SendGrid-php
============

[](#sendgrid-php)

This library allows you to quickly and easily send emails through SendGrid using PHP.

WARNING: This module was recently upgraded from [1.1.7](https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php/tree/v1.1.7) to 2.X. There were API breaking changes for various method names. See [usage](https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php#usage) for up to date method names.

Important: This library requires PHP 5.3 or higher.

[![BuildStatus](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b3d1fafb543446232b518c518c741ec4e9d4d25f470aa9e2184e3d85236af652/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f73656e64677269642f73656e64677269642d7068702e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/sendgrid/sendgrid-php)[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/695b93a075eed8b0b0f00b14af899f578c32d7e076afd4eebf21a15d36c3dc6a/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f73656e64677269642f73656e64677269642f76657273696f6e2e706e67)](https://packagist.org/packages/sendgrid/sendgrid)

```
$sendgrid = new SendGrid('username', 'password');
$email    = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       setFrom('me@bar.com')->
       setSubject('Subject goes here')->
       setText('Hello World!')->
       setHtml('Hello World!');

$sendgrid->send($email);
```

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

[](#installation)

Add SendGrid to your `composer.json` file. If you are not using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org), you should be. It's an excellent way to manage dependencies in your PHP application.

```
{
  "require": {
    "godpod/sendgrid": "2.2.0.1"
  }
}
```

Then at the top of your PHP script require the autoloader:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

#### Alternative: Install from zip

[](#alternative-install-from-zip)

If you are not using Composer, simply download and install the **[latest packaged release of the library as a zip](https://sendgrid-open-source.s3.amazonaws.com/sendgrid-php/sendgrid-php.zip)**.

[**⬇︎ Download Packaged Library ⬇︎**](https://sendgrid-open-source.s3.amazonaws.com/sendgrid-php/sendgrid-php.zip)

Then require the library from package:

```
require("path/to/sendgrid-php/sendgrid-php.php");
```

Previous versions of the library can be found in the [version index](https://sendgrid-open-source.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html).

Example App
-----------

[](#example-app)

There is a [sendgrid-php-example app](https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php-example) to help jumpstart your development.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To begin using this library, initialize the SendGrid object with your SendGrid credentials.

```
$sendgrid = new SendGrid('username', 'password');
```

Create a new SendGrid Email object and add your message details.

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       addTo('bar@foo.com')->
       setFrom('me@bar.com')->
       setSubject('Subject goes here')->
       setText('Hello World!')->
       setHtml('Hello World!');
```

Send it.

```
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### addTo

[](#addto)

You can add one or multiple TO addresses using `addTo`.

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       addTo('another@another.com');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setTos

[](#settos)

If you prefer, you can add multiple TO addresses as an array using the `setTos` method. This will unset any previous `addTo`s you appended.

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$emails = array("foo@bar.com", "another@another.com", "other@other.com");
$email->setTos($emails);
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setFrom

[](#setfrom)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setFrom('foo@bar.com');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setFromName

[](#setfromname)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setFrom('foo@bar.com');
$email->setFromName('Foo Bar');
$email->setFrom('other@example.com');
$email->setFromName('Other Guy');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setReplyTo

[](#setreplyto)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       setReplyTo('someone.else@example.com')->
       setFromName('John Doe')->
       ...
```

### Cc

[](#cc)

#### addCc

[](#addcc)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addCc('foo@bar.com');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setCc

[](#setcc)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setCc('foo@bar.com');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setCcs

[](#setccs)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$emails = array("foo@bar.com", "another@another.com", "other@other.com");
$email->setCcs($emails);
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### removeCc

[](#removecc)

```
$email->removeCc('foo@bar.com');
```

### Bcc

[](#bcc)

Use multiple `addTo`s as a superior alternative to `setBcc`.

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       addTo('someotheraddress@bar.com')->
       addTo('another@another.com')->
       ...
```

But if you do still have a need for Bcc you can do the following:

#### addBcc

[](#addbcc)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addBcc('foo@bar.com');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setBcc

[](#setbcc)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setBcc('foo@bar.com');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setBccs

[](#setbccs)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$emails = array("foo@bar.com", "another@another.com", "other@other.com");
$email->setBccs($emails);
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### removeBcc

[](#removebcc)

```
$email->removeBcc('foo@bar.com');
```

#### setSubject

[](#setsubject)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setSubject('This is a subject');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setText

