FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package linux-bash-mail-merge

Mail Merge helper for Linux

This package was created by and is maintained by Peter Thaleikis. It provides a simple helper to replicate popular mail merge services. You can use a CSV file to populate content using a template and trigger mailto actions on your preferred browser. If you'd like to contribute, please see mail merge project on my blog.

Installation

Requirements

The project itself doesn't have any direct dependencies. Your system will need to fulfill some basic requirements though:

Usage

  1. Fill in your CSV file and name it targets.csv. You should always have at least the following headers: Subject and Email as the script uses these.
  2. Write your template file and name it template.txt. Within the template file you can use any headers defined in the CSV file. The subject line should always be the first line and can start with Subject: (optional). Please note that you should write all headers in capital letters. So, Email would be transformed to EMAIL automatically.
  3. Run php generate.php to trigger the merge of the content and the related mailto: commands. You might need to allow these actions to be triggering your provider email (e.g. Gmail). You can test this by clicking this link: mailto:[email protected].

Troubleshooting

If you have placeholders in your template which aren't replaced with content from the CSV file, it might break the email being generated properly. Always ensure all placeholders exist in the CSV file.
