Description

• Before you can use PHPMailer, you must download it and put the PHPMailer directory on your system.
• To automatically load all necessary PHPMailer classes, you can load the file named PHPMailerAutoload.php.
• To create a PHPMailer object, you can use the default constructor of the PHPMailer class.
• To configure the PHPMailer object, you can use its public properties and methods.
• To add recipients, you can call the addAddress() method one or more times.
• To send the email, you can call the send() method. If this method is successful, it returns TRUE. If this method encounters an error, it returns FALSE and sets an error message in the ErrorInfo property.
