Mailgun different ways to send

Found myself making a simple page with just a contact page, needed to send an email from the website using Mailgun.

composer require mailgun/mailgun-php

Then make a contact.php

<?php 
// Start a Session
session_start();
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Mailgun\Mailgun;
$post = $_POST;
if (!empty($post) && !empty($post['email']) && !empty($post['name']) && !empty($post['subject']) && !empty($post['message']) && !empty($post['phone']) && !empty($post['company'])) {
    $mgClient = Mailgun::create('key');
    $domain = "mg.domain.vc";
    $message = [
    'from'    => $post['email'],
    'to'      => '[email protected]',
    'subject' => 'Contact From '.$post['company'].' - '.$post['name'].' - '.$post['subject'],
    'text'    => $post['message'].'<br><br>Phone :'.$post['phone']
    ];
    $mgClient->messages()->send($domain, $message);
    $_SESSION['message'] = 'Your message is well received';
}
header("Location: https://www.domain.vc");
?>

Sending simple emails in laravel

I sometimes forget how to set this, so here's how :

MAIL_MAILER=mailgun
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=mg.domain.com
MAILGUN_SECRET=yoursecretkey

You just need to change the mail_mailer to Mailgun and find your secret key.

To try it out, make a command

php artisan make:command SendTestEmail

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;

class SendTestEmail extends Command
{
    // The name and signature of the console command
    protected $signature = 'email:test';

    // The console command description
    protected $description = 'Send a test email to verify email configuration';

    // Execute the console command
    public function handle()
    {
        $to = '[email protected]';  // Replace with your email address
        $subject = 'Test Email';
        $message = 'This is a test email to verify the email configuration in Laravel.';

        Mail::raw($message, function ($mail) use ($to, $subject) {
            $mail->to($to)
                ->subject($subject);
        });

        $this->info('Test email sent successfully.');
    }
}

php artisan email:test
