Swiftmailer: A feature-rich PHP Mailer
======================================
Swift Mailer is a component based library for sending e-mails from PHP applications.
**Swiftmailer will stop being maintained at the end of November 2021.**
Please, move to `Symfony Mailer <https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html>`_ at your earliest convenience.
`Symfony Mailer <https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html>`_ is the next evolution of Swiftmailer.
It provides the same features with support for modern PHP code and support for third-party providers.
System Requirements
-------------------
Swift Mailer requires PHP 7.0 or higher (``proc_*`` functions must be
available).
Swift Mailer does not work when used with function overloading as implemented
by ``mbstring`` when ``mbstring.func_overload`` is set to ``2``.
Installation
------------
The recommended way to install Swiftmailer is via Composer:
.. code-block:: bash
$ composer require "swiftmailer/swiftmailer:^6.0"
Basic Usage
-----------
Here is the simplest way to send emails with Swift Mailer::
require_once '/path/to/vendor/autoload.php';
// Create the Transport
$transport = (new Swift_SmtpTransport('smtp.example.org', 25))
->setUsername('your username')
->setPassword('your password')
;
// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = new Swift_Mailer($transport);
// Create a message
$message = (new Swift_Message('Wonderful Subject'))
->setFrom(['john@doe.com' => 'John Doe'])
->setTo(['receiver@domain.org', 'other@domain.org' => 'A name'])
->setBody('Here is the message itself')
;
// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);
You can also use Sendmail as a transport::
// Sendmail
$transport = new Swift_SendmailTransport('/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs');
