The ComposeMail class was born to accomplish a very particular requirement I had. I needed to send an email in both formats: text/plain and text/html. I've looked around in the repository and I was about to use Manuel Lemos' own Email sending class, but it was too complex for what I wanted to do, so I wrote this simple class. I know it lacks of the CC and BCC capabilities, but I will add those features as soon as I can. Here is a brief explanation on how the class works, via this simple script: Even though the code was added to the class a long time ago, I didn't updated this doc properly, so here we go... ++ Added 2004-12-11 ++ The class has now support for CarbonCopy (CC), BlindCarbonCopy (BCC), ReturnPath, EnvelopeTo via sh_<<Header>> (i.e. sh_CarbonCopy("another@email.com"); ) A new method was added: BuildAndSendMessageTextPlain, which sends the mail without any attachment and without HTML part. Just the text/plain section. <? // First of all, we include the class file. I assume there is no need to document this require("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/library/clsSendMail.php"); // We build the HTML part of our mail. In this case, a simple bold sentence $content="<b> this is a test</b>"; // Let's create an instance of our class. We must specify here who will // receive the mail and the subject. $mailer=new ComposeMail("somebody@somserver.com","test mail"); // Let's specify who we are // This two functions will make the "From: " header looks like: // From: "Hey hey!!! you know who am I, don't you?" <itsme@thisserver.com> $mailer->sh_fromName("Hey hey!!! you know who am I, don't you?"); $mailer->sh_fromAddr("itsme@thisserver.com"); // Let's add a sample plain text as the body. Notice that plain text is // not required to be the same as HTML w/o tags. It could be anything you // want $mailer->addTextPlainBodyPart("Test message"); // Let's add the HTML content we created before $mailer->addHTMLBodyPart("$content"); // Let's add our class file as an attachment. Take a look at the parameters // First, we specify the full path of the file to attach // In second place, we say the method to give the file the specified mime // type. It uses the same mime types that you can get when handling // uploaded files in PHP. In this case, text/plain, but it could be // image/jpeg, image/gif or anything that fits the actual file type. // In third place, we must say it will be attached, and not shown inline. $mailer->addAttachFromFile("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/library/clsSendMail.php","text/plain","attachment"); // We have just created our mail... Let's send it and enjoy echo $mailer->BuildAndSendMessage(); ?>
