KEmail
======

Yii Application Component to interact with smtp servers without relying on PHP's mail or PEAR's Mail. Simply a wrapper for [http://www.phpclasses.org/package/14-PHP-Sends-e-mail-messages-via-SMTP-protocol.html](http://www.phpclasses.org/package/14-PHP-Sends-e-mail-messages-via-SMTP-protocol.html)

## To Install ##
1. Copy KEmail into approot/protected/extenstions

2. Under "import", add:

application.extensions.KEmail.KEmail

3. Under "components", add:

'email'=>array(
'class'=>'KEmail',
'host_name'=>'smtp_server', //Hostname or IP of smtp server
),

## Full Documentation ##

You can view the [full documentation](http://mrkmg.github.com/KEmail/class-KEmail.html) online or
you can checkout the docs branch and view it locally on your machine.

## Basic Usage ##

1. Single recipient
Yii::app()->email->send('[email protected]','[email protected]','Subject','Body');

2. Multiple recipients
$to = array(
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
);
Yii::app()->email->send('[email protected]',$to,'Subject','Body');

## Configuration ##

The following is an outline of all the avaible options, and their default options

host_name="localhost" Host name of smtp server
host_port=25 Port of smtp server
ssl=false Force SSL
http_proxy_host_name='' Set to enable using an http proxy to access smtp server
http_proxy_host_port=3128 Port of http proxy
socks_host_name='' Set to enable using a socks proxy
socks_host_port=1080 Port of socks proxy
socks_version='5' Version of socks proxy
start_tls=false Force `start_tls`
localhost='localhost' Given hostname of client
direct_delivery=false Skip smtp server and delevier directly to recipients smtp
timeout=10 Time in seconds to timeout for all smtp connections
data_timeout=0 Time in seconds to timeout for data transfer to SMTP server, if 0 uses timeout
debug=false Output Debug information to browser
html_debug=true Format Debug information as html
pop3_auth_host='' Set to authenticate to a pop3 server
user="" Username for smtp authentication
realm="" Realm for smtp authentication
password="" Password for smtp authentication
workstation="" Workstation for smtp authentication
authentication_mechanism="" Force a specific smtp authentication mechanism ('LOGIN','PLAIN','CRAM-MD5','NTLM')
enable_queue=false Enabled the queue
autocreate_db_table=true Check for and create if needed the queue table in the database
queue_table_name='kemail_queue' Name of the queue database table

## Advanced Usage ##

###You can also customize headers###

For example, to send an HTML email, do the following

$headers = array(
'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'
);
Yii::app()->email->send('[email protected]','[email protected]','Subject','SubjectBODY',$headers);

###Queue Support###

_In order to use the built in queue feature, you must have a database accessable via `Yii::app()->db;`_

To Enable to queue, set the following options

'email'=>array(
'class'=>'KEmail',
'host_name'=>'smtp_server', //Hostname or IP of smtp server
'enable_queue'=>true, //This enabled to queue
),

autocreate_db_table should be set to false once the table has been created.

To queue an email, do the following

$headers = array(
'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'
);
$priority = 2; //INT between 0 and 9. Higher the number, the sooner it will be sent.
Yii::app()->email->queue('[email protected]','[email protected]','Subject','SubjectBODY',$headers,$priority);

Then, maybe via a cron script or by random chance,

Yii::app()->email->processQueue(5); //Process 5 emails out of the queue
Yii::app()->email->processQueue(8,true) //Process 8 emails from the queue, and ignore priorities

## TODO/Upcoming Features ##

* Improve mail queue
* Allow for use of a variety of storage methods, flatfile, sqlite.
* Implement yiic access to process mail queue
* Ability to get total number of items in queue
* Error detection and reporting
