PHPMailer Change Log

  • Don't make max line length depend on line break format
  • Match SendGrid transaction IDs
  • idnSupported() now static, as previously documented

Version 6.0.1 (September 14th 2017)

  • Use shorter Message-ID headers (with more entropy) to avoid iCloud blackhole bug
  • Switch to Symfony code style (though it's not well defined)
  • CI builds now apply syntax & code style checks, so make your PRs tidy!
  • CI code coverage only applied on latest version of PHP to speed up builds (thanks to @Slamdunk for these CI changes)
  • Remove composer.lock - it's important that libraries break early; keeping it is for apps
  • Rename test scripts to PSR-4 spec
  • Make content-id values settable on attachments, not just embedded items
  • Add SMTP transaction IDs to callbacks & allow for future expansion
  • Expand test coverage

Version 6.0 (August 28th 2017)

This is a major update that breaks backwards compatibility.

  • Requires PHP 5.5 or later
  • Uses the PHPMailer\PHPMailer namespace
  • File structure simplified and PSR-4 compatible, classes live in the src/ folder
  • The custom autoloader has been removed: use composer!
  • Classes & Exceptions renamed to make use of the namespace
  • Most statically called functions now use the static keyword instead of self, so it's possible to override static internal functions in subclasses, for example validateAddress()
  • Complete RFC standardisation on CRLF (\r\n) line breaks for SMTP by default:
    • PHPMailer:$LE defaults to CRLF
    • All uses of PHPMailer::$LE property converted to use static::$LE constant for consistency and ease of overriding
    • Similar changes to line break handling in SMTP and POP3 classes.
    • Line break format for mail() transport is set automatically.
    • Warnings emitted for buggy mail() in PHP versions 7.0.0 - 7.0.16 and 7.1.0 - 7.1.2; either upgrade or switch to SMTP.
  • Extensive reworking of XOAUTH2, adding support for Google, Yahoo and Microsoft providers, thanks to @sherryl4george
  • Major cleanup of docs and examples
  • All elements previously marked as deprecated have been removed:
    • PHPMailer->Version (replaced with VERSION constant)
    • PHPMailer->ReturnPath
    • PHPMailer->PluginDir
    • PHPMailer->encodeQPphp()
    • SMTP->CRLF (replaced with LE constant)
    • SMTP->Version (replaced with VERSION constant)
    • SMTP->SMTP_PORT (replaced with DEFAULT_PORT constant)
    • POP3->CRLF (replaced with LE constant)
    • POP3->Version (replaced with VERSION constant)
    • POP3->POP3_PORT (replaced with DEFAULT_PORT constant)
    • POP3->POP3_TIMEOUT (replaced with DEFAULT_TIMEOUT constant)
  • NTLM authentication has been removed - it never worked anyway!
    • PHPMailer->Workstation
    • PHPMailer->Realm
  • SingleTo functionality is deprecated; this belongs at a higher level - PHPMailer is not a mailing list system.
  • SMTP::authenticate method signature changed
  • parseAddresses() is now static
  • validateAddress() is now called statically from parseAddresses()
  • idnSupported() is now static and is called statically from punyencodeAddress()
  • PHPMailer->SingleToArray is now protected
  • fixEOL() method removed - it duplicates PHPMailer::normalizeBreaks(), so use that instead
  • Don't try to use an auth mechanism if it's not supported by the server
  • Reorder automatic AUTH mechanism selector to try most secure method first
  • Extras classes have been removed - use alternative packages from packagist.org instead
  • Better handling of automatic transfer encoding switch in the presence of long lines
  • Simplification of address validation - now uses PHP's FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL pattern by default, retains advanced options
  • Debugoutput can accept a PSR-3 logger instance
  • To reduce code footprint, the examples folder is no longer included in composer deployments or github zip files
  • Trap low-level errors in SMTP, reports via debug output
  • More reliable folding of message headers
  • Inject your own SMTP implementation via setSMTPInstance() instead of having to subclass and override getSMTPInstance().
  • Make obtaining SMTP transaction ID more reliable
  • Better handling of unreliable PHP timeouts
  • Made SMTPDebug = 4 slightly less noisy

Version 5.2.25 (August 28th 2017)

  • Make obtaining SMTP transaction ID more reliable
  • Add Bosnian translation
  • This is the last official release in the legacy PHPMailer 5.2 series; there may be future security patches (which will be found in the 5.2-stable branch), but no further non-security PRs or issues will be accepted. Migrate to PHPMailer 6.0.

