PHP Email Class

Fri, 1 Oct 2010

I made a new email class (Open Source GPL) for you. I felt it would be fitting to branch the To/From together in the construct, and the Subject/Message in a separate method (content was the most logical name I could think). This is better than having a method for all four properties, I think. There is also a Bcc method that can be used, just use CSV (Comma Separated Values) as noted in the phpDoc.

I think it requires creativity to simplify things in an intelligible way, I am trying my best to accomplish this.
