List of PHP email libraries

Posted June 1st, 2009 in PHP

I'm going to write a series about how to send and receive email using various different PHP email libraries to show the differences between them and what's required for each to work. This post is a list of PHP mail libraries that I know of and will be reviewing/writing code for over the coming weeks. If you know of any others you'd like me to look at please send me an email and I'll add them to the list.

PHP's mail() function
PHP's IMAP functions
Zend_Mail
PEAR Mail and Mail_Mime
Swift mailer (http://swiftmailer.org/)
PHPMailer (http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/)

I've already covered getting mail and extracting attachments using PHP's IMAP functions and will look at how to do this with those libraries that also receive mail, and will show how to send basic email, HTML email and attachments using the libraries that send mail.
