What are the mandatory files for PHPMailer?

While I was finding a way to send a mail with PHP, I found the default mail() function in PHP, the Pear, and PHPMailer.

I was told that mail() function has many limitations, so I read a tutorial of Pear but I found that it needs installation. (My host service restricts library installation)

The last one, PHPMailer seems consist of php files and some documents.

So I would like to know that it does not need installation, just copy.

So I ask you that if I just copy some php files of the PHPMailer to use it.

If so, can I know some mandatory files to be copied? I want to keep minimal number of files in my small account.

Thanks in advance.

Download PHPMailer, and the only file you need is class.phpmailer.php.

Include it with:

require_once('class.phpmailer.php');

and then follow the example code to send your mail. That's all you need to get started :)

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]');
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "Testing PHPMailer.";

if(!$mail->Send()) echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
else echo "Message sent!"
