// Pear Mail Library

$from = 'mymail@hotmail.com';

$subject = 'Your Password Is Reseted - Automated Tollgate System!';
$body ='
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>TODO supply a title</title>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    </head>
    <body>


        <h1>hi dear friend</h1>

    </body>
</html>

';
       
        

$headers = array(
    'From' => $from,
    'To' => $to,
    'Subject' => $subject
);

$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
        'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
        'port' => '465',
        'auth' => true,
        'username' => 'automated@gmail.com',
        'password' => 'auto@2017',
    ));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
    echo('<p>' . $mail->getMessage() . '</p>');
} else {
    $message = "Password reset link has sent to your email address";
    echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('$message');</script>";
    
    header("Location : index.php");
}
