This library is a wrapper for the most common php mailers.

You can use swiftmailer, phpmailer or Zend Mail to send email.

Features

• smpt transport support.
• Use html or plain text templates. You can create templates in seperate file and the library will use them as body for your emails.

Example Usage

Create the class of your mailer by extending the class akMailer.

    # MyMailer.php
    class MyMailer extends akMailer {

      public function example_email($options) {
        $this->from     = array("noreply@example.com" => "My example");
        $this->cc       = array("recipient_1@domain.tld" => "A name");
        $this->bcc      = array("recipient_2@domain.tld" => "Another Name");
        $this->send_to  = array( $options['recipient'] => $options['name'] );
        $this->subject  = 'My Subject';
        $attach = realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/tux.png");
        $embedded = $this->setEmbeddedAttachment($attach);
        # The keys of this array would be variables in your template file.
        $this->body     = array(
          'name' => $options['name'],
          'title' => $options['title'],
          'embedded' => $embedded
        );
      }
    }

Use your new class

    # example.php
    require_once '../lib/init.php';
    require_once 'MyMailer.php';

    akMailer::$host     = 'mail.domain.tld'; #Set your email host
    akMailer::$port     = 25;
    akMailer::$username = 'username';        # Set your username
    akMailer::$password = 'password';        # Set your password
    akMailer::$encryption = 'tls';           # Set the type of encryption
    akMailer::$transport_type = 'smtp';
    akMailer::$mailer   = 'swift_mailer';
    akMailer::$log      = true;              # allow logging events
    akMailer::$test     = false;             # Set this to true and no email will be send. It would be only logged.
    akMailer::$templates_path = realpath( dirname(__FILE__) ). "/templates/";
    try {
      $mailer = new MyMailer();

      $options =array(
        'recipient' => 'your_test_email@domain.tld',
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'title' => 'Mr'
      );

      /*
       * Call the method from your Mailer object adding the prefix 'send_'.
       * so here the method in MyMailer object is example_email(), and is called
       * like send_example_email()
       */
      $mailer->send_example_email($options);
      if ( $mailer->isSuccess() ) {
        echo 'Successfully send email!';
      }
    } catch (akMailerException $e) {
      echo $e->getMessage();
    }

Define your template

    # example_email.text.html.php
    <h2>Dear <?php echo $title ?> <?php echo $name ?></h2>
    <p><img src="<?php echo $embedded ?>" alt="title"></p>
    <p><em>Inline attachment</em>
    <p>This is a demo example from akMailer</p>
