PHPMailer support

This guide explains how to use PHPMailer with our Web hostings.

PHPmailer

PHPMailer is a library which allows emails to be sent from a website in HTML format. This particularly allows the management of attachments, and supports SMTP authentication and the multipart/alternative for clients who can not read emails in HTML.

Using PHPmailer

To use PHPmailer, it must be installed manually:

download the PHPmailer library: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
copy files to a directory on your website via FTP (to find out more)
create a link between your script and PHPmailer. For example:
require_once('chemin_a_modifier/class.phpmailer.php');

In the event of an issue with PHPMailer and PHP 5.6, the following option will need to be added in the PHPMailer class parameters:

$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
