Teach you to use Laravel to send an email that 'crosses the ocean'

The following tutorial column will introduce to you how to use Laravel to send an email "across the ocean". I hope it will be helpful to friends in need!

##Introduction

Email has greatly improved people's efficiency since its birth. Traditional The green mailbox method of sending letters has been replaced by bundles of communication messages transmitted on fiber optic cables. E-mail also brings the intrusion of spam messages. With the popularity of domestic social APPs, e-mails are gradually becoming more professional.

In this issue, we will not talk about how to send an email. Let’s first prepare a form and prepare the data required for the email.

Create Form form

First use the command line to create a restful style controller:

php artisan make:controller ContactController

Route::get('contact', 'ContactController@create')->name('contact.create');
Route::post('contact', 'ContactController@store')->name('contact.store');

namespace App\Http\Controllers;use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
class ContactController extends Controller {
    public function create()
    {
        return view('contact.create');
    }

• email: the recipient’s email address

• msg: Email content

• The following are the input fields of the form in the view file:

  {!! Form::open([&#39;route&#39; => &#39;contact.store&#39;]) !!}<p class="form-group">
      {!! Form::label(&#39;name&#39;, &#39;Your Name&#39;) !!}
      {!! Form::text(&#39;name&#39;, null, [&#39;class&#39; => &#39;form-control&#39;]) !!}</p><p class="form-group">
      {!! Form::label(&#39;email&#39;, &#39;E-mail Address&#39;) !!}
      {!! Form::text(&#39;email&#39;, null, [&#39;class&#39; => &#39;form-control&#39;]) !!}</p><p class="form-group">
      {!! Form::textarea(&#39;msg&#39;, null, [&#39;class&#39; => &#39;form-control&#39;]) !!}</p>{!! Form::submit(&#39;Submit&#39;, [&#39;class&#39; => &#39;btn btn-info&#39;]) !!}{!! Form::close() !!}

  Copy after login
  Note that the form is wrapped in
Between open

close

Verify data

After the form is created, we need to write a method to receive the form data. Before receiving and processing, the data must be valid sex to verify. Remember what we talked about earlier, using the FormRequest object to validate form fields.

php artisan make:request ContactFormRequest

authorize

public function authorize(){
    return true;}

public function rules(){
    return [
        'name' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required|email',
        'msg' => 'required'
    ];}

With the form submitted and the validator, we then need to process the data and write it to the database. Write the following code in the store method of the controller ContactController.

Introduce the validator in the header:

use App\Http\Requests\ContactFormRequest;

public function store(ContactFormRequest $request){
    $contact = [];
    $contact['name'] = $request->get('name');
    $contact['email'] = $request->get('email');
    $contact['msg'] = $request->get('msg');

    // 邮件发送逻辑代码
    return redirect()->route('contact.create');}
