Send Mail using SMTP and PHP.

Thanks. Very useful.

Nice coding...

a piece of great code, thanks.

by the way, is there method to default the coding of the email as unicode(UTF8)?

how can i add cc: ???

does this work for gmail smtp servers?

You need to use unsecure mail servers that use port 25. Check your IP for details (if you have an email account with them, look under SMTP configuration for Outlook, Thunderbird, etc)

does it work for aol smtp server?

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_HOST in C:\wamp\www\1010\SMTPclass.php on line 30

Thanks,
I really search for this script form last 1 week & i fount this script work fine for me.
Thanks again.

Thank you very much for this useful class, how can we use it to send HTML emails?


@gustavo

It's possible to add cc.

1- You need to change first you index.php:

You've got to add a new field called cc in your form. Then recover it to $cc from POST Array (within the other variables as $from, $to ...). Finally, you must add $cc between $to and $subject in the SMTPClient function call.

2- Then you go to change SMTPClass.php:

You must add $cc to SMTPClient function definition the same way you did in the function call. THen add a new variable called $this->cc where you put the actual $cc.

Duplicate the RCPT TO command using your new variable $this->cc and get the response in the $talk[...] array:

fputs ($SMTPIN, "RCPT TO: <".$this->cc.">\r\n");
$talk["Cc"] = fgets ($SMTPIN, 1024);

Finally, put your variable on the mail header, by adding the following line right after its "To:" similar line under DATA command:
Cc: <".$this->cc.">\r\n

The final DATA command is:

fputs($SMTPIN, "DATA\r\n");
$talk["data"]=fgets( $SMTPIN,1024 );
fputs($SMTPIN, "To: <".$this->to.">\r\nCc: <".$this->cc.">\r\nFrom: <".$this->from.">\r\nSubject:".$this->subject."\r\n\r\n\r\n".$this->body."\r\n.\r\n");
$talk["send"]=fgets($SMTPIN,256);

That's it! You can do it the same way with BCc too...

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/cutrin.lt/httpdocs/evelita/mailtest/SMTPClass.php on line 30

SMTPClass.php is not SMTPclass.php
Your script and include files names do not match,

please help me to include headers

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"'."\r\n";

Thanks so much.

Nice post..

You can set header by this:

fputs($SMTPIN, "To: <".$this->to.">\r\nFrom: <".$this->from.">\r\nSubject:".$this->subject."\r\n".$this->headers."\r\n\r\n".$this->body."\r\n.\r\n");

And pass the header in constructor as an argument and than set that like:
$this->headers = $headers;

And that's all !!!

how can I send email to more than one person on one textbox ?

Thanks Srinivas for this nice post. I reformatted your SMTPClient class and added a header variable so one has the option to send HTML emails.


SmtpServer = $SmtpServer;
$this->SmtpUser = base64_encode ($SmtpUser);
$this->SmtpPass = base64_encode ($SmtpPass);
$this->from = $from;
$this->to = $to;
$this->subject = $subject;
$this->body = $body;
$this->newLine = "\r\n";

if ($SmtpPort == "") {
$this->PortSMTP = 25;
} else {
$this->PortSMTP = $SmtpPort;
}
}

function SendMail (){
if ($SMTPIN = fsockopen ($this->SmtpServer, $this->PortSMTP)) {
fputs ($SMTPIN, "EHLO ".$HTTP_HOST."\r\n");
$talk["hello"] = fgets ( $SMTPIN, 1024 );

fputs($SMTPIN, "auth login\r\n");
$talk["res"]=fgets($SMTPIN,1024);

fputs($SMTPIN, $this->SmtpUser."\r\n");
$talk["user"]=fgets($SMTPIN,1024);

fputs($SMTPIN, $this->SmtpPass."\r\n");
$talk["pass"]=fgets($SMTPIN,256);

fputs ($SMTPIN, "MAIL FROM: <".$this->from.">\r\n");
$talk["From"] = fgets ( $SMTPIN, 1024 );

$talk["To"] = fgets ($SMTPIN, 1024);

fputs ($SMTPIN, "RCPT TO: \r\n");
$talk["Bcc"] = fgets ($SMTPIN, 1024);

fputs($SMTPIN, "DATA\r\n");
$talk["data"]=fgets( $SMTPIN,1024 );

Anyone know a way to make this code work with Gmail? Dont you just need to allow SSL somehow and use port 465 or 587?

Mails are going to Spam box. can you help me resolve it.

I am getting this error please help me to solve


Undefined variable: HTTP_HOST in C:\wamp\www\smtp\SMTPclass.php on line 39

Does this have any special server-end requirements to run? My host (DreamHost) is saying that SMTP like this requires PEAR and the fact that I can't get it to work seems to back that up. Not getting any errors like some users above, just no emails coming thru. Any thoughts?

heh.. I had this working last weekend.. I think my CPanel server either upgraded exim or something because this script is now sending out emails but when it hits the exim server im getting errors:
2011-09-10 08:17:13 H=area (localhost) [127.0.0.1] rejected MAIL notifications@email.tld: Authentication failed

Thoughts on that? I know its not the php issue, or is it? Running 5.3.8 of PHP

thnx for this class ,
but how can i get a confirmation message
if mail fails to b delivered then how can i get to know about that ??

But how to set server inside config file to send Email to yahoo ?

Nice job,

this code worked beautifully for me to connect to godaddys smtp

I have tried this and its working properly. Is it possible to add attachment when sending an email using smtp? Thanks. :)

nice script. but can u plz help me out on the attachment issue?

to solve problem of "Undefined variable: HTTP_HOST"
replace it with "getenv('MyHost')", it worked well with me...


and i am reallly grateful for this post..thank you soooo much (^_^)

regarding the SMTPconfig.php... ca we put mail.domain.com at $SmtpServer? something like this:


any help?

The Bcc or Cc seem to work however the received email also shows who the Bcc/Cc is. For Bcc this is a problem b/c it's not BLIND. The following is what my hosting company said about this:

"It looks as your script is adding the BCC header of the message. at the wrong place. We would recommend that you check the configuration of the script that you are using to send the message. "

Thanks a lot. You are the man!

the line

$talk["hello"] = fgets ( $SMTPIN, 1024 );

Would be better as

$talk["hello"] = stream_get_line( $SMTPIN, 1024 );

as the server can return a multi line greeting which can still be returned in many of the following fget commands rather than getting what you would expect.
