i am trying to use phpMailer to send confirmation messages to users via email. my code is this:
$SMTP_USERNAME = SMTP_USERNAME;
$SMTP_PASSWORD = SMTP_PASSWORD;
$SMTP_HOST = SMTP_HOST;
$SMTP_STATUS = SMTP_STATUS;
if($SMTP_STATUS==1)
{
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/modules/SMTP/smtp.php"); //mail send thru smtp
}
else
{
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: '.$from.'' . "
";
$headers .= 'Bcc: '.$to.'' . "
";
mail($from,$subject,$message,$headers);
}
