Amazon SES integration using PHP SDK

This is a sample way to integrate Amazon Simple Email Service. I have done this, by using PHP SDK provided by AWS.

Before that please ensure you have Amazon Web Service account.

Then get the Access Key and Secret Key from the IAM console which will be used to communicate with AWS.

Next step is, download AWS SDK for PHP from http://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-php/ and extract the downloaded file and add the PHP SDK library file to your project.

Include concerned SDK libraries in your project as shown below:



<?php

	require_once DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/aws/aws-autoloader.php';
	require_once DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/aws/Aws/Ses/SesClient.php';

	use \Aws\Ses\SesClient;

	function encodeRecipients($recipient){
		$recipientsCharset = 'utf-8';
		if (preg_match("/(.*)<(.*)>/", $recipient, $regs)) {
			$recipient = '=?' . $recipientsCharset . '?B?'.base64_encode($regs[1]).'?= <'.$regs[2].'>';
		}
		return $recipient;
	}

	//SET AWS ACCESSKEY AND SECRETKEY
	$awsSesAccessKey = '<ACCESSKEY>';
	$awsSesSecretKey = '<SECRETKEY>';

	$strSesFromName = '<FROM USER NAME>';
	$strSesFromEmail = '<FROM USER EMAIL>';

	$strToMailName = '<TO USER NAME>';
	$strToMail = '<TO USER EMAIL>'

	$strReplyToName = '<REPLYTO USER NAME>';
	$strReplyToMail = '<REPLYTO USER EMAIL>';

	$strBccName = '<Bcc USER NAME>';
	$strBccMail = '<Bcc USER EMAIL>';

	// Array of MAIL IDS to be added as Cc
	// Eg: $arrCCEmailIds = array('xyz@sample.com','abc@sample.com');
	$arrCCEmailIds = array();

	// Array of attachments
	/* Eg: $attachments = array(

If you have any queries on this add a comment to this post, so that I can help you to resolve the problems to integrate SES service.

Happy Emailing…