[](#settext)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setText('This is some text');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setHtml

[](#sethtml)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setHtml('This is an html email');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setDate

[](#setdate)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setDate('Wed, 17 Dec 2014 19:21:16 +0000');
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setSendAt

[](#setsendat)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setSendAt(1409348513);
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### setSendEachAt

[](#setsendeachat)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->setSendEachAt(array(1409348513, 1409348514, 1409348515));
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

#### addSendEachAt

[](#addsendeachat)

```
$email   = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addSendEachAt(1409348513);
$email->addSendEachAt(1409348514);
$email->addSendEachAt(1409348515);
$sendgrid->send($email);
```

### Categories

[](#categories)

Categories are used to group email statistics provided by SendGrid.

To use a category, simply set the category name. Note: there is a maximum of 10 categories per email.

#### addCategory

[](#addcategory)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       addCategory("Category 1")->
       addCategory("Category 2");
```

#### setCategory

[](#setcategory)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       setCategory("Category 1");
```

#### setCategories

[](#setcategories)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$categories = array("Category 1", "Category 2", "Category 3");
$email->setCategories($categories);
```

#### removeCategory

[](#removecategory)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       removeCategory("Category 1");
```

### Attachments

[](#attachments)

Attachments are currently file based only, with future plans for an in memory implementation as well.

File attachments are limited to 7 MB per file.

#### addAttachment

[](#addattachment)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       addAttachment("../path/to/file.txt");
```

#### setAttachment

[](#setattachment)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       setAttachment("../path/to/file.txt");
```

#### setAttachments

[](#setattachments)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$attachments = array("../path/to/file1.txt", "../path/to/file2.txt");
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       setAttachments($attachments);
```

#### removeAttachment

[](#removeattachment)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       addAttachment("../path/to/file.txt");
$email->removeAttachment("../path/to/file.txt");
```

You can tag files for use as inline HTML content. It will mark the file for inline disposition using the specified "cid".

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')
      ->setHtml('Our logo:')
      ->addAttachment("../path/to/file.txt", "super_file.txt", "file-cid");
```

**Important Gotcha**: `setBcc` is not supported with attachments. This is by design. Instead use multiple `addTo`s. Each user will receive their own personalized email with that setup, and only see their own email.

Standard `setBcc` will hide who the email is addressed to. If you use the multiple addTo, each user will receive a personalized email showing \**only* their email. This is more friendly and more personal. Additionally, it is a good idea to use multiple `addTo`s because setBcc is not supported with attachments. This is by design.

So just remember, when thinking 'bcc', instead use multiple `addTo`s.

### Substitutions

[](#substitutions)

Substitutions can be used to customize multi-recipient emails, and tailor them for the user

#### addSubstitution

[](#addsubstitution)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('john@somewhere.com')->
       addTo('harry@somewhere.com')->
       addTo('Bob@somewhere.com')->
       ...
       setHtml('Hey %name%, we've seen that you've been gone for a while')->
       addSubstitution('%name%', array('John', 'Harry', 'Bob'));
```

Substitutions can also be used to customize multi-recipient subjects.

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTos(array('john@somewhere.com', 'harry@somewhere.com', 'bob@somewhere.com'))
    ->setSubject('%subject%')
    ->addSubstitution('%subject%', array('Subject to John', 'Subject to Harry', 'Subject to Bob'))
    ...;
```

#### setSubstitutions

[](#setsubstitutions)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTos(array('john@somewhere.com', 'harry@somewhere.com', 'bob@somewhere.com'))
    ->setSubject('%subject%')
    ->setSubstitutions(array('%name%' => array('John', 'Harry', 'Bob') , '%subject%' => array('Subject to John', 'Subject to Harry', 'Subject to Bob')))
    ...;
```

### Sections

[](#sections)

Sections can be used to further customize messages for the end users. A section is only useful in conjunction with a substitution value.

