Email

Sprnva has a built in email helper function powered by PHPMailer.

In order to send mail from your local computer you need to configure your apache's php.ini. Uncomment the extension=php_openssl.dll and restart your apache.

Then configure your gmail account to act like our email server and turn on less secure apps access.

Configure smtp credentials on config.php

// EMAIL
'smtp_host' => '',
'smtp_username' => '',
'smtp_password' => '',
'smtp_auth' => true,
'smtp_auto_tls' => true,
'smtp_port' => 25

As for the smtp_host you can use smtp.gmail.com and for the smtp_username use your gmail account email address also your gmail account password as smtp_password and the smtp_port is best with 587.

Then the email helper function look like this:

sendMail($subject, $body, $recipients);

Where $subject is string, $body is text or html, $recipients string email of the recipient.

The sendMail() helper return an array with 2 values.

["message" => "Message has been sent"]
