Method 'mail' not found in SendGrid\Client

[TeodorVecerdi]

Issue Summary

While attempting to run the mail example (The one with the Mail Helper class) I encountered a error.
I have tried both the Composer and the direct library and the same problem occurs.
On this line $response = $sg->client->mail()->send()->post($mail); on mail() I get Method 'mail' not found in SendGrid\Client.
After that everything falls apart

Steps to Reproduce

Not needed.

Technical details:

• sendgrid-php Version: 6.0 (latest)
• PHP Version: 7.1.9

Hi @TeodorVecerdi,

My apologies, I can not reproduce. Here are the steps I took:

mkdir test
cd ./test
code composer.json

composer.json

{
    "require": {
      "sendgrid/sendgrid": "~6.0"
    }
 }

code test.php

code.php

<?php
// If you are using Composer (recommended)
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// If you are not using Composer
// require("path/to/sendgrid-php/sendgrid-php.php");

$from = new SendGrid\Email("DX Team", "dx@sendgrid.com");
$subject = "Sending with SendGrid is Fun";
$to = new SendGrid\Email("Elmer Thomas", "elmer.thomas@sendgrid.com");
$content = new SendGrid\Content("text/plain", "and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP");
$mail = new SendGrid\Mail($from, $subject, $to, $content);

$apiKey = getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY');
$sg = new \SendGrid($apiKey);

$response = $sg->client->mail()->send()->post($mail);
echo $response->statusCode();
print_r($response->headers());
echo $response->body();

php test.php

The email was sent successfully.

Could you please walk me through your install steps?

Thanks!

With Best Regards,

Elmer

Thanks for the quick reply, @thinkingserious !
Here are the steps I followed:
sendemail.php and composer.json are the same as your files.
then I did

composer install

and then php sendemail.php
and this is what I got:

J:\Development\GitHub\PHP\test>php sendemail.php
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function SendGrid\curl_init() in J:\Development\GitHub\PHP\test\vendor\sendgrid\php-http-client\lib\Client.php:142

Hi @TeodorVecerdi.

It looks like you may have run into this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34842596/call-to-undefined-function-curl-init-even-it-is-enabled-in-php7

[TeodorVecerdi]

@thinkingserious I have installed curl and added it to the path. I don't understand what I should do.

[thinkingserious]

@TeodorVecerdi,

Now that you have done that, what happens when you do composer install?

[TeodorVecerdi]

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Package operations: 2 installs, 0 updates, 0 removals
Installing sendgrid/php-http-client (3.7.0): Loading from cache
Installing sendgrid/sendgrid (6.0.0): Loading from cache
Writing lock file
Generating autoload files

[thinkingserious]

Ok, that looks good. How about when you run php sendemail.php?

[TeodorVecerdi]

The same error

For some reason your install of php7 is not finding curl_init().

Can you try stepping through these steps?

Here are some other potential solutions:

• https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/curl-is-not-installed-in-my-php7-installation
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37716636/i-have-curl-installed-on-ubuntu-16-with-php-7-but-i-get-still-call-to-undefined

BTW, what OS are you on?
Also, did you enable curl in your php.ini?

[TeodorVecerdi]

I'm on windows, this is my first time doing this. Curl was disabled in php.ini indeed. Thank you for the help @thinkingserious

[thinkingserious]

Awesome, thanks for following up :)
