Sending Email (SMTP mail)

We will go through an example of sending an Email by PHPoC Blue or Black.

There are two popular protocols to send Email: SMTP and ESMTP. PHPoC supports libraries for both prototol. Your mail server might use one of them. For example, Gmail uses ESMTP protocol. Therefore, to send email from a Gmail account, it needs to use ESMTP library.

This example shows how to send email using SMTP protocol.For sending email using ESMTP protocol, refer to Sending email (ESMTP).


Hardware

• PHPoC Blue (+ USB WLAN) or PHPoC Black (+ Ethernet cable)
• Micro USB to USB Cable (to upload source code to PHPoC Device)

Quick Steps

Source code of this example is a part of PHPoC Support Packet (PSP). You need to:

• Download PHPoC Support Package.
• Upload example\net\01.php_task\email to PHPoC Blue/Black.
• Modify the e-mail address and name in task0.php
• Save the modified file.
• Configure network parameters (e.g. WiFi SSID, password, IP address ...).

If you use PHPoC for the first time, see How To Use PSP.


Source Code

Source files includes:

• init.php: this file is run when PHPoC system is powered or reset. It is used to specify which file is run is system loop.
• task0.php: this file is run in system loop of PHPoC devices.

init.php

This file is run when PHPoC system is powered or reset. It is used to specify that task0.php is run is system loop.

<?php

system("php task0.php");

?>

//smtp_setup(udp_id, tcp_id, "x.x.x.x");
//smtp_hostname("from_domain.com");
//smtp_account("[email protected]_domain.com", "from_name");

$subject = "email test from PHPoC";
$message = "This is PHPoC test email\r\nGood bye\r\n";

$msg = smtp_send("[email protected]_domain.com", "to_name", $subject, $message);
