We recommend using SendGrid PHP, our client library, available on GitHub, with full documentation.
The library does not officially support the V2 API, but you can use V2 with an older version of the library. For more information, see Continue Using V2 in PHP.
_12// using SendGrid's PHP Library_12// https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php_12require 'vendor/autoload.php';_12$sendgrid = new SendGrid("SENDGRID_APIKEY");_12$email = new SendGrid\Email();_12_12$email->addTo("test@sendgrid.com")_12 ->setFrom("you@youremail.com")_12 ->setSubject("Sending with SendGrid is Fun")_12 ->setHtml("and fast with the PHP helper library.");_12_12$sendgrid->send($email);
If you choose not to use SendGrid's client library you may use PHP's cURL function to query the web API.

This example takes the previous example a step further by adding our SMTPAPI header to set a category and send out to multiple recipients. The category is called test_category, and the email will go out to both example1@sendgrid.com and example2@sendgrid.com. The normal to address, example3@sendgrid.com, will not receive an email.

This example adds the additional attachment parameter to attach a file called myfile. This example assumes the file is in the same directory as your code otherwise you need to specify the full path of the file in the $filePath variable.
