Send email by Outlook client using PHP or JavaScript

Question

How can I send email by Outlook software installed on client systems by PHP?

Can I use PHPMailer and set host to local Outlook software? Or should I use JavaScript to send email, when Outlook opened on system?

I used this PHP code and return error:

if (!defined("olMailItem")) {define("olMailItem",0);}
$oApp  = new COM("Outlook.Application") or die('error');
$oMsg = $oApp->CreateItem(olMailItem);
$oMsg->Recipients->Add("mk.kardgar@gmail.com");
$oMsg->Subject=$subject;
$oMsg->Body=$message;
$oMsg->Save();
$oMsg->Send();

error:

Fatal error: Uncaught com_exception: Failed to create COM object Outlook.Application': Invalid syntax in C:\projects\ccs\modules\callReview\admin\just\cancellation\ajax\sendEmailCancellation.php:15 Stack trace: #0 C:\projects\ccs\modules\callReview\admin\just\cancellation\ajax\sendEmailCancellation.php(15): com->com('Outlook.Applica...') #1 C:\projects\ccs\admin\just.php(26): include('C:\\projects\\ccs...') #2

Ofc you want to send it with PHP, unless by Javascript you mean Node.js? Nevertheless your error is "Invalid syntax in path" which probably means you don't have Outlook installed, or installed in different path. — Mirakurun, Nov 27 '18 at 08:41
