Category: Open Source Projects
I have been an "Open Source" contributor for several decades. Previous projects have included PHPMailer, PHPMailer-FE, PHPMailer-ML, DCP-Portal, ttCMS, QuickCSV, QuickCache, QuickSkin, OPcache, SmartTemplate, FormValidator, and a few others. Health issues forced a retirement in 2012 ...
I returned to maintaining and creating Open Source projects in 2020. The projects I am working on include PHPMailer Pro, SMTPMailer, PHPMailer-BMH (Bounce Mail Handler), PHPMailer-FE (Form to Email), and FormValidator.

The new Form2Mail aims to be far more user friendly than previous projects.
An example is how To:, From:, Cc:, and Bcc: are entered. Using To: as an example, most scripts would require you to enter that as:

Spoiler alert. Here's what the form setup to process with the Form2Mail class looks like:
if (count($_POST) > 0) {
include_once('assets/mailer/class.Form2Mail.php');
if ( class_exists('codeworxtech\Form2Mail')) {

I fell ill in 2011/2012. Another developer took over the PHPMailer project and I am quite thankful for that assistance. PHP is not very friendly to email transportation and we all need email transportation software to help.
