<p>The example file "test_mail.php" contents include:</p> |
|
<div style="width: 600px; background-color: #CCCCCC;"> |
|
<code> |
|
<?php<br> |
|
<br> |
|
include_once('../class.phpmailer.php');<br> |
|
<br> |
|
$mail = new PHPMailer();<br> |
|
<br> |
|
$body = $mail->getFile('contents.html');<br> |
|
<br> |
|
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);<br> |
|
$subject = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$subject);<br> |
|
<br> |
|
$mail->From = "name@yourdomain.com";<br> |
|
$mail->FromName = "First Last";<br> |
|
<br> |
|
$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject";<br> |
|
<br> |
|
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test<br> |
|
<br> |
|
$mail->MsgHTML($body);<br> |
|
<br> |
|
$mail->AddAddress("whoto@otherdomain.com", "John Doe");<br> |
|
<br> |
|
if(!$mail->Send()) {<br> |
|
echo 'Failed to send mail';<br> |
|
} else {<br> |
|
echo 'Mail sent';<br> |
|
}<br> |
|
<br> |
|
?> |
|
</code> |
|
</div> |

Although you could use full compabitility with PHPMailer 1.7.3, this example |
|
shows how to use the new features. If you view 'contents.html', you will note |
|
that there is a background image used in the <body tag as well as an image used |
|
with a regular <img tag. Here's what the HTML file looks like:<br> |
|
<br> |
|
<div style="width: 600px; background-color: #CCCCCC;"> |
|
<code> |
|
<body background="images/bkgrnd.gif" style="margin: 0px;"><br> |
|
<div style="width: 640px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"><br> |
|
<div align="center"><img src="images/phpmailer.gif" style="height: 90px; width: 340px"></div><br><br> |
|
<br><br> |
|
This is a test of PHPMailer v2.0.0 rc1.<br><br> |
|
<br><br> |
|
This particular example uses <strong>HTML</strong>, with a <div> tag and inline<br><br> |
|
styles.<br><br> |
|
<br><br> |
|
Also note the use of the PHPMailer at the top with no specific code to handle<br> |
|
including it in the body of the email.</div><br> |
|
</body><br> |
|
</code> |
|
</div> |
|
<br> |
|
A few things to notice in the PHP script that generates the email: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>the use of $mail->AltBody is completely optional. If not used, PHPMailer |
|
will use the HTML text with htmlentities().</li> |
|
<li>the background= and <img src= images were processed without any directives |
|
or methods from the PHP script</li> |
|
<li>there is no specific code to define the image type ... that is handled |
|
automatically by PHPMailer when it parses the images</li> |
|
<li>we are using a new class method '$mail->MsgHTML($body)' ... that is what will handle the parsing of the images and creating the AltBody text</li> |
|
</ul> |
|
<p>Of course, you can still use PHPMailer the same way you have in the past. |
|
That provides full compatibility with all existing scripts, while new scripts |
|
can take advantage of the new features.</p> |
|
<p>Modify test_mail.php now with your own email address and try it out.</p> |
