PHP SDK

Official PHP SDK for the ToSend email API.

  • Package: tosend/tosend-php
  • Requirements: PHP 7.4+, cURL extension
  • Repository: tosend/tosend-php

Installation

With Composer

bash
composer require tosend/tosend-php

Without Composer

This SDK is a single file with no external dependencies. You can use it without Composer:

  1. Download src/Api.php from the repository
  2. Place it anywhere in your project
  3. Include it in your code:
php
require_once 'path/to/Api.php';

$tosend = new ToSend\Api('tsend_your_api_key');

TIP

The SDK only requires PHP 7.4+ with the curl and json extensions, which are included in most PHP installations.

Quick Start

php
use ToSend\Api;

$tosend = new Api('tsend_your_api_key');

$response = $tosend->send([
    'from' => [
        'email' => 'hello@yourdomain.com',
        'name' => 'Your App'
    ],
    'to' => [
        ['email' => 'user@example.com']
    ],
    'subject' => 'Hello from ToSend!',
    'html' => '<h1>Welcome!</h1><p>Thanks for signing up.</p>'
]);

echo $response['message_id'];

Configuration

        'subject' => 'Hello User 1',
        'html' => '<p>Hello!</p>'
    ],
    [
        'from' => ['email' => 'hello@yourdomain.com'],
        'to' => [['email' => 'user2@example.com']],
        'subject' => 'Hello User 2',
        'html' => '<p>Hello!</p>'
    ]
]);

foreach ($response['results'] as $result) {
    if ($result['status'] === 'success') {
        echo "Sent: " . $result['message_id'] . "\n";
    } else {
        echo "Failed: " . $result['message'] . "\n";
    }
}

}

Error Handling

use ToSend\ToSendException;

try {
    $response = $tosend->send([
        'from' => ['email' => 'hello@yourdomain.com'],
        'to' => [['email' => 'user@example.com']],
        'subject' => 'Hello',
        'html' => '<p>Hello</p>'
    ]);
} catch (ToSendException $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
    echo "Code: " . $e->getCode() . "\n";

    // Get detailed validation errors
    foreach ($e->getErrors() as $field => $errors) {
