|     How to send E-mail using PHP COM functions  
     What is COM 
    COM is a technology which allows the reuse of 
    code written in any language (by any language) using a standard calling convention 
    and hiding behind APIs the implementation details such as what machine the Component 
    is stored on and the executable which houses it. It can be thought of as a super 
    Remote Procedure Call (RPC) mechanism wi
    //     th some basic object roots. It separates
    //     
    implementation from interface ('PHP Manual') 
    The Script 
    Open you favorite text editor and put the following lines: 
    <?PHP 
    $objApp = new COM("Outlook.Application"); 
    $myItem = $objApp->CreateItem(olMailItem); 
    $a=$myItem->Recipients->Add("admin@purplerain.org"); 
    $myItem->Subject="This is a test"; 
    $myItem->Body="This is a Body Section now.....!"; 
    $myItem->Display(); 
    $myItem->Send(); 
    ?> 
    The explanation 
    $objApp = new COM("Outlook.Application"); 
    In the first line we create a instance of the COM object (in this case your 
    Outlook Application) 
    If you have installed MS Outlook, in your Windows registry exists a key named 
    Outlook.Application  
    Start Regedit.exe and explore the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT . There is your Com objects. 
     
     
    $myItem = $objApp->CreateItem(olMailItem); 
    Creates new MailItem (new Mail) 
    $a=$myItem->Recipients->Add("admin@purplerain.org"); 
    Adding the Recipient element of MailItem 
    This will be your recipient 
    $myItem->Subject="This 
    is a test"; 
    Adding Subject element 
    This will be your subject 
    $myItem->Body="This is 
    a Body Section now.....!"; 
    Adding the Body element of MailItem 
    This will be your message 
     
    $myItem->Display(); 
    If you want see your Outlook Mail dialog add this line in the script ,else just 
    comment it! 
    $myItem->Send(); 
    Send the message using your DEFAULT Outlook account.  |
