  1. BACKGROUND: I am creating a custom class for use with PHPMailer that will hopefully eliminate redundancy in its application and even facilitate my use of the class. One of my questions deals with inheritance and the other has to do with scope. My current use of PHPMailer is quite simple. It consists of a folder containing four files: three of these are PHP class definitions and one of them is an autoloader. PHPMailer is called in the following manner: require_once '../../../PHPMailerAutoload.php'; $mail = new PHPMailer; Once the instance $mail has been created I have access to a large number of public functions that I have thought to consolidate into a single class of my own making called PHPGlobalMailer. My construction of this class appears awkward, and I would like to solicit your feedback in an attempt to remove its clumsiness. class PHPGlobalMailer { private $mail; private static $char_set = 'UTF-8'; private static $smtp_debug = 0; // SMTP::DEBUG_OFF (0): Disable debugging (default). // SMTP::DEBUG_CLIENT (1): Output messages sent by the client. // SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER (2): as 1, plus responses received from the server. // SMTP::DEBUG_CONNECTION (3): as 2, plus more information about the initial connection (used to diagnose STARTTLS failures. // SMTP::DEBUG_LOWLEVEL (4): as 3 (Verbose). private static $debug_output = 'html'; // 'echo': Plain text output (default). // 'html': Browser output. // 'error_log': Output to php.ini configured error.log. // function($str, $level) {echo "Debug Level: " . $level; "Error Message: " . $str;} private static $hostserver = '...'; private static $server_port = ...; private static $smpt_auth = 'true'; private static $mail_account_name = '...'; private static $mail_account_password = '...'; private static $from_mail_address = '...'; private static $from_mail_name = '...'; private static $reply_to_address = '...'; private static $reply_to_name = '...'; public $email = ''; public $name = ''; public $subject = ''; public $html_message = ''; public $alt_message = ''; public function __construct($email, $name, $subject, $html_message, $alt_message) { if ($this->mail new PHPMailer) { $this->mail->CharSet=self::$char_set; $this->mail->isSMPT(); $this->mail->SMTPDebug = self::$smpt_debug; $this->mail->Debugoutput = self::$debug_output; $this->mail->Host = self::$hostserver; $this->mail->Port = self::$server_port; $this->mail->SMPTAuth = self::$smpt_auth; $this->mail->Username = self::$mail_account_name; $this->mail->Password = self::$mail_account_password; $this->mail->setFrom(self::$from_mail_address, self::$from_mail_name); $this->mail->addReplyTo(self::$reply_to_address, self::$reply_to_name); $this->mail->addAddress($this->email, $this->name); $this->mail->Subject = $this->subject; $this->mail->msgHTML($html_message); $this->mail->altBody = $alt_message; } else { echo "Error: Failure to create new PHPMailer instance."; } } public function get_character_set() { return self::$char_set; } public function set_character_set($char_set) { self::$char_set = $char_set; } public function get_smtp_debug() { return self::$smtp_debug; } public function set_password($smtp_debug) { self::$smtp_debug = $smtp_debug; } public function get_debug_format() { return self::$debug_output; } public function set_debug_format($debug_output) { self::$debug_output = $debug_output; } public function get_debug_format() { return self::$debug_output; } public function set_debug_format($debug_output) { self::$debug_output = $debug_output; } public function get_mail_instance() { return $this->mail; } } The AWKWARDNESS 1) In order to make it work I must include PHPMailerAutoload.php file. Is there someway that I could avoid this, say through inheritance? 2) Notice that I am creating an instance of PHPMailer inside my class and then using the instance's public functions to modify it. Is this proper? If not, what would be a more appropriate way of constructing my class. 3) I am concerned that adjustments to an instance of PHPGlobalMailer will affect other instances created in a similar manner. For example, were I to change the value of $smpt_debug for a particular instance of PHPGlobalMailer would it not effect the value of that same parameter for other instances of PHPGlobalMailer? In effect, I would like full control of each instance, but still maintain constancy with regard to the $account_name and $account_password and other values across all instances. Could you please comment on each of three points. Roddy
