SMTP for LaravelPHP

This package is a new SMTP class built from scratch. Many of the existing email libraries are old, bloated, not on GitHub, and worst of all written in camelcase. I wanted something short and simple.

Install

In application/bundles.php add:

'smtp' => array('auto' => true),

Copy the sample config file to application/config/smtp.php and input the proper information.

Usage

A normal email would go like this:

$mail = new SMTP();
$mail->to('tim@gmail.com');
$mail->from('paul@gmail.com', 'Paul T.');
$mail->subject('Hello World');
$mail->body('This is a <b>HTML</b> email.');
$result = $mail->send();

You can add multiple recipients, name is optional:

// add to
$mail->to('matthew@gmail.com');
$mail->to('mark@gmail.com');

// add cc
$mail->cc('luke@gmail.com');
$mail->cc('john@gmail.com');

// add bcc
$mail->bcc('james@gmail.com');
$mail->bcc('peter@gmail.com');

You can add recipients en masse:

// build list
$list = array();
$list[] = 'matthew@gmail.com';
$list[] = 'mark@gmail.com';

// add to
$mail->to($list);

// build list w/ names
$list = array();
$list[] = array('matthew@gmail.com', 'Matthew');
$list[] = array('mark@gmail.com', 'Mark');

// add to
$mail->to($list);

You can set a custom reply-to address:

$mail->reply('paul@gmail.com', 'Paul T.');

You can pass arrays to set from and reply-to addresses:

// set from
$from = array('paul@gmail.com', 'Paul T.');

// add from
$mail->from($from);

// add reply-to
$mail->reply($from);

You can add attachments:

$mail->attach('/path/to/file1.png');
$mail->attach('/path/to/file2.png');

You can assign a text version of your email:

$mail->text('This is a text email.');

You can send text-only emails:

$result = $mail->send_text();

Debug Mode

In the config you can flag 'debug_mode' = true;, which can be helpful in testing your SMTP connections. It will echo server responses from each step in the email sending process.

Limitations

Below are some current limitations. Please feel free to contribute to this ongoing project.

• Does not support encryption.
• Does not support priority level.
• Does not keep connection open for spooling email sends.
