phpmailerHow do I use PHPMailer with OAuth 2.0?
PHPMailer can be used with OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication and authorization. To do this, you must first obtain the necessary credentials from your email provider.
Once you have the credentials, you can use the following example code to authenticate with OAuth 2.0:
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = 'your_username';
$mail->Password = 'your_password';
$mail->AuthType = 'XOAUTH2';
$mail->oauthUserEmail = 'your_email_address';
$mail->oauthClientId = 'your_client_id';
$mail->oauthClientSecret = 'your_client_secret';
$mail->oauthRefreshToken = 'your_refresh_token';
This code sets up the SMTP connection and then authenticates with OAuth 2.0 using the credentials you obtained from your email provider.
