I am trying to make an application which can parse emails and update the database. I tried to set up the localhost to send and receive emails so that I can carry on from there. I am unable to do that. I tried configuring Outlook, Thunderbird to set up local email system using mercury mail server. Its not working properly.
I would like to have a step by step procedure explaining how to make this work.
hi try this it will work..... download phpmailer.zip github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
simple code for send mail:
<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';
$mail->Password = 'ur password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->From = '[email protected]';
$mail->FromName = 'mailer';
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]');
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]');
$mail->addCC('[email protected]');
$mail->addBCC('[email protected]');
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
?>
For sending emails via SMTP in PHP you only have to change SMTP = localhost in the [mail function] section of PHP.INI to the SMTP of your ISP. Also you need to change the port for some ISPs that block the default port (25). Exemple:
[mail function]
SMTP = mail.mydomain.com
smtp_port = 2525
i found a tutorial about it it works fine with me
