[](#fork-of-httpwwwsilverstripeorgsmtpmailer-module)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Silverstripe 3.3.x

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

add the following to your \_ss\_environment.php

```
// smtpmailer
define('SMTPMAILER', json_encode([
	"charset_encoding" => "utf-8", // E-mails characters encoding, e.g. : 'utf-8' or 'iso-8859-1'
	"debug_level" => "0", // Print debugging informations. 0 = no debuging, 1 = print errors, 2 = print errors and messages, 4 = print full activity
    "debug_stop" => true, // Stop Script on debugging. true = echo and die, false = echo can be catched by ob_start(); $var = ob_get_clean();
	"credentials" => [
		"default" => [
			"server_address" => "smtp.gmail.com", // SMTP server address
			"server_port" => "465", // SMTP server port. Set to 25 if no encryption or tls. Set to 465 if ssl
			"secure_connection" => "ssl", // SMTP encryption method : Set to '' or 'tls' or 'ssl'
			"do_authenticate" => true, // Turn on SMTP server authentication. Set to false for an anonymous connection
			"username" => "__EMAILADDRESS__", // SMTP server username, if do_authenticate == true
			"password" => "__PASSWORD__", // SMTP server password, if do_authenticate == true
			"from" => "__EMAILADDRESS__" // From Address: e.g. "My Name" , optional, use when from address needs to be fixed
		],
		"log" => false // false or array with credentials
	]
]));

// Error Log Email Address
define('LOG_EMAIL','__EMAIL__'); // logs will be send to this address, if defined
```

default and log credentials are mendatory. if you want to offer different smtp gateways inside your app, just add them to the credentials array.

selecting a special credentials set for an email is done by setting the credentials config

```
Config::inst()->update('SmtpMailer', 'credentials', '__CREDENTIALS_SET__'); // "default" by default
```

### Example

[](#example)

Example code for fetching debugging return code and using it inside your application

```
$settings = Config::inst()->get('SmtpMailer', 'settings');
$settings['debug_level'] = 4;
$settings['debug_stop'] = false;
Config::inst()->update('SmtpMailer', 'settings', $settings);

// start collecting the echo messages
ob_start();

// SEND MAIL
$email = new Email();
$email->setTo(__EMAIL__);
$email->setSubject(__SUBJECT__);
$email->setBody(__BODY__);
$success = $email->sendPlain();

// write echo messages into Variable
$echoes = ob_get_clean();

if(!success) die($echoes);

```
