How to send mail using MXAE API

Sometimes there is a need to send email out programmatically during your course of your website development. MXAE provides an easy way to obtain an SMTP object via API for developer to send email out from the website. This mxSMTP object obtained is pre-instantiated based on the SMTP settings set within the website property hence the developer does not need to know anything about the website's SMTP settings. 

Example:

<?php
// get the mxSMTP object
$smtp = mxApp::getInstance()->getSMTPObject();
$headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/html';
$emails = array('user1@test.com', 'user2@test.com');
$smtp->setRecipient($emails);
$from = 'Example Email';
$body = 'Following is the detail of the article you have just submitted:<br/><br/>'."\n";
$body .= '<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">'."\n";
$body .= '<tr><td>ID</td><td>:</td><td><b>'.$article->id.'</b></td></tr>'."\n";
$body .= '<tr><td>Date</td><td>:</td><td><b>'.$article->pubdate.'</b></td></tr>'."\n";
$body .= '<tr><td>Title</td><td>:</td><td><b>'.htmlspecialchars($article->title).'</b></td></tr>'."\n";
$body .= '<tr><td>Summary</td><td>:</td><td><b>'.htmlspecialchars($article->body).'</b></td></tr>'."\n";
$body .= '<tr><td>Country</td><td>:</td><td><b>'.htmlspecialchars($article->country).'</b></td></tr>'."\n";
$body .= '</table>'."\n";
$smtp->setHTMLBody($body);
$this->log('Sending email...');
if (!$smtp->send($from, '[NOTE] '.$article->title, $headers)) {
	$this->log("Error sending email: ".$smtp->getLastErrorMessage(), MX_LOG_ERROR);
}
?>
