// 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 (SMTP) and receiving (POP3) email.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.MailMan')
$mailman = new COM("Chilkat.MailMan");

// Set the SMTP server.
$mailman->SmtpHost = 'smtp.my-tls-mail-server.com';

// Set the SMTP login/password (if required)

$mailman->SmtpPassword = 'MY_SMTP_PASSWORD';

// Connect to SMTP port 465 using TLS.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Email')

// To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

// Add some attachments.
// The AddFileAttachment method returns the value of the content-type it chose for the attachment.

// 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.
