How can PHP scripts be combined to send emails from a standalone mail server?
To send emails from a standalone mail server using PHP scripts, you can use the `PHPMailer` library. This library provides a simple and effective way to send emails through an external mail server. You will need to configure the `SMTP` settings of your standalone mail server in the PHP script to send emails successfully.
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Include PHPMailer autoload file
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try {
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'your_standalone_mail_server_host';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'your_username';
$mail->Password = 'your_password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS;
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->setFrom('your_email@example.com', 'Your Name');
$mail->addAddress('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name');
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = 'Subject';
$mail->Body = 'Email body';
$mail->send();
echo 'Email sent successfully';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