Version 5.2.24 (July 26th 2017)

  • SECURITY Fix XSS vulnerability in one of the code examples, CVE-2017-11503. The code_generator.phps example did not filter user input prior to output. This file is distributed with a .phps extension, so it it not normally executable unless it is explicitly renamed, so it is safe by default. There was also an undisclosed potential XSS vulnerability in the default exception handler (unused by default). Patches for both issues kindly provided by Patrick Monnerat of the Fedora Project.
  • Handle bare codes (an RFC contravention) in SMTP server responses
  • Make message timestamps more dynamic - calculate the date separately for each message
  • More thorough checks for reading attachments.
  • Throw an exception when trying to send a message with an empty body caused by an internal error.
  • Replaced all use of MD5 and SHA1 hash functions with SHA256.
  • Now checks for invalid host strings when sending via SMTP.
  • Include timestamps in HTML-format debug output
  • Improve Turkish, Norwegian, Serbian, Brazilian Portuguese & simplified Chinese translations
  • Correction of Serbian ISO language code from sr to rs
  • Fix matching of multiple entries in Host to match IPv6 literals without breaking port selection (see #1094, caused by a3b4f6b)
  • Better capture and reporting of SMTP connection errors

Version 5.2.23 (March 15th 2017)

  • Improve trapping of TLS errors during connection so that they don't cause warnings, and are reported better in debug output
  • Amend test suite so it uses PHPUnit version 4.8, compatible with older versions of PHP, instead of the version supplied by Travis-CI
  • This forces pinning of some dev packages to older releases, but should make travis builds more reliable
  • Test suite now runs on HHVM, and thus so should PHPMailer in general
  • Improve Czech translations
  • Add links to CVE-2017-5223 resources

Version 5.2.22 (January 5th 2017)

  • SECURITY Fix CVE-2017-5223, local file disclosure vulnerability if content passed to msgHTML() is sourced from unfiltered user input. Reported by Yongxiang Li of Asiasecurity. The fix for this means that calls to msgHTML() without a $basedir will not import images with relative URLs, and relative URLs containing .. will be ignored.
  • Add simple contact form example
  • Emoji in test content

Version 5.2.21 (December 28th 2016)

  • Fix missed number update in version file - no functional changes

Version 5.2.20 (December 28th 2016)

  • SECURITY Critical security update for CVE-2016-10045 please update now! Thanks to Dawid Golunski and Paul Buonopane (@Zenexer).

Version 5.0.1 (April 05, 2009)

  • Temporary fix for missing attachments

Version 5.0.0 (April 02, 2009)

With the release of this version, we are initiating a new version numbering system to differentiate from the PHP4 version of PHPMailer. Most notable in this release is fully object oriented code.

class.smtp.php:

  • Refactored class.smtp.php to support new exception handling
  • code size reduced from 29.2 Kb to 25.6 Kb
  • Removed unnecessary functions from class.smtp.php:
    • public function Expand($name) {
    • public function Help($keyword="") {
    • public function Noop() {
    • public function Send($from) {
    • public function SendOrMail($from) {
    • public function Verify($name) {

class.phpmailer.php:

  • Refactored class.phpmailer.php with new exception handling
  • Changed processing functionality of Sendmail and Qmail so they cannot be inadvertently used
  • removed getFile() function, just became a simple wrapper for file_get_contents()
  • added check for PHP version (will gracefully exit if not at least PHP 5.0)
  • enhanced code to check if an attachment source is the same as an embedded or inline graphic source to eliminate duplicate attachments

New /test_script

We have written a test script you can use to test the script as part of your installation. Once you press submit, the test script will send a multi-mime email with either the message you type in or an HTML email with an inline graphic. Two attachments are included in the email (one of the attachments is also the inline graphic so you can see that only one copy of the graphic is sent in the email). The test script will also display the functional script that you can copy/paste to your editor to duplicate the functionality.

