I'm trying to send an HTML message while using SMTP authentication to Gmail in PHP. Here is the script that I am using:
require_once "Mail.php";
require_once 'Mail/mime.php';
$from = "Some Name <[email protected]>";
$to = "Other Name <[email protected]>";
$subject = "This is a test";
$crlf = "\n";
$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "465";
$username = "[email protected]";
$password = "mypass";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'Return-Path' => $from,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
$mime->setTXTBody("This is a test email message");
$mime->setHTMLBody($body);
$body = $mime->get();
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
Note: the $body
is an HTML table with images and other info.
When I execute the script it fails with the following error:
Failed to set sender: Some name [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 555, response: 5.5.2 Syntax error. c6sm20541406obd.22)]
Here is what I've tried to see what is going wrong: 1. Using the same script using 'Mail' instead of 'smtp' i.e.
$smtp = Mail::factory('Mail');
This works just fine. 2. Using the same script w/o the mime.php, this also works but doesn't allow one to send an HTML email.
Does anybody know how I can combine the two so that I'm still using SMTP authentication and send an HTML message?
EDIT:
Here is the dump of $mime->headers()
:
[MIME-Version] => 1.0
[From] => Some Name
[Return-Path] => Some Name
[Subject] => This is a test
[Content-Type] => multipart/alternative;
boundary="=_8662996a1f586248545d9f01f48e916d"
See the below URL I think it is very help full to you.
How to send an HTML email using SMTP in PHP
The Gmail's SMTP server address is SMTP.GOOGLEMAIL.COM not SMTP.GMAIL.COM.
Therefore Your settings should be:
// ...
$smtp=array();
$smtp['host']='ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
See another example:-

Figured it out myself finally.
Thanks to Abid Hussain for providing the link to the example here: http://tonyvirelli.com/slider/php-html-email-using-smtp/
Solution:
'Return-Path' => $from
from the headers array.To => $to
to the headers array(without this, the to header of the received email is Undisclosed recipients)If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
