Php Send Mail Through Smtp

[haitamlong 0]

Can anyone here tell me how to send mail through SMTP server with php I have search in many source code on web and cant find anything

What you are probably really wanting to use is the mail() function which is used pretty widely with PHP.

 

I personally use this function on my local PC which is connectted persistently through a DSL connection (256k download and 126 upload tested) my test scripts run as long as they are coded properly and so I test them to my own e-mail address to check for errors or to make improvements to them.

 

If you are simply wanting to use PHP to send e-mail then just click the link above that I provided and if you have any difficulties sending to your own email then you could post again with those problems with any errors encountered or anomolies with your script and I will be glad to help you with it. You could also PM me about the problems real or imagened. Welcome to the world of PHP here on Xisto.

If you're searching for a way to send via SMTP, then I guess you don't mean the mail() function as you would find tonnes of information on that.There's an alternative way, using PHP and sockets to connect to the SMTP server and send the commands that are requested by the SMTP server, the problem however is that most SMTP servers are set up to not allow RELAYing of messages from outside without SMTP authentification that you are actually an allowed user to use that SMTP server, reason being many SPAM mailers could use these servers to distribute their mail if they were not secured against it.If you want to find ideas, look for SMTP via Telnet methods, and then learn PHP sockets to do the exact same thing, as the method is just the same, except you're using PHP to do what you would do in Telnet.You will probably also need to read the RFC on SMTP so you can understand how verification and authentification is done, as well as limitations on it.Cheers,MC

Yep, you basically could build an SMTP client with PHP. It's actually quite easy if you understand protocols in general and have some experience in socket programming.

What I suggest is that you read RFC821 (for example here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt) and then take a look at PHP manual for sockets. If you want example code, you'll be able to find tons at least in C language.

I remember reading about an open source project for a PHP class containing bunch of emailing functionalities including smtp. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything on it right now. And I do believe PEAR package has some sort of SMPT implementation.

The site does work. It's just that the forum has included the right parenthesis. This is by design. So just take away the right parenthesis...

I have been using phpMailer for quite sometime. However, for some reason, it is unable to send mail anymore. I don't recall changing any of the configurations either. I was using gmail as the SMTP server. But now, I have switched back to the mail function, which always works.
