## Examples using phpmailer

### 1. Advanced Example

This demonstrates sending out multiple email messages with binary attachments from a MySQL database with multipart/alternative support.

    require("class.phpmailer.php");

    $mail = new phpmailer();

    $mail->From     = "list@example.com";
    $mail->FromName = "List manager";
    $mail->Host     = "smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com";
    $mail->Mailer   = "smtp";

    @MYSQL_CONNECT("localhost","root","password");
    @mysql_select_db("my_company");
    $query  = "SELECT full_name, email, photo FROM employee WHERE id=$id";
    $result = @MYSQL_QUERY($query);

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result))
    {

        $body  = "Hello <font size=\"4\">" . $row["full_name"] . "</font>, <p>";
        $body .= "<i>Your</i> personal photograph to this message.<p>";
        $body .= "Sincerely, <br>";
        $body .= "phpmailer List manager";

        $text_body  = "Hello " . $row["full_name"] . ", \n\n";
        $text_body .= "Your personal photograph to this message.\n\n";
        $text_body .= "Sincerely, \n";
        $text_body .= "phpmailer List manager";

        $mail->Body    = $body;
        $mail->AltBody = $text_body;
        $mail->AddAddress($row["email"], $row["full_name"]);
        $mail->AddStringAttachment($row["photo"], "YourPhoto.jpg");

        if(!$mail->Send())
            echo "There has been a mail error sending to " . $row["email"] . "<br>";

        $mail->ClearAddresses();
        $mail->ClearAttachments();
    }

### 2. Extending phpmailer

Extending classes with inheritance is one of the most powerful features of object-oriented programming. It allows you to make changes to the original class for your own personal use without hacking the original classes. Plus, it is very easy to do. I've provided an example:

Here's a class that extends the phpmailer class and sets the defaults for the particular site:
PHP include file: mail.inc.php

    require("class.phpmailer.php");

    class my_phpmailer extends phpmailer {

        var $From     = "from@example.com";
        var $FromName = "Mailer";
        var $Host     = "smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com";
        var $Mailer   = "smtp";
        var $WordWrap = 75;

        function error_handler($msg) {
            print("My Site Error");
            print("Description:");
            printf("%s", $msg);
            exit;
        }

        function do_something($something) {

        }
    }

Now here's a normal PHP page in the site, which will have all the defaults set above:
Normal PHP file: mail_test.php

    require("mail.inc.php");

    $mail = new my_phpmailer;

    $mail->AddAddress("josh@example.com", "Josh Adams");
    $mail->Subject = "Here is the subject";
    $mail->Body    = "This is the message body";
    $mail->AddAttachment("c:/temp/11-10-00.zip", "new_name.zip");

    if(!$mail->Send())
    {
       echo "There was an error sending the message";
       exit;
    }

    echo "Message was sent successfully";
