Question

I’m new to OOP and could use some help. My class is not working:

class Email {

  private $to = 'shummel@...';

  public $subject;
  public $body;

  public function send() {
   $this->addHeader('From: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
           'Reply-To: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
                       'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n");
   $this->addHeader("MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n");
   $this->addHeader("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n");
   $sent = mail($this->to, $this->subject, $this->body, $this->headers);
   return $sent;
  }

  private function addHeader($header) {
   $this->headers .= $header;
  }

 }

And here I am calling it:

$mail = new Email();
$mail = new Email;
$mail->subject($_POST['subject']);
$mail->body($_POST['body']);
$mail->send();

I’ve done print_r on the $_POST and the values are there. There are no problems with our mail server. So I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’d appreciate some help. Thanks.

I recommend using PHPMailer, which is a free and mature mailer class for PHP.
