Swift Mailer: A feature-rich PHP Mailer

Swift Mailer is a component based library for sending e-mails from PHP applications.

Swift Mailer will stop being maintained at the end of November 2021.

Please, move to Symfony Mailer at your earliest convenience. Symfony Mailer is the next evolution of Swift Mailer. It provides the same features with support for modern PHP code and support for third-party providers.

System Requirements

Swift Mailer supports PHP 7.0 to PHP 8.1 included (proc_* functions must be available).

Swift Mailer does not work when used with function overloading as implemented by mbstring when mbstring.func_overload is set to 2.

Installation

The recommended way to install Swiftmailer is via Composer:

1
$ composer require "swiftmailer/swiftmailer:^6.0"

// Create the Transport
$transport = (new Swift_SmtpTransport('smtp.example.org', 25))
  ->setUsername('your username')
  ->setPassword('your password')
;

// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = new Swift_Mailer($transport);

// Create a message
$message = (new Swift_Message('Wonderful Subject'))
  ->setFrom(['john@doe.com' => 'John Doe'])
  ->setTo(['receiver@domain.org', 'other@domain.org' => 'A name'])
  ->setBody('Here is the message itself')
  ;

// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);