#### addSection

[](#addsection)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('john@somewhere.com')->
       addTo("harry@somewhere.com")->
       addTo("Bob@somewhere.com")->
       ...
       setHtml("Hey %name%, you work at %place%")->
       addSubstitution("%name%", array("John", "Harry", "Bob"))->
       addSubstitution("%place%", array("%office%", "%office%", "%home%"))->
       addSection("%office%", "an office")->
       addSection("%home%", "your house");
```

#### setSections

[](#setsections)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('john@somewhere.com')->
       addTo("harry@somewhere.com")->
       addTo("Bob@somewhere.com")->
       ...
       setHtml("Hey %name%, you work at %place%")->
       addSubstitution("%name%", array("John", "Harry", "Bob"))->
       addSubstitution("%place%", array("%office%", "%office%", "%home%"))->
       setSections(array("%office%" => "an office", "%home%" => "your house"));
```

### Unique Arguments

[](#unique-arguments)

Unique Arguments are used for tracking purposes

#### addUniqueArg / addUniqueArgument

[](#adduniquearg--adduniqueargument)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       addUniqueArg("Customer", "Someone")->
       addUniqueArg("location", "Somewhere")->
```

#### setUniqueArgs / setUniqueArguments

[](#setuniqueargs--setuniquearguments)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       setUniqueArgs(array('cow' => 'chicken'));
```

### Filter Settings

[](#filter-settings)

Filter Settings are used to enable and disable apps, and to pass parameters to those apps.

#### addFilter / addFilterSetting

[](#addfilter--addfiltersetting)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       addFilter("gravatar", "enable", 1)->
       addFilter("footer", "enable", 1)->
       addFilter("footer", "text/plain", "Here is a plain text footer")->
       addFilter("footer", "text/html", "Here is an HTML footer");
```

#### setFilters / setFilterSettings

[](#setfilters--setfiltersettings)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       setFilters(array("gravatar" => array("settings" => array("enable" => 1))))
```

### Headers

[](#headers)

You can add standard email message headers as necessary.

#### addHeader

[](#addheader)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       addHeader('X-Sent-Using', 'SendGrid-API')->
       addHeader('X-Transport', 'web');
```

#### setHeaders

[](#setheaders)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       setHeaders(array('X-Sent-Using' => 'SendGrid-API', 'X-Transport' => 'web'));
```

#### removeHeader

[](#removeheader)

```
$email = new SendGrid\Email();
$email->addTo('foo@bar.com')->
       ...
       addHeader('X-Sent-Using', 'SendGrid-API')->
       addHeader('X-Transport', 'web');
$email->removeHeader('X-Transport');
```

### Options

[](#options)

Options may be passed to the library when initializing the SendGrid object:

```
$options = array(
  'turn_off_ssl_verification' => false,
  'protocol' => 'https',
  'host' => 'api.sendgrid.com',
  'endpoint' => '/api/mail.send.json',
  'port' => null,
  'url' => null
);
$sendgrid = new SendGrid('username', 'password', $options);
```

#### Changing URL

[](#changing-url)

You may change the URL sendgrid-php uses to send email by supplying various parameters to `options`, all parameters are optional:

```
$sendgrid = new SendGrid('username', 'password', array( 'protocol' => 'http', 'host' => 'sendgrid.org', 'endpoint' => '/send', 'port' => '80' ));
```

A full URL may also be provided:

```
$sendgrid = new SendGrid('username', 'password', array( 'url' => 'http://sendgrid.org:80/send'));
```

#### Ignoring SSL certificate verification

[](#ignoring-ssl-certificate-verification)

You can optionally ignore verification of SSL certificate when using the Web API.

```
$sendgrid   = new SendGrid(SENDGRID_USERNAME, SENDGRID_PASSWORD,  array("turn_off_ssl_verification" => true));
```

### Sending to 1,000s of emails in one batch

[](#sending-to-1000s-of-emails-in-one-batch)

Sometimes you might want to send 1,000s of emails in one request. You can do that. It is recommended you break each batch up in 1,000 increments. So if you need to send to 5,000 emails, then you'd break this into a loop of 1,000 emails at a time.

```
$sendgrid   = new SendGrid(SENDGRID_USERNAME, SENDGRID_PASSWORD);
$email       = new SendGrid\Email();

$recipients = array("alpha@mailinator.com", "beta@mailinator.com", "zeta@mailinator.com");
$names      = array("Alpha", "Beta", "Zeta");

$email->setFrom("from@mailinator.com")->
        setSubject('[sendgrid-php-batch-email]')->
        setTos($recipients)->
        addSubstitution("%name%", $names)->
        setText("Hey %name, we have an email for you")->
        setHtml("Hey %name%, we have an email for you");

$result = $sendgrid->send($email);
```
