Sending emails from Amazon SES can sometimes be difficult. This script will include the PHP source code to send individual emails, or mass emailing from a MySQL database. We will also be sending the email with an awesome html/css designed email template. You need to include the ses.php file. You can download ses.php from amazon.

$subject = "This is the Subject";   //put in your subject
$from = "noreply@email.com";    //put in your from email address, verify on amazon ses.
$addto = $email;   //user email goes here
 
$message = "This is where the message goes. Hello World!";  //basic text email message
 
include_once('ses.php');
$con=new SimpleEmailService("API ID HERE","API KEY HERE");  //insert your api keys here
$con->listVerifiedEmailAddresses();
$m = new SimpleEmailServiceMessage();
$m->addTo($addto);
$m->setFrom($from);
$m->setSubject($subject);
$m->setMessageFromString($message,$message);
$con->sendEmail($m);    //sends the email

WITH HTML MESSAGE
This will send email with an HTML template. Looks great on phones! You can download the html and css template here.

ob_start();
include_once("/emails/htmlmessage.html");    // the location of your html template. Must include all CSS in the HTML. Also, images must have your full domain/location. 
$message = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
 
$subject = "This is the Subject";
$from = "noreply@email.com";
$addto = $useremail;   //user email goes here
$con=new SimpleEmailService(“API ID HERE”,”API KEY HERE”);
$con->listVerifiedEmailAddresses();
$m = new SimpleEmailServiceMessage();
$m->addTo($addto);
$m->setFrom($from);
$m->setSubject($subject);
$m->setMessageFromString($message,$message);
$con->sendEmail($m);
echo “Email sent to: $addto”;

Mass HTML Email Sending
Not much of a difference, this script will send an HTML email to all users in the MySQL database. Create a while loop that goes through all users.
