Requirements

All in-data must be encoded with UTF-8.

Getting started

// Create a "server" in your "rack", then copy it's API key
$postmarkApiKey = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx';
    
// Create a message and send it
Postmark\Mail::compose($postmarkApiKey)
    ->from('john@smith.com', 'John Smith')
    ->addTo('jane@smith.com', 'Jane Smith')
    ->subject('Subject')
    ->messagePlain('Plaintext message')
    ->send();

Configuration

There are two ways of configuration.

Adapter

An adapter class should be used for a more dynamic configuration. The adapter must implement Postmark\MailAdapterInterface. These are the methods that must be implemented.

  • getApiKey - Should return the API key
  • setupDefaults(Postmark\Mail &$mail) - May be used to setup a default email, e.g. set From address.
  • log($logData) - Is called immediately after the email is sent. $logdata is an array with keys messageData, return, curlError and httpCode.

See Tests/Adapter.php for example usage.

Usage

Postmark\Mail::compose($postmarkApiKey)
	->from('address@example.com', 'Name')
	->addTo('address@example.com', 'Name')
	->subject('Subject')
	->messagePlain('Plaintext message')
	->send();

or:

$email = new Postmark\Mail($postmarkApiKey);
$email->from('address@example.com', 'Name')
	->addTo('address@example.com', 'Name')
	->subject('Subject')
	->messagePlain('Plaintext message')
	->send();

Error handling

See PHPDOC for details on Exceptions thrown. If no API key is set, an E_USER_ERROR will be raised.

Debugging

Call method debug(Postmark\Mail::DEBUG_VERBOSE) or debug(Postmark\Mail::DEBUG_RETURN) to enable debug mode. DEBUG_VERBOSE prints debug info and DEBUG_RETURN makes send() return debug info as an array.

Unit tests

Unit tests are located in Tests/. Simple test is the unit test framework being used.

Adapter.php runs all tests relevant for adapter configuration.

E-mail address validation

This class uses a regular expression to validate e-mail addresses, in addition to the validation Postmark does. This regex isn't perfect. If you need more extensive validation, please try http://www.dominicsayers.com/isemail/.
