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.

DCP Portal and ttCMS were two projects that I actively developed. Both shared #1 top prize in CMS/Portal shoot out for its day. I long ago abandoned both ... quite frankly, the feature bloat driving that segment was getting out of hand and I didn't want to participate. Over the years, I...

Do a search on "PHP Documentation" and you'll get the top project documentation tools, likely the first one in the list will be PHP Documentor – definitely the leading package for creating documentation. Problem is that every tool available now go well beyond just PHP projects and require a...
Starting with releases in 2024, all codeworxtech projects will follow a simple coding standard: PHP Tags <?php (preferred) or <?= Character Encoding PHP code must use UTF-8 without BOM PHP code lines use \n Unix style line endings Side-Effects Classes cause no side-effects (no executable...
Using classes with namespaces can get a bit daunting ... at least confusing ... when the provider has multiple classes in varying categories. I'll use my own classes as an example, and show how to simplify the coding. My full list of classes and their namespaces: PHPMailer Pro namespace:...
PHP documentation shows that date("r"), and note that this is equivalent to date("d-M-Y H:i:s O") will provide an RFC 2822 / RFC 5322 formatted date (as in: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 16:01:07 +0200) ... That is correct. However, keep in mind that may work when creating the header for an email. I...

Yes, there is. It's the next generation, PHPMailer2. I should know, I was the sole author of the original PHPMailer starting with a major re-write in version 2.0.0 on November 7 2007 – all the way through to version 5.1 in use until at least July 28 2011. Those versions of PHPMailer were...
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: $mail->RecipientName = 'John Doe'; $mail->RecipientEmail = 'john.doe@domain.com'; In...