New examples

All new examples in both basic and advanced modes. Advanced examples show Exception handling.

PHPDocumentator (phpdocs) documentation for PHPMailer version 5.0.0

All new documentation

Version 2.3 (November 06, 2008)

  • added Arabic language (many thanks to Bahjat Al Mostafa)
  • removed English language from language files and made it a default within class.phpmailer.php - if no language is found, it will default to use the english language translation
  • fixed public/private declarations
  • corrected line 1728, $basedir to $directory
  • added $sign_cert_file to avoid improper duplicate use of $sign_key_file
  • corrected $this->Hello on line 612 to $this->Helo
  • changed default of $LE to "\r\n" to comply with RFC 2822. Can be set by the user if default is not acceptable
  • removed trim() from return results in EncodeQP
  • /test and three files it contained are removed from version 2.3
  • fixed phpunit.php for compliance with PHP5
  • changed $this->AltBody = $textMsg; to $this->AltBody = html_entity_decode($textMsg);
  • We have removed the /phpdoc from the downloads. All documentation is now on the http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com website.

Version 2.2.1 () July 19 2008

  • fixed line 1092 in class.smtp.php (my apologies, error on my part)

Version 2.2 () July 15 2008

  • Fixed redirect issue (display of UTF-8 in thank you redirect)
  • fixed error in getResponse function declaration (class.pop3.php)
  • PHPMailer now PHP6 compliant
  • fixed line 1092 in class.smtp.php (endless loop from missing = sign)

Version 2.1 (Wed, June 04 2008)

NOTE: WE HAVE A NEW LANGUAGE VARIABLE FOR DIGITALLY SIGNED S/MIME EMAILS. IF YOU CAN HELP WITH LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

  • added S/MIME functionality (ability to digitally sign emails) BIG THANKS TO "sergiocambra" for posting this patch back in November 2007. The "Signed Emails" functionality adds the Sign method to pass the private key filename and the password to read it, and then email will be sent with content-type multipart/signed and with the digital signature attached.
  • fully compatible with E_STRICT error level
    • Please note: In about half the test environments this development version was subjected to, an error was thrown for the date() functions used (line 1565 and 1569). This is NOT a PHPMailer error, it is the result of an incorrectly configured PHP5 installation. The fix is to modify your 'php.ini' file and include the date.timezone = Etc/UTC (or your own zone) directive, to your own server timezone
    • If you do get this error, and are unable to access your php.ini file: In your PHP script, add date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC');
    • do not try to use $myVar = date_default_timezone_get(); as a test, it will throw an error.
  • added ability to define path (mainly for embedded images) function MsgHTML($message,$basedir='') ... where: $basedir is the fully qualified path
  • fixed MsgHTML() function:
    • Embedded Images where images are specified by <protocol>:// will not be altered or embedded
  • fixed the return value of SMTP exit code ( pclose )
  • addressed issue of multibyte characters in subject line and truncating
  • added ability to have user specified Message ID (default is still that PHPMailer create a unique Message ID)
  • corrected unidentified message type to 'application/octet-stream'
  • fixed chunk_split() multibyte issue (thanks to Colin Brown, et al).
  • added check for added attachments
  • enhanced conversion of HTML to text in MsgHTML (thanks to "brunny")

Version 2.1.0beta2 (Sun, Dec 02 2007)

  • implemented updated EncodeQP (thanks to coolbru, aka Marcus Bointon)
  • finished all testing, all known bugs corrected, enhancements tested

Note: will NOT work with PHP4.
