I'm trying to send out a Plain/HTML multipart email out and I'm currently using PHP's mail() function. Many people have recommended PHPMailer so I thought I'd give it a go.
However, as everything seems to be nowadays, it appears very complicated. I downloaded it and it talks about installing it and configuring MySQL connections and SMTP connections!? All I want to do is use a nice class that will build the MIME emails for me and send them! I understand the SMTP possibilities but it all seems so complex!
Is there some way of simply just using it, for example, include a php file (no server installation or re-compiling PHP!) and then just using the class to build and send the email?
I'd be very grateful if someone could explain things simply! I'm sure it's possible and I can't believe after my hours of searching there's no really good, simple article about it online. Everything's TOO complicated when I know it doesn't need to be!
Try SwiftMailer instead.
