Mailgun-PHP

This is the Mailgun PHP SDK. This SDK contains methods for easily interacting with the Mailgun API. Below are examples to get you started. For additional examples, please see our official documentation at http://documentation.mailgun.com

Installation

To install the SDK, you will need to be using Composer in your project. If you aren't using Composer yet, it's really simple! Here's how to install composer and the Mailgun SDK.

# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

# Add Mailgun as a dependency
php composer.phar require mailgun/mailgun-php:~2.0

You do also need to choose what library to use when you are sending http messages. Consult the php-http/client-implementation virtual package to find adapters to use. For more information about virtual packages please refer to Httplug. Example:

php composer.phar require php-http/guzzle6-adapter:^1.0

When creating a new Mailgun object you must provide an instance of the HttpClient.

$client = new \Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client();
$mailgun = new \Mailgun\Mailgun('api_key', $client);

You could also rely on the auto discovery feature of Httplug. This means that we will try to find an installed client automatically.

For shared hosts without SSH access, check out our Shared Host Instructions.

Next, require Composer's autoloader, in your application, to automatically load the Mailgun SDK in your project:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Mailgun\Mailgun;

Usage

Here's how to send a message using the SDK:

# First, instantiate the SDK with your API credentials and define your domain. 
$mg = new Mailgun("key-example");
$domain = "example.com";

# Now, compose and send your message.
$mg->sendMessage($domain, array('from'    => '[email protected]', 
                                'to'      => '[email protected]', 
                                'subject' => 'The PHP SDK is awesome!', 
                                'text'    => 'It is so simple to send a message.'));

Or obtain the last 25 log items:

# First, instantiate the SDK with your API credentials and define your domain. 
$mg = new Mailgun("key-example");
$domain = "example.com";

# Now, issue a GET against the Logs endpoint.
$mg->get("$domain/log", array('limit' => 25, 
                              'skip'  => 0));

Response

The results, provided by the endpoint, are returned as an object, which you can traverse like an array.

Example:

$mg = new Mailgun("key-example");
$domain = "example.com";

$result = $mg->get("$domain/log", array('limit' => 25, 
                                        'skip'  => 0));

$httpResponseCode = $result->http_response_code;
$httpResponseBody = $result->http_response_body;

# Iterate through the results and echo the message IDs.
$logItems = $result->http_response_body->items;
foreach($logItems as $logItem){
    echo $logItem->message_id . "\n";
}

Example Contents:
$httpResponseCode will contain an integer. You can find how we use HTTP response codes in our documentation: http://documentation.mailgun.com/api-intro.html?highlight=401#errors

$httpResponseBody will contain an object of the API response. In the above example, a var_dump($result) would contain the following:

object(stdClass)#26 (2) {
["http_response_body"]=>
  object(stdClass)#26 (2) {
    ["total_count"]=>
    int(12)
    ["items"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      object(stdClass)#31 (5) {
        ["hap"]=>
        string(9) "delivered"
        ["created_at"]=>
        string(29) "Tue, 20 Aug 2013 20:24:34 GMT"
        ["message"]=>
        string(66) "Delivered: [email protected] → [email protected] 'Hello'"
        ["type"]=>
        string(4) "info"
        ["message_id"]=>
        string(46) "[email protected]"
      }
    }
  }
}

Debugging

Debugging the PHP SDK can be really helpful when things aren't working quite right. To debug the SDK, here are some suggestions:

Set the endpoint to Mailgun's Postbin. A Postbin is a web service that allows you to post data, which is then displayed through a browser. This allows you to quickly determine what is actually being transmitted to Mailgun's API.

Step 1 - Create a new Postbin.
Go to http://bin.mailgun.net. The Postbin will generate a special URL. Save that URL.

Step 2 - Instantiate the Mailgun client using Postbin.

Tip: The bin id will be the URL part after bin.mailgun.net. It will be random generated letters and numbers. For example, the bin id in this URL, http://bin.mailgun.net/aecf68de, is "aecf68de".

# First, instantiate the SDK with your API credentials and define your domain. 
$mg = new Mailgun('key-example', null, 'bin.mailgun.net');
$mg->setApiVersion('aecf68de');
$mg->setSslEnabled(false);
$domain = 'example.com';

# Now, compose and send your message.
$mg->sendMessage($domain, array('from'    => '[email protected]', 
                                'to'      => '[email protected]', 
                                'subject' => 'The PHP SDK is awesome!', 
                                'text'    => 'It is so simple to send a message.'));

Additional Info

For usage examples on each API endpoint, head over to our official documentation pages.

This SDK includes a Message Builder, Batch Message and Opt-In Handler component.

Message Builder allows you to quickly create the array of parameters, required to send a message, by calling a methods for each parameter. Batch Message is an extension of Message Builder, and allows you to easily send a batch message job within a few seconds. The complexity of batch messaging is eliminated!

Framework integration

If you are using a framework you might consider these composer packages to make the framework integration easier.

• tehplague/swiftmailer-mailgun-bundle for Symfony2
• Bogardo/Mailgun for Laravel 4
• katanyoo/yii2-mailgun-mailer for Yii2
