Configuration
The available configuration options cann all be found inside Redspark/RsApplication/Config/Default/Mail.ini. The most useful setting to enable the mailing are as follows:
[Mail]
enabled = true;
log = false;
mailer_name = "RedSpark Framework";
mailer_address = "noreply@redsparkframework.de"
Usage
Sending an email is zend-like, but a bit easier:
<?php
/* Prepare mail */
$m = new Redspark_Mail();
$m->addTo('noreply@redsparkframework.de');
$m->setSubject('Mail Subject');
$m->setBodyText('Mail Body');
/* Send mail */
try {
$m->send();
} catch(Exception $e) {}
?>
Mail caching
The mail caching is done by an extra Mail_Transport agent. This is brought in place, every time the cache option is set to true. If you intend to send cached mails in your action, you have to disable the cache option inside the config an re-enable it afterwards.
<?php
/* Disable cache */
$cached = Broker::getConfig()->getSection('Mail')->get('cache',false);
$num_mails = 20;
$mails = $mailcache->popMails($num_mails);
/* Send all mails */
foreach($mails AS $mail) {
try {
$mail->send();
} catch(Exception $e) {}
}
/* Re-Enable cache */
Broker::getConfig()->getSection('Mail')->cache = $cached;
?>
