Instantiate phpmailer in a separate class?

Hello,

I want to have a class send some emails.

I wanted to use the excellent phpMailer class to do this.

What is the proper way to use the phpMailer class from within a method of a
separate class?

the same way you would use it outside of a method of a class.


class Foo {
function bar() {
$mailer = new phpMailer;
// do stuff with mailer.
}
}


now your Foo class might want to make use of the $mailer object from within
more than one method - in this case you can consider using a property of your
Foo instances.

class Foo {
private $mailer;
function __construct() {
$this->mailer = new phpMailer;
}
function bar() {
$this->mailer->clearAddresses();
}
function bar() {
$this->mailer->Send();
}
}
