This topic shows how to send email with PHP using the SMTP protocol.

Send email by using PHP via SMTP

Method 1: Use the PHPMailer external dependency. Download the required files from GitHub: PHPMailer.php, Exception.php, and SMTP.php.

In PHPMailer.php, modify the character set setting:

public $CharSet = self::CHARSET_ISO88591;

Change it to:

public $CharSet = self::CHARSET_UTF8;

Sample code

<?php
require 'PHPMailer.php';
require 'Exception.php';
require 'SMTP.php';


$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

try {
    //Server settings
    $mail->CharSet='UTF-8';
    $mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;                      
    $mail->isSMTP();                                            
    $mail->Host       = 'ssl://smtp.mxhichina.com';                     // Corporate email server
    $mail->Port       = 465;                                    // Port
    //$mail->Host       = 'smtp.mxhichina.com';                     
    //$mail->Port       = 25;                                    
    $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                                   // Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username   = 'a***@example.net';                     // Sender address
    $mail->Password   = '**********';                               // SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS;         // Enable encryption
    //Recipients
    $mail->setFrom('a***@example.net', 'Mailer');   // Set the sender address and name
    $mail->addAddress('test1***@example.net','a***@example.net');     // Add a recipient and an optional name
    //$mail->addAddress('test1***@example.net');               // The name is optional
    $mail->addReplyTo('a***@example.net', 'Information');// Set the reply-to address
    $mail->addCC('test2***@example.net');// Add a CC recipient
    $mail->addBCC('test3***@example.net');// Add a BCC recipient

    //Attachments
    //$mail->addAttachment('C:/Users/Documents/test.jpg');         // Add an attachment
    //$mail->addAttachment('C:/Users/Documents/test.jpg', 'new.jpg');    // The attachment name is optional

    //Content
    $mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML
    $mail->Subject = 'Test Subject';
    $mail->Body    = 'Test Body';
    //$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

    $mail->Sender = 'a***@example.net';
    echo 'Message has been sent';
    $mail->send();
    echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
?>

Method 2: Use the email.class.php external dependency.

<?php
require 'email.class.php';

$mailto='recipient@example.com'; // Recipient's email address
$mailsubject="Test Email";
$mailbody='This is the email body.';

$smtpserver     = "smtp.mxhichina.com";
$smtpserverport = 25;
// $smtpserver= "ssl://smtp.mxhichina.com";
// $smtpserverport = 465;
$smtpusermail   = "sender@example.com"; // Sender address

// The sender account, for example, test***@example.net
$smtpuser       = "your_sender_account";
// SMTP password
$smtppass       = "***";

$mailsubject    = "=?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode($mailsubject) . "?=";
$mailtype       = "HTML";

// Optional: Set the reply-to address
$smtpreplyto    = "***";

$smtp           = new smtp($smtpserver, $smtpserverport, true, $smtpuser, $smtppass);
$smtp->debug    = false;
$cc   ="";
$bcc  = "";
$additional_headers = "";
// Set a custom sender name.
$sender  = "Sender Name";
$smtp->sendmail($mailto,$smtpusermail, $mailsubject, $mailbody, $mailtype, $cc, $bcc, $additional_headers, $sender, $smtpreplyto);
?>

This line in email.class.php sets the reply-to address:

$header .= "Reply-To: " . $replyToAddress . "\r\n"; // The $replyToAddress variable is set by the $smtpreplyto parameter.

Note:

  • You must download the email.class.php file.

  • mailto: The recipient's email address.

  • smtpuser: The sender account for authentication.
