<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
$mailman = new CkMailMan();

// Set the SMTP server.
$mailman->put_SmtpHost('smtp.chilkatsoft.com');

// Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
$mailman->put_SmtpUsername('myLogin');
$mailman->put_SmtpPassword('myPassword');

// Create a new email object
$email = new CkEmail();

// Load a .eml file into the email object.
$success = $email->LoadEml('/data/myEmail.eml');

// Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
// The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
// open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
// same connection.  
$success = $mailman->SendEmail($email);
if ($success != true) {
    print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
// the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
// call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
// Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
// not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
// for the example:
$success = $mailman->CloseSmtpConnection();
if ($success != true) {
    print 'Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.' . "\n";
}

print 'Mail Sent!' . "\n";
