Sending email with Mandrill using PHP
mandrill, php
Solution
Instead of calling the sendTemplate() function I should have used
$mandrill->messages->send($message, $async=false, $ip_pool=null, $send_at=null);
Once I changed the function call the mail was sent.
Problem
I'm trying to send email using Mandrill and PHP and I can't get it to send. I've downloaded the PHP API wrapper from here:https://packagist.org/packages/mandrill/mandrill Mandrill.php is in my root and the Mandrill folder is in the same directory. Here's my code: ``` <?php require_once 'Mandrill.php'; $mandrill = new Mandrill('MY API KEY IS USUALLY HERE'); $message = array( 'subject' => 'Test message', 'from_email' => 'jwjody@yahoo.com', 'from_name' => 'Sender person', 'html' => '<p>this is a test message with Mandrill\'s PHP wrapper!.</p>', 'to' => array(array('email' => 'jwjody@yahoo.com', 'name' => 'Recipient 1')), 'merge_vars' => array(array( 'rcpt' => 'recipient1@domain.com', 'vars' => array( array( 'name' => 'FIRSTNAME', 'content' => 'Recipient 1 first name'), array( 'name' => 'LASTNAME', 'content' => 'Last name') )))); //print_r($mandrill->messages->sendTemplate($template_name, $template_content, $message)); echo ("hello"); ?> ``` But it won't send. I'm not sure where the failure is. Is it something obvious I'm missing? I see the issue now. I see what's going on now! I changed ``` $mandrill->messages->sendTemplate($template_name, $template_content, $message)); ``` to ``` $mandrill->messages->send($message, $async=false, $ip_pool=null, $send_at=null); ``` And it works!
