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

[](#installation)

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

- PHP 7.0 or higher
- Composer (for dependency management)
- A Zoho Mail account (free or paid)

### Step 1: Clone or Download

[](#step-1-clone-or-download)

```
git clone https://github.com/mrsandipmandal/zoho-mail.git
cd zoho-mail
```

### Step 2: Install Dependencies

[](#step-2-install-dependencies)

```
composer install
```

This will install PHPMailer 7.0+ from Composer.

### Install via Composer (recommended)

[](#install-via-composer-recommended)

If you published the package to Packagist, install it into your project with Composer:

```
# stable release (preferred)
composer require open-php/zoho-mail
```

If Packagist shows only a dev branch (no stable tag), require the dev branch explicitly:

```
composer require open-php/zoho-mail:dev-master
# or use dev-main if your default branch is main
composer require open-php/zoho-mail:dev-main
```

If you get a "minimum-stability" error, either add an explicit dev constraint (as above) or allow dev stability in your project's `composer.json`:

```
{
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true
}
```

Recommendation: publish a stable tag (e.g., `v1.0.0`) in your package repository and update Packagist — then projects can require the package without dev constraints:

```
# in your package repo
# git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "v1.0.0"
# git push origin v1.0.0
```

### Step 3: Configure Credentials

[](#step-3-configure-credentials)

Provide credentials when you instantiate the `ZohoMail` class (do not edit package files).

You can pass credentials directly to the constructor or load them from environment variables. Example:

```
// prefer using Composer autoload and environment variables
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use ZohoMail\ZohoMail;

$zoho = new ZohoMail(
    'your-email@zohomail.in',      // Your Zoho Mail address
    'your-app-password',           // Your Zoho password or App Password
    true                           // Debug mode (true for development, false for production)
);
```

Getting Your Zoho Credentials
-----------------------------

[](#getting-your-zoho-credentials)

### Standard Password

[](#standard-password)

If your Zoho account **does not have 2FA enabled**, use your regular account password.

### App Password (Recommended for 2FA)

[](#app-password-recommended-for-2fa)

If your Zoho account **has 2FA enabled**, you must create an App Password:

1. Log in to
2. Navigate to **Security** → **App Passwords**
3. Select "Mail" from the application dropdown
4. Click **Generate**
5. Copy the generated password and paste it into the `index.php` script
