I received a tutorial requests from my reader that asked to me how to send mails to web project users. This post explains you how to send mail using SMTP credentials. I had implemented this mail notification system at labs.9lessons.info using SMTP and SASL classes. It’s simple just few lines of configuration changes.
Download Script 
Live Demoindex.php
Contains PHP code. You have to modify email, name and message
$to="[email protected]";
$fn="Fisrt Name";
$ln="Last Name";
$name=$fn.' '.$ln;
$from="[email protected]";
$subject = "Welcome to Website";
$message = "Dear $name,
Your Welcome Message.
Thanks
www.website.com
";
include('smtpwork.php');
$fn="Fisrt Name";
$ln="Last Name";
$name=$fn.' '.$ln;
$from="[email protected]";
$subject = "Welcome to Website";
$message = "Dear $name,
Your Welcome Message.
Thanks
www.website.com
";
include('smtpwork.php');
smtpwork.php
SMTP configuration file you have to modify host, port and credentials.
<?php
require("smtp.php");
require("sasl.php"); //SASL authentication
$from="[email protected]";
$smtp=new smtp_class;
$smtp->host_name="www.website.com"; // Or IP address
$smtp->host_port=25;
$smtp->ssl=0;
$smtp->start_tls=0;
$smtp->localhost="localhost";
$smtp->direct_delivery=0;
$smtp->timeout=10;
$smtp->data_timeout=0;
$smtp->debug=1;
$smtp->html_debug=1;
$smtp->pop3_auth_host="";
$smtp->user="[email protected]"; // SMTP Username
$smtp->realm="";
$smtp->password="password"; // SMTP Password
$smtp->workstation="";
$smtp->authentication_mechanism="";
if($smtp->SendMessage(
$from,
array(
$to
),
array(
"From: $from",
"To: $to",
"Subject: $subject",
"Date: ".strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z")
),
"$message"))
{
echo "Message sent to $to OK.";
}
else
echo "Cound not seend the message to $to.\nError: ".$smtp->error;
?>
require("smtp.php");
require("sasl.php"); //SASL authentication
$from="[email protected]";
$smtp=new smtp_class;
$smtp->host_name="www.website.com"; // Or IP address
$smtp->host_port=25;
$smtp->ssl=0;
$smtp->start_tls=0;
$smtp->localhost="localhost";
$smtp->direct_delivery=0;

Hi ,
ReplyDeleteI see everyone is asking about sending HTML mails using above class. The solution is you need to modify the headers. Like:
"MIME-Version: 1.0",
"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1",
"From: $from",
"To: $to",
"Subject: $subject",
"Date: ".strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z")
Thanks...
good one :)
