Sending Email via PHP in CentOS 7 using Sendmail
|
||
============================================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you are running a **web server** or a **VPS**, you may encounter the need of sending emails using your **PHP** application.
|
||
|
||
In the same way, if you are running a **WordPress** blog or you are using any kind of **CMS** and you would allow your visitors to send you emails using a Contact form (for example using the **[Contact Form 7][3]** plugin for **WordPress**) you may need to install a simple program into your web server called **[sendmail][4]**.
|
||
|
||
> «Sendmail is a general purpose internetwork email routing facility that supports many kinds of mail-transfer and delivery methods, including the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) used for email transport over the Internet.» [via Wikipedia][5].
|
||
|
||
**Sendmail** can be simply installed using the package manager of your distribution.
|
||
|
||
Here are the instructions for installing **Sendmail** on **CentOS 7**.
|
||
|
||
### Installation
|
||
|
||
In order to install **sendmail** on your **CentOS 7** server, run the following command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# yum install sendmail
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Allowing your server to send emails
|
||
|
||
If you are using **SELinux** on your **CentOS 7** server, you have to allow **sendmail** to send emails using the following command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail=on
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Send a test email using PHP
|
||
|
||
Enter the php interactive shell using this command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
php -a
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
In the interactive shell, paste the following line of code:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
mail ('user@receiver.com', "Test email", "Test email from the Internet", null, "-f user@sender.com");
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Don’t forget to replace **user@receiver.com** with the receiver email address and **user@sender.com** with the sender email address.
|
||
|
||
### Viewing the sendmail log
|
||
|
||
In order to monitor the mail log, you can use this command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
tail /var/log/maillog
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
Once **sendmail** is installed on your web server you can allow your users to contact you via email using a contact form.
