2012-02-08T16:24:42.292+05:30

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.

Thanks a lot. You are the man!

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. "

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

2011-09-10T06:25:39.894+05:30

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?

2011-07-24T00:27:35.682+05:30

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 );

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

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

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

//Construct Headers
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $this->newLine;
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . $this->newLine;
$headers .= "From: <".$this->from.">". $this->newLine;
$headers .= "To: <".$this->to.">". $this->newLine;
$headers .= "Bcc: newLine;
$headers .= "Subject: ".$this->subject. $this->newLine;

fputs($SMTPIN, $headers."\r\n\r\n".$this->body."\r\n.\r\n");

$talk["send"]=fgets($SMTPIN,256);
//CLOSE CONNECTION AND EXIT ...
fputs ($SMTPIN, "QUIT\r\n");
fclose($SMTPIN);
//
}
return $talk;
}
}

2011-07-02T16:11:21.260+05:30

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 !!!
