Sendgrid on OpenShift

This git repository helps you to send emails quickly and easily through SendGrid on OpenShift using PHP.

Running on OpenShift

Create an SendGrid account at http://sendgrid.com/pricing.html

Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/ and set up you local machine with the client tools.

Create a php-5.3 application (you can call your application whatever you want)

    rhc app create -a sendgrid -t php-5.3 --from-code git://github.com/sendgrid/openshift-sendgrid-php.git

If --from-code is not recognized, update your rhc gem.

Application code will be in sendgrid (or whatever you named your application).

Create custom environment variables in OpenShift

   rhc set-env sendgrid_user=<username> sendgrid_password=<password> -a sendgrid

Set username and password based on what you used to sign up for a SendGrid account and use the application name used to create your app.

###Configuration### Configure php/send_email.php file with your information:

    $mail->
          addTo('[email protected]')->
          setFrom('[email protected]')->
          setSubject('Subject goes here')->
          setText('Hello World!')->
          setHtml('Hello World!');

Then push the repo

    git add .
    git commit -m "my first commmit"
