Getting started

<?php

// Well, yeah..
require('Postmark.php');

// Create a "server" in your "rack", then copy it's API key
define('POSTMARKAPP_API_KEY', 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx');

// Create a "Sender signature", then use the "From Email" here.
// POSTMARKAPP_MAIL_FROM_NAME is optional, and can be overridden
// with Mail_Postmark::fromName()
define('POSTMARKAPP_MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', 'user@example.com');
define('POSTMARKAPP_MAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Example');

// Create a message and send it
Mail_Postmark::compose()
	->addTo('jane@smith.com', 'Jane Smith')
	->subject('Subject')
	->messagePlain('Plaintext message')
	->send();

Configuration

There are two ways of configuration.

Adapter

An adapter class should be used for a more dynamic configuration. The adapter must implement Mail_Postmark_Adapter_Interface. These are the methods that must be implemented.

• getApiKey - Should return the API key
• setupDefaults(Mail_Postmark &$mail) - May be used to setup a default email, e.g. set From address.
• log($logData) - Is called immediately after the email is sent. $logdata is an array with keys messageData, return, curlError and httpCode.

See Tests/Adapter.php for example usage.

Constants

Constants for configuration are:

• POSTMARKAPP_API_KEY
• POSTMARKAPP_MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS
• POSTMARKAPP_MAIL_FROM_NAME [optional]

POSTMARKAPP_MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS may be omitted, if method from() is called.

Usage

Mail_Postmark::compose()
	->addTo('address@example.com', 'Name')
	->subject('Subject')
	->messagePlain('Plaintext message')
	->send();

or:

$email = new Mail_Postmark();
$email->addTo('address@example.com', 'Name')
	->subject('Subject')
	->messagePlain('Plaintext message')
	->send();

Error handling

See PHPDOC for details on Exceptions thrown. If no API key is set, an E_USER_ERROR will be raised.

Debugging

Call method debug(Mail_Postmark::DEBUG_VERBOSE) or debug(Mail_Postmark::DEBUG_RETURN) to enable debug mode. DEBUG_VERBOSE prints debug info and DEBUG_RETURN makes send() return debug info as an array.

Unit tests

Unit tests are located in Tests/. Simple test is the unit test framework being used.

Adapter.php runs all tests relevant for adapter configuration, Constants.php runs relevant tests for constant configration.

E-mail address validation

This class uses a regular expression to validate e-mail addresses, in addition to the validation Postmark does. This regex isn't perfect. If you need more extensive validation, please try http://www.dominicsayers.com/isemail/.
