Helpers\PHPMailer

PHPMailer is a third party class for sending emails, Full docs are available athttps://github.com/Synchro/PHPMailer

Make an alias:

use Helpers\PhpMailer\Mail;

To use PHPMailer create a new instance of it:

$mail = new Mail();

Once an instance has been created all the properties are available to you, a typical example:

$mail = new Mail(); $mail->setFrom('noreply@domain.com'); $mail->addAddress('user@domain.com'); $mail->subject('Important Email'); $mail->body("<h1>Hey</h1><p>I like this <b>Bold</b> Text!</p>"); $mail->send();

To use gmail use at your own risk!! You must enable an option in order to allow to send email through gmail goto https://myaccount.google.com/security#connectedapps login and enable Allow access to less secure apps.

The class has the ability to send via SMTP in order to do so edit Helpers/PhpMailer/Mail.php and enter your SMTP settings you can also set a default email from address so you don't have to supply it each time:

public $From = 'noreply@domain.com'; public $FromName = SITETITLE; public $Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; public $Mailer = 'smtp'; public $SMTPAuth = true; public $Username = 'email@domain.com'; public $Password = 'password'; public $SMTPSecure = 'tls'; public $WordWrap = 75;

You don't need to specify a plain text version of the email to be sent out, this is done automatically from the supplied body.
