Based on the Joomla! documentation # http://docs.joomla.org/Sending_email_from_extensions, I'm trying to send emails with the code below:
function sendmail($file,$mailto)
{
$mailer =& JFactory::getMailer();
//var_dump($mailer); exit;
$config =&JFactory::getConfig();
$sender = array(
$config->getValue( 'config.mailfrom' ),
$config->getValue( 'config.fromname' )
);
$mailer->setSender($sender);
$recipient = array($mailto);
$mailer->addRecipient($recipient);
$body = "Your body string\nin double quotes if you want to parse the \nnewlines etc";
$mailer->setSubject('Your subject string');
$mailer->setBody($body);
// Optional file attached
$mailer->addAttachment(JPATH_BASE.DS.'CSV'.DS.$file);
$send =&$mailer->Send();
if ( $send !== true ) {
echo 'Error sending email: ' . $send->message;
} else {
echo 'Mail sent';
}
}
($file is the full path of a file zip and $mailto is a my gmail.)
However, when I send mail, I receive the error:
Could not instantiate mail function.
Fatal error: Cannot access protected property JException::$message in /var/www/html/dai/components/com_servicemanager/views/i0602/view.html.php on line 142
What is causing this error?
Please save yourself some sanity and do not try to use Joomla's mailer implementation. Not only is it unreliable as you've experienced, it handles different charsets and HTML content poorly. Just include and use PHPMailer.
Change
echo 'Error sending email: ' . $send->message;
to
echo 'Error sending email:'.$send->get('message');
then run your code again. The error that you get should tell us why it isn't instantiating.
In joomla send a mail with attachment file
$from="noreplay#gmail.com";//Please set Proper email id
$fromname="noreplay";
$to ='admin#gmail.com';
// Set a you want send email to
$subject = "Download";
$message = "Thank you For Downloading";
$attachment = JPATH_BASE.'/media/demo.pdf';
// set a file path
$res = JFactory::getMailer()->sendMail($from, $fromname, $to,$subject, $message,$mode=1,$cc = null, $bcc = null, $attachment);
if($res)
{
$errormsg = "Mail Successfully Send";
}
else
{
$errormsg ="Mail Not Send";
}
after you have check mail in your inbox or spam folder.
mail in spam folder because not proper set email id in from id.
After several years of Joomla development, I recommend using RSFORM PRO by RSJOOMLA to send mail for you after the visitor to your website fills out the form. It is much easier to manage than having to deal with the internal mail server.

