Step By Step Guide On How To Send Html Table In Email Body In PHP :-
HTML code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title> how to send html table in email body in php </title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/water.css@2/out/water.css"> </head> <body> <center> <h1 style = "color : rgb(113, 221, 113) ;"> TALKERSCODE </h1> <h3> how to send html table in email body in php </h3> </center> <form action="send-mail.php" method="post"> <label for="subject"> Email Subject </label> <input type="text" id="subject" name="subject"> <label for="body"> Email body </label> <textarea type="text" id="body" name="body" cols="60" rows="10"> </textarea> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit"/> </form> </body> </html>
- First, we write <! DOCTYPE html> to mention the version of HTML file
- Secondly, the <html> tag is used to indicate the beginning of an HTML document.
- Both <head> and <title> tags are Paired tags. So, both have </head> and </title> ending tags respectively.
- Attach an external CSS file using <link> tag for styling the form.
- Thirdly, the <body> tag is used to define the webpage body.
- <h1> tag used to add heading here and also adding the inline CSS here.
- Create an <form> of the action of the php file ‘send-mail.php’ with the method POST
- Create <label> and <input> for Email subject and email body
- Create a button for submit.
PHP Code:
<?php
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php' ;
require 'PHPMailer/Exception.php' ;
require 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php' ;
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$body = $_POST['body'] ;
$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer() ;
$body = file_get_contents('index.html') ;
$mail -> isSMTP() ;
$mail -> Host ='smtp.gmail.com' ;
$mail -> SMTPAuth = true ;
$mail -> SMTPKeepAlive = true ;
$mail -> Port = 25 ;
$mail -> Username = 'yourusernamehere@example.com' ;
$mail -> Password = 'yourpasswordhere' ;
$mail -> setFrom('test@example.com', 'test Manager') ;
$mail -> addReplyTo('test@example.com', 'test Manager') ;
$mail -> Subject = $subject ;
$mail -> Body = $body ;
$mail -> Subject = 'send html table in email body in php' ;
$mysql = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
mysqli_select_db($mysql, 'test') ;
$result = mysqli_query($mysql, 'SELECT fname, email FROM list WHERE email = FALSE') ;
foreach($result as row) {
try {
$mail -> addAddess($row['email'], $row['fname']) ;
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo 'invalid address' ;
continue ;
}
try {
$mail -> send() ;
echo 'Message sent';
mysqli_query (
$mysql,
"UPDATE list SET email = true WHERE email= '".mysqli_real_escape_string($mysql, $row['email'])."'"
) ;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Mailer Error' ;
$mail -> getSMTPInstance() ->reset() ;
}
$mail -> clearAddresses() ;
$mail -> clearAttachments();
}
?>
- Write <?php to write php function and close tag with ?>
- Use require to import phpmailer classes
- Require to include autoload.php folder.
- Create variables for $subject and $post with the super global variable $_POST
- Now using $mail object with the new PHPMailer.
- $body with file_get_contents() with the html file name
- $mail object with isSMTP() file.
- $mail object to add Host as host email, SMTPAuth as true, SMTPkeepAlive to true and Port 25
- Also Set your username and password
- Use function subject and body to the variable $subject and $body
- Now connect it to mysql database using mysqli_connect().
- Create a foreach loop with try and catch statement. Into the try statement set row as ‘email and ‘fullname’. Catch statement used echo to invalid address. Then use continue statement
- Now creating another try and catch statement. Using $mail function with send() function
- Reset() the connection with getSMTPInstance()
- Now clear address and attachments.
