php-awsHow can I use Amazon SES to send emails with PHP?

Using Amazon SES to send emails with PHP is a simple process. First, you'll need to install and configure the AWS SDK for PHP, then you can use the following code to send an email:

<?php
// Include the AWS SDK using the Composer autoloader.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Ses\SesClient;

// Create a SesClient
$client = new SesClient([
    'version' => 'latest',
    'region'  => 'us-east-1',
]);

// Send an email
$result = $client->sendEmail([
    'Destination' => [
        'ToAddresses' => [
            'RECIPIENT_EMAIL_ADDRESS',
        ],
    ],
    'Message' => [
        'Body' => [
            'Text' => [
                'Data' => 'Email body',
            ],
        ],
        'Subject' => [
            'Data' => 'Email Subject',
        ],
    ],
    'Source' => 'SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS',
]);

echo $result->get('MessageId');

The output of this code should be the message ID of the sent email.

This code consists of the following parts:

• require 'vendor/autoload.php'; - loads the AWS SDK for PHP using the Composer autoloader.
• use Aws\Ses\SesClient; - imports the SesClient class from the AWS SDK for PHP.
• $client = new SesClient([...]) - creates a new SesClient instance.
• $result = $client->sendEmail([...]) - sends an email using the SesClient instance.
• echo $result->get('MessageId'); - prints the message ID of the sent email.
