send email php with google cloud api

Question

I use the following code, that I get it from google's cloud documentation and it is used to send emails. The code works fines and sends email. I got only one small problem. How to make instead of senders email to be displayed the senders name that I want to give.

This is the code:

<?php

require_once 'google/appengine/api/mail/Message.php';
use \google\appengine\api\mail\Message;

try
{
  $message = new Message();
  $message->setSender("[email protected]");

//--- try change the above line to : $message->setSender("my_name <[email protected]>");
//--- but did not work, couldn't even send email when changed it.


  $message->addTo("[email protected]");
  $message->setSubject("Example email");
  $message->setTextBody("Hello, world!");
  $message->addAttachment('image.jpg', 'image data', $image_content_id);
  $message->send();
} catch (InvalidArgumentException $e) {
  // ...
}

?>

Answer 1

This seems to be a known issue on the GAE php library that will be fixed in the next release.

$name = 'John Doe';
$from = '[email protected]';
$message = new Message();
$message->setSender($name.'<'.$from.'>');
