This topic describes how to construct PHP functions and call the functions to send emails over SMTP.
Construct and call PHP functions to send emails over SMTP
Method 1: Use the external dependency phpmailer.
Download the following files from GitHub: PHPMailer.php, Exception.php, and SMTP.php.
If it is in another language, please modify the following parameter in the PHPMailer.php file to change the encoding format(Take Chinese as an example):
public $CharSet = self::CHARSET_ISO88591; The preceding encoding format is changed to the following encoding format:
public $CharSet = self::CHARSET_UTF8;Sample code for sending emails:
<?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://smtpdm.aliyun.com'; // The server of Direct Mail.
$mail->Port = 465; // The port number.
//$mail->Host = 'smtpdm.aliyun.com';
//$mail->Port = 80;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Grant permissions.
$mail->Username = 'Sender@demo.aliyun.com'; // The sender address.
$mail->Password = '*******'; //The SMTP password.
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS; // Enable encryption.
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('Sender@demo.aliyun.com', 'Mailer'); // The display sender address. You can also configure a proxy sender.
$mail->addAddress('Address@demo.aliyun.com', 'name'); // The email address and nickname of the recipient.
//$mail->addAddress('Address@demo.aliyun.com'); // The nickname is optional.
//$mail->addAddress('Address2@demo.aliyun.com', 'name2');// Add the $mail->addAddress field to add a recipient.
$mail->addReplyTo('Address@demo.aliyun.com', 'Information');// The reply-to address.
$mail->addCC('Address@demo.aliyun.com');// The address in the CC field.
$mail->addBCC('Address@demo.aliyun.com');// The address in the BCC field.
//Attachments
//$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); // The HTML format.
$mail->Subject = 'Test title';
$mail->Body = 'Test content';
//$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
$mail->Sender = 'Sender@demo.aliyun.com';
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
?>Method 2: Use the external dependency email.class.php
<?php
require 'email.class.php';
$mailto='Recipient address';
$mailsubject="Test email";
$mailbody='Email content ';
$smtpserver = "smtpdm.aliyun.com";
$smtpserverport = 80;
// $smtpserver= "ssl://smtpdm.aliyun.com";
// $smtpserverport = 465;
$smtpusermail = "Sender address";
// The account of the sender. Enter the sender address that you specified in the console. Example: xxx@xxx.com.
$smtpuser = "Sender account";
// The password that is used to access SMTP. You can select the sender address in the console to specify the password.
$smtppass = "***";
$mailsubject = "=?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode($mailsubject) . "?=";
$mailtype = "HTML";
// Optional. The reply-to address.
$smtpreplyto = "***";
$smtp = new smtp($smtpserver, $smtpserverport, true, $smtpuser, $smtppass);
$smtp->debug = false;
$cc ="";
$bcc = "";
$additional_headers = "";
// The name of the sender. You can specify a name as needed.
$sender = "Sender";
$smtp->sendmail($mailto,$smtpusermail, $mailsubject, $mailbody, $mailtype, $cc, $bcc, $additional_headers, $sender, $smtpreplyto);
?>You must modify the settings in the email.class.php dependency based on your business requirements.
$header .="Reply-To: ".$replyToAddress."\r\n";// $replyToAddress is equivalent to $smtpreplyto.
Notes:
email.class.php is an external dependency that can be downloaded over the Internet.
mailto specifies the email address of the recipient.
smtpuser specifies the complete sender address.
