This demonstrates sending out multiple email messages with binary attachments from a MySQL database with multipart/alternative support.
require("class.phpmailer.php"); $mail = new phpmailer(); $mail->From = "list@example.com"; $mail->FromName = "List manager"; $mail->Host = "smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com"; $mail->Mailer = "smtp"; @MYSQL_CONNECT("localhost","root","password"); @mysql_select_db("my_company"); $query = "SELECT full_name, email, photo FROM employee WHERE id=$id"; $result = @MYSQL_QUERY($query); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { $body = "Hello <font size=\"4\">" . $row["full_name"] . "</font>, <p>"; $body .= "<i>Your</i> personal photograph to this message.<p>"; $body .= "Sincerely, <br>"; $body .= "phpmailer List manager"; $text_body = "Hello " . $row["full_name"] . ", \n\n"; $text_body .= "Your personal photograph to this message.\n\n"; $text_body .= "Sincerely, \n"; $text_body .= "phpmailer List manager"; $mail->Body = $body; $mail->AltBody = $text_body; $mail->AddAddress($row["email"], $row["full_name"]); $mail->AddStringAttachment($row["photo"], "YourPhoto.jpg"); if(!$mail->Send()) echo "There has been a mail error sending to " . $row["email"] . "<br>"; $mail->ClearAddresses(); $mail->ClearAttachments(); } |
Extending classes with inheritance is one of the most powerful features of object-oriented programming. It allows you to make changes to the original class for your own personal use without hacking the original classes. Plus, it is very easy to do. I've provided an example:
Here's a class that extends the phpmailer class and sets the defaults
for the particular site:
PHP include file: mail.inc.php
require("class.phpmailer.php"); class my_phpmailer extends phpmailer { var $From = "from@example.com"; var $FromName = "Mailer"; var $Host = "smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com"; var $Mailer = "smtp"; var $WordWrap = 75; function error_handler($msg) { print("My Site Error"); print("Description:"); printf("%s", $msg); exit; } function do_something($something) { } } |
require("mail.inc.php"); $mail = new my_phpmailer; $mail->AddAddress("josh@example.com", "Josh Adams"); $mail->Subject = "Here is the subject"; $mail->Body = "This is the message body"; $mail->AddAttachment("c:/temp/11-10-00.zip", "new_name.zip"); if(!$mail->Send()) { echo "There was an error sending the message"; exit; } echo "Message was sent successfully"; |
