php-aws-ses: A PHP repository from boussou

Amazon Simple Email Service provides a simple way to send e-mails without having to maintain your own mail server. Those PHP classes use the REST-based interface to that service.

This repository is a fork from version 0.8.2 of the original classes developed by Dan Myers Read the old docs here

Installation

Install the latest version with

composer require daniel-zahariev/php-aws-ses

Basic Usage

<?php
	
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$m = new SimpleEmailServiceMessage();
$m->addTo('recipient@example.com');
$m->setFrom('user@example.com');
$m->setSubject('Hello, world!');
$m->setMessageFromString('This is the message body.');

$ses = new SimpleEmailService('AccessKey', 'SecretKey')
print_r($ses->sendEmail($m));

// Successful response should print something similar to:
//Array(
//     [MessageId] => 0000012dc5e4b4c0-b2c566ad-dcd0-4d23-bea5-f40da774033c-000000
//     [RequestId] => 4953a96e-29d4-11e0-8907-21df9ed6ffe3
//)

Recipients

<?php

$m = new SimpleEmailServiceMessage();
// Add many Recipients
$m->addTo(array('dwight@example.com', 'angela@example.com'));

// You can either add one by one or pass an array to 'To' and 'CC'
$m->addCC('holly@example.com');
$m->addCC(array('kelly@example.com', 'ryan@example.com'));

// And 'BCC' and 'Reply-To' as well
$m->addBCC('michael@example.com');
$m->addBCC(array('kevin@example.com', 'oscar@example.com'));
$m->addReplyTo('andy@example.com');
$m->addReplyTo(array('stanley@example.com', 'erin@example.com'));


// Also add names to any of the Recipients lists
$m->addTo('Jim Carrey <jim@example.com>');

Message body

<?php

// Additionally you can set the content of the email via:
$m->setMessageFromFile('/path/to/some/file.txt');
$m->setMessageFromURL('http://example.com/somefile.txt');

// And have both Text and HTML version with:
$m->setMessageFromString($text, $html);
$m->setMessageFromFile($textfilepath, $htmlfilepath);
$m->setMessageFromURL($texturl, $htmlurl);

// Remember that setMessageFromString, setMessageFromFile, and setMessageFromURL are mutually exclusive. 
// If you call more than one, then whichever call you make last will be the message used.

// You can also set the encoding of the Subject and the Message Body
$m->setSubjectCharset('ISO-8859-1');
$m->setMessageCharset('ISO-8859-1');

The default is UTF-8 if you do not specify a charset, which is usually the right setting. You can read more information in the SES API documentation

Attachments

<?php

$m->addAttachmentFromData('my_text_file.txt', 'Simple content', 'text/plain');
$m->addAttachmentFromFile('my_PFD_file.pdf', '/path/to/pdf/file', 'application/pdf');

// SendRawEmail is explicitly used when there are attachments:
$ses->sendEmail($m);
// Sending raw email can be enforsed with:
$ses->sendEmail($m, $use_raw_request = true);

// Now you can add an inline file in the message
$m->addAttachmentFromFile('logo.png','path/to/logo.png','application/octet-stream', '<logo.png>' , 'inline');
// and use it in the html version of the e-mail: <img src='cid:logo.png' />

API Endpoints

Few Regions and Amazon SES endpoints are available and they can be used like this:

<?php
$region_endpoint = SimpleEmailService::AWS_US_EAST_1;
$ses = new SimpleEmailService('AccessKey', 'SecretKey', $region_endpoint);

Helper Methods

<?php
// Get the addresses that have been verified in your AWS SES account
$ses->listVerifiedEmailAddresses();
// Delete a verified address
$ses->deleteVerifiedEmailAddress('user@example.com');
// Send a confirmation email in order to verify a new email
$ses->verifyEmailAddress('user@example.com');

// Get Send Quota
$ses->getSendQuota();
// Get Send Statistics
$ses->getSendStatistics()

See the documentation on GetSendQuota and GetSendStatistics for more information on these calls.

Errors

By default when Amazon SES API returns an error it will be triggered with trigger_error:

<?php
// Set the default behaviour for handling errors
$trigger_error = true;
$ses = new SimpleEmailService('AccessKey', 'SecretKey', $region_endpoint, $trigger_error);

// Or overwrite the main setting on a single call
$use_raw_request = false;
$trigger_error = false;
$ses->sendEmail($m, $use_raw_request, $trigger_error);
