The download package consists of 2 files. 1)The mail script, 2)The mail function, 3
The Code:
<?php
$from="sales@xenserv.co.uk";
$namefrom="Sales Department";
$to = "receivers@email.com";
$nameto = "To Name";
$subject = "Email Subject";
$message = "Email Message goes here.....";
smtp($from, $namefrom, $to, $nameto, $subject, $message,);
?>
This is the mail script parameters used to construct the email ready to be sent. We then pass these parameters to the smtp function below
The SMTP function
<?php
function smtp ($from, $namefrom, $to, $nameto, $subject, $message) {
$smtpServer = "192.168.xxx.xxx"; //ip address of the mail server or hostname
$port = "25"; // should be 25 by default,
$timeout = "45"; // typical timeout. try 45 for slow servers
$username = "sales@xenserv.co.uk"; // the login for your smtp
$password = "myPA$$"; // the password for your smtp
$localhost = "127.0.0.1"; // Defined IP for the web server.
$newLine = "\r\n"; // aka, carrage return line feed. var just for newlines in MS
$secure = 0; // change to 1 if your server is running under SSL
//connect to the host and port
$smtpConnect = fsockopen($smtpServer, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
//you have to say HELO again after TLS is started
fputs($smtpConnect, "HELO $localhost". $newLine);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['heloresponse2'] = "$smtpResponse";
//request for auth login
fputs($smtpConnect,"AUTH LOGIN" . $newLine);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['authrequest'] = "$smtpResponse";
//send the username
fputs($smtpConnect, base64_encode($username) . $newLine);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['authusername'] = "$smtpResponse";
//send the password
fputs($smtpConnect, base64_encode($password) . $newLine);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['authpassword'] = "$smtpResponse";
//email from
fputs($smtpConnect, "MAIL FROM: <$from>" . $newLine);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['mailfromresponse'] = "$smtpResponse";
//email to
fputs($smtpConnect, "RCPT TO: <$to>" . $newLine);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['mailtoresponse'] = "$smtpResponse";
//the email
fputs($smtpConnect, "DATA" . $newLine);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['data1response'] = "$smtpResponse";
//construct headers
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $newLine;
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . $newLine;
$headers .= "To: $nameto <$to>" . $newLine;
$headers .= "From: $namefrom <$from>" . $newLine;
//observe the . after the newline, it signals the end of message
fputs($smtpConnect, "To: $to\r\nFrom: $from\r\nSubject: $subject\r\n$headers\r\n\r\n$message\r\n.\r\n");
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['data2response'] = "$smtpResponse";
// say goodbye
fputs($smtpConnect,"QUIT" . $newLine);
$smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096);
$logArray['quitresponse'] = "$smtpResponse";
$logArray['quitcode'] = substr($smtpResponse,0,3);
fclose($smtpConnect);
//a return value of 221 in $retVal["quitcode"] is a success
return($logArray);
}
?>
This is the smtp mail function to process the parameters and send the mail. You can also use this function to send attachments, but modifications are required.
