Here I comes with a simplified process for sending an email using PHPMailer. I integrated this many of websites developed by me using PHP. I have created my own code using PHPMailer library to send an emails easily.
So first of all I am providing the introduction of PHPMailer as below.
PHPMailer:-
PHPMailer is a library that is used to send emails safely and easily using PHP code from a web server. In a website Sending emails directly via PHP code requires a high-level familiarity to SMTP standard protocol and related issues and vulnerabilities about Email injection for spamming. PHPMailer simplifies the process of sending emails easily.
Process to Integrate:-
Step:- 1 Clone this git repository or download it using below URL.
git clone https://github.com/phpmypassion/phpmailer.gitStep:- 2 Update composer for latest update of library.
composer update
Step:- 3 Include function.php where you want to send mail.
<?php require 'functions.php';
Step:- 4 Now call send_mail() function with param
sendemail($to, $from, $fromname, $subject, $message);
$to :- Email id on that you want to send an email.
$from :- Email id from which you want to send an email.
$fromname :- Your business name.
$subject :- What is all about that mail.
#message :- Your mail content
Your file for sending mail could be look like below:-
I have used below file after filling up contact us form for sending email.
if (isset($_POST['con_submit']) && !empty($_POST['con_submit'])) {
// PREPARE THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE
$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= 'PhpMyPassion.com - Hi admin, you got a new query.';
$message .= '<table rules="all" style="border-color: #666;" cellpadding="10">';
$message .= "<tr style='background: #eee;'><td><strong>Name:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($_POST['con_name']) . "</td></tr>";
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Email:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($_POST['con_email']) . "</td></tr>";
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Phone Number:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($_POST['con_phonenumber']) . "</td></tr>";
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Interested for:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($_POST['con_intrest']) . "</td></tr>";
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Message:</strong> </td><td>" . $_POST['con_message'] . "</td></tr>";
$message .= "</table>";
$message .= "</body></html>";
// MAKE SURE THE "FROM" EMAIL ADDRESS DOESN'T HAVE ANY NASTY STUFF IN IT
$pattern = "/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i";
if (preg_match($pattern, trim(strip_tags($_POST['con_email'])))) {
$cleanedFrom = trim(strip_tags($_POST['con_email']));
} else {
header('Location: thank_you.php?msg=fail');
}
if (empty($_POST['con_name'] || $_POST['con_email'] || $_POST['con_phonenumber'] || $_POST['con_intrest'])) {
header('Location: thank_you.php?msg=empty');
} else {
$to = 'to@gmail.com';
$subject = 'PhpMyPassion.com Contact Us';
$thanksemail = $_POST['con_email'];
$message2 = lead_user_mail_format();
$fromname = 'PhpMyPassion.com';
$from = 'support@gotPhpMyPassion.com.com';
if ($to != '' && $thanksemail != '') {
$res = sendemail1($to, $from, $cc, $fromname, $subject, $message);
$res1 = sendemail($thanksemail, $from, $fromname, $subject, $message2);
if ($res && $res1) {
header('Location: thank_you.php?msg=success');
} else {
header('Location: thank_you.php?msg=fail');
}
} else {
header('Location: thank_you.php?msg=fail');
}
}
}
else {
header('Location: thank_you.php?msg=fail');
}I hope this article simplified the process for sending an emails to any number of users.
