#### Last Version

[](#last-version)

```
$ composer require rubricate/mailer

```

Documentation is at

#### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP server with sockets and TLS/SSL support

Check if your PHP server supports sockets and TLS/SSL:

#### 1. Sockets support in PHP

[](#1-sockets-support-in-php)

If sockets appears, support is enabled.

```
php -m | grep sockets

```

or code:

```
if (extension_loaded('sockets')) {
    echo "Sockets extension is enabled.";
} else {
    echo "Sockets extension is NOT enabled.";
}
```

#### 2. TLS/SSL support (via OpenSSL)

[](#2-tlsssl-support-via-openssl)

TLS is supported via the openssl extension. This extension is used for secure connections (SMTP with TLS/SSL, HTTPS, etc.).

```
php -m | grep openssl

```

or via code:

```
if (extension_loaded('openssl')) {
    echo "OpenSSL is enabled (TLS/SSL support)";
} else {
    echo "OpenSSL is NOT enabled";
}
```

#### Usage example

[](#usage-example)

```
$mailer = new SmtpMailer(
    'smtp.gmail.com', // Host
    587, // Port
    'yourmail@gmail.com', // User
    'your_password_or_appkey', // Password or App Password
    'yourmail@gmail.com', // Sender
    'Your Name', // Sender's Name
    true // Enable debugging
);

try {
    $mailer->send(
        'destination@example.com', // Recipient
        'Pure SMTP email test', // Subject
        'Working!This is a test via Rubricate Mailer.', // Body
        true // Send as HTML
    );

    echo "Email sent successfully!";

} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Error sending: " . $e->getMessage();
}
```
