent! After searching for N on google for a long time, I finally found the following method to successfully send emails via gmail. of course, it also includes qq, sina, sohu, etc (Yahoo cannot pass, it seems that Yahoo has not activated smtp by default. you have to activate one of their mail reminders to activate smtp/pop3)

The following is a solution: you only need to find the following code in class. phpmailer. php (the downloaded version may be slightly different). The code is as follows:

1. If (eregi ('^ (. +) :( [0-9] +) $', $ hosts [$ index], $ hostinfo )){
2. $ Host = $ hostinfo [1];
3. $ Port = $ hostinfo [2];
4. } Else {
5. $ Host = $ hosts [$ index];
6. $ Port = $ this-> Port;
7. }

Change to (any version is changed to the following content ):

1. If (eregi ('^ # ([a-z] + ://)? [^:] +) :( D +) # I ', $ hosts [$ index], $ hostinfo )){
2. $ Host = $ hostinfo [1];
3. $ Port = $ hostinfo [3];
4. } Else {
5. $ Host = $ hosts [$ index];
6. $ Port = $ this-> Port;
7. }

After several modifications, I hope you can send emails smoothly through smtp in gmail (of course, you must be able to send emails under win, you have to install smtp in IIS and support OpenSSL extensions in php.) Finally, after testing, the modified smtp can successfully send emails through 126163qqgmailsinasohu.
