How to integrate Aritic Mail with Symfony?

  Integrate Frameworks with Aritic Mail

Symfony

Symfony uses SwiftMailer to send email, read more about sending emails from Symfony.

To get started you need to modify parameters.yml and add the following:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
mailer:
class: sfMailer
param:
logging: %SF_LOGGING_ENABLED%
charset: %SF_CHARSET%
delivery_strategy: realtime
transport:
class: Swift_SmtpTransport
param:
host: mail.ariticmail.com
port: 25
encryption: ~
username: ariticmailusername
password: ariticmailpassword

After that you should be able to send emails. The following shows an example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
<?php
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
  ->setFrom('from@example.com')
  ->setTo('to@example.com')
  ->setSubject('Subject')
  ->setBody('Body');

$this->getMailer()->send($message);
?>

Another Option

If you want more flexibility, you can use partials to define the content of the emails. Add the a class such as lib/myEmail.class.php.

        }

        try {
            /*
             * Load connection for mailer
             */
            $connection = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('mail.ariticmail.com', 25, 'ssl')->setUsername(sfconfig::get('app_ariticmailid_username'))->setPassword(sfconfig::get('app_ariticmailid_password'));

            }

            // update the from address line to include an actual name
            if (is_array($mailFrom) and count($mailFrom) == 2) {
                $mailFrom = array(

            throw new sfException('Error sending email out - ' . $e->getMessage());
        }

}
?>

Then configure your credentials on apps/frontend/app.yml

prod:
ariticmailid:
username: ariticmailusername
password: ariticmailpassword

Now can put your partials in a module such as apps/frontend/modules/mail. For example, to send a registration email in both text and HTML, we would have the following structure

1
2
3
4
5
6
apps/
frontend/
modules/
mail/
_registrationHTML.php
_registrationTEXT.php

Add this to apps/frontend/modules/mail/_registrationTEXT.php

Dear <!--?php echo $name ?-->,
Thank you for registering. Please go to http://domain.com to finish your registration.

Add this to apps/frontend/modules/mail/_registrationHTML.php

1
2
Dear <!--?php echo $name ?-->,
Thank you for registering. Please go to <a href="http://domain.com">here</a> to finish your registration.

And send the message as follow:

<?php
myEmail::sendEmail(array('text'=>'mail/registrationTEXT', 'html'=>'mail/registrationHTML'), array('name'=>'Recipient Name'), 'youremail@domain.com', 'recipient@example.com', 'Registration Information');
?>
