Kohana Email provides a standardized email interface for sending emails (including attachments) in the Kohana 3.2+ framework. It also provides a Spam Assassin score based on the excellent SpamChecker provided by Postmark (available to non-customers as well). This module does not use switfmailer out of personal distaste.
- Build emails using the common Kohana object format
- Support for HTML and/or plain text emails
- Support for attachments (thanks Josip)
- Support for multiple transports
- Does not require swiftmailer
- PHP mail()
- Postmark (http://postmarkapp.com/)
Additional transports can be added by simply making a new file in /classes/email and extending Email_Transport.
- Copy Kohana Email to your modules directory (e.g. /modules/email)
- Add Kohana Email to your modules array in bootstrap.php
- Create a config file at /application/config/email.php and enter your details if necessary.
- You're ready to start sending emails!
$email = Email::compose('my_config_group')
->to('[email protected]')
->cc('[email protected]')
->cc('[email protected]')
->from('[email protected]')
->reply('[email protected]')
->subject('Welcome to My Site')
->body('Plain text welcome message')
->body(View::factory('emails/welcome'), 'html')
->attachment('files/report.pdf');
try {
$email->send();
} catch(Email_Exception) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}- to('[email protected]') *
- cc(array('Proper Name', '[email protected]')) *
- bcc('[email protected]') *
- from('[email protected]') *
- reply('[email protected]') *
- subject('My Subject Line')
- body('My body'[, type = 'html'])
- header('Message-ID', '[email protected]') *
- attachment('file/path.pdf')
- send()
- spam_score([verbose = false])
Notes
* This method can be called multiple times.
Email addresses can be in the form '[email protected]' or array('Proper Name', '[email protected]') and will be expanded to be "Proper Name [email protected]".
If a file attachment path does not begin with a slash, the Kohana DOCROOT is automatically prepended.