CC or forward is not possible to set on mailserver for authorisation mail sent by Joomla itself, but we'd like to store these e-mails.
Question is: how to set it in php of specific plugin? (plugin is sending these e-mails)
code:
// send auth email to user who signed ...
if ($signature_verification = (int)$this->settings->get('security.signature_verification', 0)) {
// unpublished, visitor must verify it first
$this->db->set('published', 0);
$config = JFactory::getConfig();
$from = $config->get('mailfrom', '');
$fromname = $config->get('fromname', '');
$recipient = (string)$this->db->get('email', '');
When I replace last line wth: $recipient = ('my#email.com'), then I get that message, but i want one for visitor and copy for me.
Thanks for advice
OK, actually this piece of code initiates sending of that mail:
if (
$this->sendMail(
$from,
$fromname,
$recipient,
$subject,
$body
) !== true
) {
throw new phpmailerException(JText::_('PLG_CONTENT_CDPETITIONS_EMAIL_SEND_FAILED'), 500);
}
When I make copy of that code, paste it below, and replace $recipient with my e-mail, it works: I have the same message delivered on both adresses. But I need it have it like CC (carbon copy) and have original recipient adress in header of mail, which is delivered to me.
Use the built in mailer methods for Joomla:
$msg = "This is my email message.";
$subject = "Database Update Email";
$to = (string)$this->db->get('email');
$config = JFactory::getConfig();
$fromemail = $config->get('mailfrom');
$fromname = $config->get('fromname');
$from = array($fromemail,$fromname);
$mailer = JFactory::getMailer();
$mailer->setSender($from);
$mailer->addRecipient($to);
$mailer->addRecipient('you1#yourdomain.com');
$mailer->addRecipient('you2#yourdomain.com');
$mailer->addCC('you3#yourdomain.com');
$mailer->addBCC('you4#yourdomain.com');
$mailer->setSubject($subject);
$mailer->setBody($msg);
$mailer->isHTML();
$mailer->send();
This should use PHP to send an HTML email to whomever you want and copy other users on the email through either direct send, CC, or BCC depending on which method you use.
I'm trying to send emails with PHP. I would like to add some style with CSS (no matter if inline, internal or with external file).
I've tried PHPmailer, but it fails to recognize some elements (such as body), media queries (#media) and declarations (max-width, inline-block, etc...). I'm now trying to use SwiftMailer, but online documentation doesn't mention anything about styling.
Just for sake of clarity, here's the snippet I would like to use: JsFiddle
Any ideas to send PHP emails with working HTML/CSS?
You could use a CSS inliner tool like http://templates.mailchimp.com/resources/inline-css/
to convert your 'normal' template (made like a normal HTML page) to an email-friendly template. This is needed because mail clients doesn't recognise separate elements.
I currently use a template based on the ones made available by Zurb, http://zurb.com/ink/
It also depends on the receiver's email client. Not all clients accept all css. Use a litmus test of some sort to check with different e-mail clients which css you can use. Tables often work with email clients, a lot of them don't accept divs I believe.
I use PHPMailer to send emails with PHP, and it never fails to recognize these elements (for me anyway).
To use it, i create a fonction :
function sendMail($name, $from, $message, $to, $subject)
{
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = "<html><head></head><body style=\"background-color: #F2F1F0;\"><p>".$message."</p></body></html>";
$mail->SetFrom($from, $name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($from, $name);
// Only if you want to send an attachment, send a variable $object to the function
//$mail->AddAttachment($object);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AddAddress($to, $name);
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$result = $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
$result = "Mail sent successfully";
}
return $result;
}
And an exemple to use it :
// Preparation of the message
$message = '<p class="img"><img src="http://mywebsite.com/img/myImage.png" width="220px"></p>';
$message .= '<p class="txt">Hello Mr Dupond !</p>';
$message .= '<p class="txt">We are glad to have you among us</p>';
$message .= '<p class="txt">Se you soon on our Website !</p>';
$message = utf8_decode($message);
// variables needed
$name = "Mr Oktopuss";
$from = "contact#oktopuss.eu";
$to = "contactAddress#domain.ext";
$subject = "The subject of this mail !";
// Send the mail and receive the result
$result = sendMail($name, $from, $message, $to, $subject);
echo $result;
Maybe that could be help you
I am trying to send mail using php.And i am using WampServer.
so i tried the following code
ini_set("SMTP","smtp.gmail.com" );
ini_set("smtp_port","465");
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'person1#gmail.com');
$to = "person2#gmail.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "person1#gmail.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$retval = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
if( $retval == true )
{
echo "Message sent successfully...";
}
else
{
echo "Message could not be sent...";
}
but it take more time to connect and says could not connect with localhost.
Please help me in solving the problem
try this configuration:
http://blog.techwheels.net/send-email-from-localhost-wamp-server-using-sendmail/
this might help.
somehow, instead of "smtp.gmail.com", for me it works with "ssl:smtp.gmail.com"
This line:
ini_set("SMTP","smtp.gmail.com" );
should be
ini_set("SMTP","ssl:smtp.gmail.com" );
Also, see this response to a similar question: Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page
You're trying to send mail from your localhost (Your PC) I guess It's not setup to send mail. Move the script to a production server and it will work

It's done.For more information see this link Sending email from extensions.

I working on a form whereby when the user enter in their email account and click on send, an email will be sent to their email account.
I have everything worked out. Just that it doesnt send the email to my account. Anyone have any ideas? Is there a configuration that I left out or something?
This is the sample from my controller:
public function retrieveemailAction(){
$users = new Users();
$email = $_POST['email'];
$view = Zend_Registry::get('view');
if($users->checkEmail($_POST['email'])) {
// The Subject
$subject = "Email Test";
// The message
$message = "this is a test";
// Send email
// Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise.
// Use if command to display email message status
if(mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
$view->operation = 'true';
}
} else {
$view->operation = 'false';
}
$view->render('retrieve.tpl');
}
I recommend you use Zend_Mail instead of mail(). It handles a lot of stuff automatically and just works great.
Do you have a SMTP server? Trying to send mail without your own SMTP server could be causing the mail to not be sent.
This is what I use for sending mails using Zend_Mail and Gmail:
In Bootstrap.php, I configure a default mail transport:
protected function _initMail()
{
try {
$config = array(
'auth' => 'login',
'username' => 'username#gmail.com',
'password' => 'password',
'ssl' => 'tls',
'port' => 587
);
$mailTransport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp('smtp.gmail.com', $config);
Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport($mailTransport);
} catch (Zend_Exception $e){
//Do something with exception
}
}
Then to send an email I use the following code:
//Prepare email
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->addTo($email);
$mail->setSubject($subject);
$mail->setBody($message);
$mail->setFrom('username#gmail.com', 'User Name');
//Send it!
$sent = true;
try {
$mail->send();
} catch (Exception $e){
$sent = false;
}
//Do stuff (display error message, log it, redirect user, etc)
if($sent){
//Mail was sent successfully.
} else {
//Mail failed to send.
}
First of all i would switch to using Zend_Mail. Second i would use a real mail account on an smtp server somewhere and send from that. A lot of times there are restrictions on sending from the server itself, but using an actual mail server usually fixes this.
There's a very useful screencast covering Zend_Mail available on ZendCasts
http://www.zendcasts.com/introduction-to-zend_mail/2010/02/
In line $mail->setBody($message);, change it to $mail->setBodyText($message);
