Docs For Class GMailer

Methods

Constructor GMailer [line 248]

GMailer GMailer(
)

Constructor of GMailer

During the creation of GMailer object, it will perform several tests to see if the cURL extension is available or not. However, note that the constructor will NOT return false or null even if these tests are failed. You will have to check the class property GMailer::$created to see if the object "created" is really, uh, created (i.e. working), and property GMailer::$return_status or method GMailer::lastActionStatus() to see what was going wrong.

Example:

 <?php
    $gmailer = new GMailer();
    if (!$gmailer->created) {
       echo "Error message: ".$gmailer->lastActionStatus("message");
    } else {
       // Do something with $gmailer
    }
 ?>

A typical usage og GMailer object would be like this:

 <?php
    require_once("libgmailer.php");
 
    $gmailer = new GMailer();
    if ($gmailer->created) {
       $gmailer->setLoginInfo($gmail_acc, $gmail_pwd, $my_timezone);
       $gmailer->setProxy("proxy.company.com");
       if ($gmailer->connect()) {
          // GMailer connected to Gmail successfully.
// Do something with it.
       
       } else {
          die("Fail to connect because: ".$gmailer->lastActionStatus());
       }
    } else {
       die("Failed to create GMailer because: ".$gmailer->lastActionStatus());
    }
 ?>
