First Install Pear, Mail, Mail Mime, Net SMTP. Restart Apache:
sudo apt-get install php-pear sudo pear install mail sudo pear install mail_mime sudo pear install Net_SMTP sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart |
Here is the PHP code I used to send an email:
try { require_once "Mail.php"; $from = "[email protected]"; $to = "{$email}"; $subject = "Hi!"; $body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?"; $host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com"; $port = "465"; $username = "[email protected]"; //This can also be a Google Apps account $password = "PASSWORD"; $headers = array ('From' => $from, 'To' => $to, 'Subject' => $subject); $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array ('host' => $host, 'port' => $port, 'auth' => true, 'username' => $username, 'password' => $password)); $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body); if (PEAR::isError($mail)) { echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>"); } else { echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>"); } } catch (Exception $e) { echo 'Caught exception: ', $e->getMessage(), "\n"; } |
