PHP based 'sendmail' dummy for writing emails to a directory for testing.
- Predictable and configurable file-naming
- Configurable output directory and file extension
Dependencies must be downloaded and installed with composer - to do so:
composer installThis depends on how composer is installed, if that fails please ensure composer is installed and review composer's documentation at: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
To create an executable PHAR archive, run composer run build first. This creates the file php-dummy-sendmail.phar.
Once created, move it to /usr/local/bin (or somewhere in your path) and configure the sendmail setting in PHP to use
the file.
mv php-dummy-sendmail.phar /usr/local/bin/php-sendmailTo run directly without creating a phar archive, use the sendmail file.
php sendmailIn Windows php-dummy-sendmail can be run with:
php sendmail
Change the sendmail configuration in php.ini:
sendmail = /usr/local/bin/php-sendmail --directory /path/to/output-dir
php-sendmail [--directory[="..."]] [--timestamp[="..."]] [--increment-file[="..."]] [--input-file[="..."]] [--file-extension[="..."]] [--print] [to]
Example: php-sendmail user@example.com --directory /path/to/output/dir --timestamp "Y-m-d H:i:s:u" --file-extension txt
php-sendmail reads from STDIN by default, so the above example run on the command line would block.
--directory - specifies the default directory to read/write to (useful if not the current dir)
--timestamp - PHP date() timestamp format (with 'u' support), used to format the output file name (default 'Y-m-d H:i:s:u')
--increment-file - Specifies a file to save an index number for auto-increment functionality. File names are numbered with this option set.
--file-extension - Sets the file extension to use for saved files.
--input-file - Specify an input file (useful for debugging)
--print - Simply prints the output
