Send Email From PHP Using SMTP Authentication

[WHMSonic]

Hello,
This is useful article. In this article I am showing how to send email from PHP using SMTP Authentication for WHM/cPanel Servers.

Everybody knows that normal php mail functions sending emails as a nobody and this is cause to spam emails. Now check my amazing solution

Login to your root SSH and copy/use following command line to your SSH line.

PHP Code:

pear install Mail;pear install Net_SMTP;pear install Auth_SASL; 


After above command, you can now use the following php script and send real emails.

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "MyName <name@myemail.com>";
$to = "TargetName <name@targetemail.com>";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$host = "mail.mailserver.com";
$username = "name@myemail.com";
$password = "my_password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
  'To' => $to,
  'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
  array ('host' => $host,
    'auth' => true,
    'username' => $username,
    'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
  echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
 }
?>

Hello,
Mail.php is server side pear, but you may download this and see the full class:
http://download.pear.php.net/package/Mail-1.1.13.tgz

More information: http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
