Certainly! If you’re looking to send emails from your PHP code, PHPMailer is a fantastic library to use. It’s
widely recognized and used by many open-source projects, including WordPress, Drupal, 1CRM, SugarCRM,
Yii, and Joomla! .

Here’s a brief overview of how to use PHPMailer:

1. Installation:

First, you’ll need to install PHPMailer. You can find it on GitHub: PHPMailer Repository.
You can include it in your project using Composer or by manually downloading the library.

2. Basic Usage:

Create a new PHP file where you want to send an email.

Import PHPMailer at the top of your file:


require 'path/to/PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'path/to/PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';

Initialize PHPMailer:

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

3. Set Up Email Parameters:

Specify the recipient(s), subject, and message:


$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Hello from PHPMailer';
$message = 'This is a test email sent using PHPMailer.';

4. Configure SMTP (Optional):

If you want to send emails via SMTP (recommended), set up your SMTP server details:
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'your_smtp_username';
$mail->Password = 'your_smtp_password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Use 'ssl' if needed
$mail->Port = 587; // SMTP port

5. Compose and Send Email:

Add the recipient, subject, and message:


$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
$mail->addAddress($to);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;

Finally, send the email:


try {
$mail->send();
echo 'Email sent successfully!';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Error sending email: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}

6. Additional Features:

PHPMailer supports attachments, HTML emails, multiple recipients, and more. Explore its
documentation for advanced usage.

Remember to replace placeholders like '[email protected]', 'your_smtp_username', and


'your_smtp_password' with actual values relevant to your setup. Happy emailing! 📧🚀
