using core php mail() to send via gmail SMTP

问题:

Is it possible to send mail in core php via gmail smtp without using any external class?

回答1:

I don't think it is possible because you need to perform an authentification. Also, you need to connect via an SSL socket, I don't know if the stock mail() function support this.

If you are willing to use the Pear Mail package, you might want to take a look at this:

There's a lot of miscommunication about this. It is 100% possible to send emails using gmail via PHP's simple "mail()" command. And it is 100% easy.

Install SSMTP:

sudo apt-get install ssmtp

Edit its settings file:

sudo nano /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

Inside, make it similar to this, but with your own credentials:

mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
AuthUser=[e-mail]
AuthPass=password
UseSTARTTLS=YES

# You can only do this if you've verified your domain with Gmail.
# If you haven't, delete, or add a # before this
hostname=yourwebsite.com

FromLineOverride=YES

Lastly, open your php.ini, and search for sendmail_path and use this value:

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/ssmtp -t

That's it! Test it out in your PHP, with the simple 1-line mail function:

mail('[e-mail]', 'Subject', 'Message', 'From: Your name <[e-mail]>');

Update on Gmail Security

Gmail now blocks this by default. You can still do this by visiting: http://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

Turn this feature ON.

It is possible, although you have to modify php.ini settings, see the PHP manual. You can modify php.ini settings at runtime with ini_set

回答4:

If you have access to edit the php.ini then you can do something like this:

[mail function]
SMTP = ssl://smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 465
username = [e-mail]
password = myemailpassword
sendmail_from = [e-mail]

Alternatively you can do:

<?php
ini_set( 'smtp_port', 465 );
//etc

you can do this by PHPmailer Library it already having gmail.php file .

just open and place your detail in that file , you can also use the similar code in your file .

You must make setting in your gmail account setting to allow smtp mailing
