php, send email from any email address [closed]

Answer 1

Sending email without authentication

The correct way of sending email is through a SMTP connection. Assuming the PEAR Mail package is installed.

";
 $to = "Name Whatever ";
 $subject = "Subject!";
 $body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";

 $host = "mail.yourdomain.com";
 $username = "smtp_username";
 $password = "smtp_password";

 $headers = array ('From' => $from,
   'To' => $to,
   'Subject' => $subject);
 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
     'auth' => true,
     'username' => $username,
     'password' => $password));

 $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

 if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
   echo("
" . $mail->getMessage() . "
");
  } else {
   echo("
Message successfully sent!
");
  }
 ?>

Assuming you have Zend Framework, you can do the same by sending through Zend_Mail over SMTP. The example below uses information on Google SMTP

require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php'; //Should be in the include_path
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();

$config = array('ssl' => 'tls', 'port' => 587, 'auth' => 'login', 'username' => 'username@gmail.com', 'password' => 'password');
$transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp('smtp.gmail.com', $config);

$mail = new Zend_Mail();
if (strtolower($this->getType()) == 'html')
$mail->setBodyHtml($this->getBody());
}
else {
$mail->setBodyText($this->getBody());
}

$mail
->setFrom($this->getFromEmail(), $this->getFromName())
->addTo($this->getToEmail(), $this->getToName())
->setSubject($this->getSubject());

$mail->send($transport);
