Cakephp Simple Email Template

Steps

1. Install composer install

2. config/app.php to the following (password field PMed)

'EmailTransport' => [
        'default' => [
            'className' => 'Smtp',
            // The following keys are used in SMTP transports
            'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
            'port' => 465,
            'timeout' => 30,
            'username' => '[email protected]',
            'password' => '',
        ],
    ],

3. go into to the localhost, home page should be have an email address for you to enter, and enter your own email address, it should send you an email soon

How it works and what did I changed

1. Modelless Form When trying to get data from view without amodel, you will need a modelless form, in this case, emaill address will be passed through

In your project, you will need to create file call "Form" folder in src and make a form inside like mine (aka create a php code in /src/Form/EmailForm.php

2. Controller You do not need to create a sperate controller like me, but since I dont have any database/page to fall back on, I need a place to fallback on.

You can copy my Email function from /src/controller/emailingcontroller.php, and include this in the top

use App\Form\EmailForm;
use Cake\Mailer\Email;

Just have a look at the code, pretty easy to understand already

3. Templating, you most likely going to use some ctp templating, you can find it in /src/Template/Email/html. The random.ctp. Just like any ctp file.
