Code Examples

Short version

This example shows how to send a text mail using chainability., _(*3)

\CeusMedia\Mail\Transport\SMTP::getInstance("example.com", 587)
    ->setAuth("john@example.com", "my_password")
    ->send(\CeusMedia\Mail\Message::getInstance()
        ->setSender("john@example.com", "John Doe")
        ->addRecipient("mike@example.com", "Mike Foo")
        ->setSubject("This is just a test")
        ->addText("Test Message...")
    );

Long version

use \CeusMedia\Mail\Message;
use \CeusMedia\Mail\Transport\SMTP;

$message    = new Message();
$message->setSender("john@example.com", "John Doe");
$message->addRecipient("mike@example.com", "Mike Foo");
$message->addRecipient("log@example.com", NULL, 'cc');
$message->addRecipient("spy@example.com", NULL, 'bcc' );

$message->setSubject("This is just a test");
$message->addText("Test Message...");
$message->addHTML('



Test Message

');
$message->addInlineImage("logo", "logo.png");
$message->addFile("readme.md");

$transport  = new SMTP("example.com", 587);
$transport->setUsername("john@example.com");
$transport->setPassword("my_password");
$transport->setVerbose(TRUE);
$transport->send( $message );

Future version

Sending a mail should be as easy as possible. This is an outlook how the interface could look like in future., _(*4)

Attention: This is pseudo code. The used classes are not implemented yet., _(*5)

use \CeusMedia\Mail\Client;

Client::getInstance("This is just a test")
    ->from("john@example.com", "John Doe")
    ->to("mike@example.com", "Mike Foo")
    ->bcc("spy@example.com")
    ->text("Test Message...")
    ->auth("my_password")
    ->port(587),
    ->error("handleMailException")
    ->send();

function handleMailException( $e ){
//  ...
}

Thoughts on this example

Sending mail with this short code will be using SMTP, only.
The SMTP server will be determined by fetching MX records of the user's domain.
Setting the SMTP server port is still needed.
Assigned receivers will be checked for existance automatically.
If the auth method is receiving only one parameter, it will be understood as password.
The auth username will be taken from sender address.
Thrown exceptions can be catched by a defined error handler.
If everything is set the mail can be sent.
