Documentation

After installing techamica/smtpserver-api with composer open your Controller script (for Laravel) and use Smtp\SmtpApiMailer class just under your script namespace.

  use Smtp\SmtpApiMailer;

If you're using Core PHP then you need to include the autoload.php file into your script from the vendor directory. Next, use the Smtp\SmtpApiMailer class.

  require_once getcwd()."/vendor/autoload.php";

  use Smtp\SmtpApiMailer;

Next, create an object of SmtpApiMailer class. This will require you 96-character API KEY.

  $smtp = new SmtpApiMailer('YOUR_API_KEY');

Now set To mail. You can pass only one String(email), or an Array of Strings(emails) in order to send mail to multiple recipients at once.

  $smtp->setTo('test1@test.com')
        ->setTo([
          'test2@test.com',
          'test3@test.com'
        ]);

But, if you want to add recipients' names, you must pass an Array of email ids and names. Some of the names can be empty String, if you want.

  $smtp->setTo([
    'test3@test.com' => 'Good Recipient 1',
    'test4@test.com' => 'Good Recipient 2',
    'test5@test.com'
  ]);

To mail is mandatory in order to send mail.

Next, set From mail. Simply pass from mail id and name into the method. name is optional.

  $smtp->setFrom('info@test.com', 'Good Sender');

From mail is mandatory in order to send mail.

Next, set Subject of the mail. This is an optional step.

  $smtp->setSubject('Test subject for a test mail');

Next, set Custom Headers. This is also an optional step.

  $smtp->setHeader([
    'Custom-Header-1' => '<https://www.google.com>',
    'Custom-Header-2' => '<https://www.google.com?source=email-client-unsubscribe-button>',
    'Custom-Header-3' => 'ABCD-17G5-098H-F5TS-0865'
  ]);

Set Attachments, if there's any. You can attach just one file by passing its path as a String or you can pass multiple file paths in an Array. But remember to put absolute path to the files and the total size of attachments should not exceed 25MB. This is an optionalstep.

  $smtp->addFile('ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO/web.zip')
        ->addFile([
          "ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO/photo_2019-02-08_00-01-11.jpg",
          "ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO/mongodb_ the definitive guide - kristina chodorow_1401.pdf"
        ]);

Set timeout for mail sending. Default timeout is 20sec. Depending on the attachment size & internet connection this can be set to some other value. To set a new timeout, pass the value in seconds.

  $smtp->setTimeout(30);

Set HTML & Text. Either of these two is mandatory. It's a good practice to put both.

  $smtp->->setText('This is a test mail only');
  $smtp->setHtml('<p>This is a test mail only</p>');

Finally, send mail. This method either returns an Array or throws Error for any setup-related issue. So make sure to use a try-catch block enclosing this method.

  try {
    $response = $smtp->sendMail();
    print_r($response);
  } catch(\Exception $e) {
    -- YOUR CODE --
  }

Output Array consists of three keys: code, header & body. code is response code, header is response header-list & body consists of response-body in JSON format. body looks like:

  { success: 1, message: 'Mail accepted' }

If there's error while sending mail, the body looks like:

  { success: 0, message: 'SOME ERROR MESSAGE' }
