swiftmailer Swift Mailer

  1. Documentation
  2. Change Log

This is a wrapper class to Swift Mailer with some helper methods to speed up sending mail. Current version of Swift Mailer is 4.0.4 due to 4.0.6 (latest as of speaking) having troubles with autoloading classes. Feel free to upgrade if there's anything specific in the new version you might need.

Documentation

Requirements
  • Should work with all Yii versions

Usage

Add the component to your config file within the components section:

'swiftMailer' => array(
	'class' => 'ext.swiftMailer.SwiftMailer',
),
Alternatively

Import the class where you intend to use it

Yii::import('ext.swiftMailer.SwiftMailer');
// Create a new Transport object
$Transport = SwiftMailer::smtpTransport($host, $port);
Example usage

Using SMTP server to send a HTML mail (using a view) and an alternative in plain text

public function actionViewTest() {
	
	// Render view and get content
	// Notice the last argument being `true` on render()
	$content = $this->render('viewTest', array(
		'Test' => 'TestText 123',
	), true);
	
	// Plain text content
	$plainTextContent = "This is my Plain Text Content for those with cheap emailclients ;-)\nThis is my second row of text";
	
	// Get mailer
	$SM = Yii::app()->swiftMailer;
	
	// Get config
	$mailHost = 'mail.example.com';
	$mailPort = 25; // Optional
	
	// New transport
	$Transport = $SM->smtpTransport($mailHost, $mailPort);
	
	// Mailer
	$Mailer = $SM->mailer($Transport);
	
	// New message
	$Message = $SM
		->newMessage('My subject')
		->setFrom(array('from@example.com' => 'Example Name'))
		->setTo(array('recipient@example.com' => 'Recipient Name'))
		->addPart($content, 'text/html')
		->setBody($plainTextContent);
	
	// Send mail
	$result = $Mailer->send($Message);
