How it works

The official Mailtrap PHP SDK adds powerful email functionality to any PHP project. Dedicated bridges for Laravel and Symfony to simplify setup without writing code.

Configure

Step 1: Create a Mailtrap account and verify your domain. 

Step 2: Install Mailtrap package via composer. 

Step 3: Send emails, below you’ll find minimal usage example.

<?php

use Mailtrap\Helper\ResponseHelper;
use Mailtrap\MailtrapClient;
use Mailtrap\Mime\MailtrapEmail;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Address;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$mailtrap = MailtrapClient::initSendingEmails(
    apiKey: getenv('MAILTRAP_API_KEY') // your API key here https://mailtrap.io/api-tokens
);

$email = (new MailtrapEmail())
    ->from(new Address('sender@example.com'))
    ->to(new Address('recipient@example.com'))
    ->subject('Hello from Mailtrap PHP')
    ->text('Plain text body');

$response = $mailtrap->send($email);

// Access response body as array (helper optional)
var_dump(ResponseHelper::toArray($response));

For Laravel/Symphony bridges, SMTP integration, and advanced usage, see full SDK documentation.
