Php mail install

Installing PHP Mail (also known as PHPMailer) is a straightforward process. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Composer

Open your terminal or command prompt.
Install Composer (if you haven't already) by downloading and running the installer from getcomposer.org.
Create a new project directory and navigate to it in your terminal.
Run the following command to install PHP Mail:
```
composer require phpmailer/phpmailer
```
Once the installation is complete, you can require the PHP Mail autoloader in your PHP script:
```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```
Method 2: Manual Installation
Download the PHP Mail package from github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.
Extract the downloaded package to a directory in your project (e.g., phpmailer).

Create a new PHP file (e.g., mail.php) and add the following code:


<?php
require_once 'phpmailer/PHPMailer.php';
require_once 'phpmailer/SMTP.php';
require_once 'phpmailer/Exception.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer(); $mail->isSMTP(); $mail->Host = 'your-smtp-host'; $mail->Port = 587; $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->Username = 'your-smtp-username'; $mail->Password = 'your-smtp-password';

$mail->setFrom('your-email-address', 'Your Name'); $mail->addAddress('recipient-email-address');

$mail->Subject = 'Test Email'; $mail->Body = 'This is a test email';

if (!$mail->send()) { echo 'Error: '. $mail->ErrorInfo; } else { echo 'Email sent!'; }


Replace the placeholders with your own values (e.g., SMTP host, username, password, email address, and recipient email address).

**Configuring PHP Mail**

Before you can use PHP Mail, you need to configure it to use your email provider's SMTP settings. You can do this by modifying the `Host`, `Port`, `SMTPAuth`, `Username`, and `Password` properties in the PHP script.

Here are some common SMTP settings:

* Gmail: `Host` = `smtp.gmail.com`, `Port` = `587`, `SMTPAuth` = `true`, `Username` = `your-gmail-username`, `Password` = `your-gmail-password`
* Outlook: `Host` = `smtp.outlook.com`, `Port` = `587`, `SMTPAuth` = `true`, `Username` = `your-outlook-username`, `Password` = `your-outlook-password`

Make sure to replace these placeholders with your own values.

That's it! With PHP Mail installed and configured, you can now send emails from your PHP script.
