How to set up sending emails using PHPMailer_PHP Tutorial

PHPMailer is a powerful email sending class written in PHP. It can be used to send emails more conveniently, and can also send attachments and emails in HTML format. It can also use an SMTP server to send emails.

You may ask, doesn’t PHP already have a built-in mail() function? Why use PHPMailer? The mail() function is not perfect and can only send text e-mails, and the mail() function can only be applied to Linux servers (this is also the reason why many WP blog users installed on Win hosts cannot receive emails after registration). One of the biggest problems is that emails sent using the mail() function are not authenticated. Many emails cannot be received using the mail() function or the emails sent directly go to the spam mailbox.
