The problem is, is that it uses the built in PHP mail() function, and on my testing server, mail() doesn't work. The other issue, is that I use SMTP Auth to connect to my mail server, so that when mail sends out, it comes from my mail server so that there is less of a chance for being marked as SPAM. So, what I am looking to do, is use either the trust old Pear::Mail or PHPMailer scripts (I am sure there are other ones out there, but those are the 2 I am most familiar with). So now to my actual question. How can I override the built-in PHP mail() function, to let either of those 2 (or something else someone may suggest) to act in the same manner as the mail() function? Is this easy? I've googled, but haven't seen any reference to doing what I am looking to do (maybe I just can't google) Steve You cannot override a function. You will have to write a new function, my_mail or some such. Have it take the same arguments as the built in mail function, but internally it uses phpmailer or the likes. Then, do a search and replace for mail( with my_mail( One other possible option, which I had not contemplated until now, would be to actually specify a replacement sendmail executable when setting up the sendmail option in the php.ini. You could specify a php script that can run as though it was sendmail, accept the same arguments, etc... but do all the phpmailer stuff inside. Jim Lucas after posting this, and doing some more googleing, I found this: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.override-function.php it says you can override built-in php functions... I haven't tested to see if i can do it, but it seems possible... has anyone used this before? and will it do what I need? (this has been put on the back burner for today, so tonight I will look more deeper into this unless someone else has any luck in the mean time) TIA! Steve I would opt for using my_mail and not overriding a built-in function. It seems to me that it would just cause confusion for the next developer who takes care of your code.

More likely is that folks often expect PEAR to be the end-all, be-all, and that was never the intent. PEAR is supposed to jump-start a project and extend some built-in functionality, not provide a framework or do all of the work for folks who consider themselves programmers because they can iterate an array in just twenty-seven lines of procedural code. As for folks who say that PEAR and PECL don't work --- the most common reason for this is user error or system configuration issues. I've experienced the same issues myself over the years quite frustrating, but sure enough, it was my fault most times. Oops...I just replied to Daniel.

Is there a PHP Best Practices Book, Document, or web site that has
information similar to Perl Best Practices but for PHP?
Yeah, it's hard to find this stuff.
A google search on {+Best Practices +PHP} returned only
4,340,000 hits.
Maybe, some day, someone will think to write something up.
The problem with this method is that scanning these results reveals
conflicting and contradictory recommendations that are all over the
place. Some are so old they may not even be valid PHP any
more. Reading
even a small subset of these pages is an exercise in frustration. But
that makes sense as there doesn't appear to be any consistency nor
consensus within the community, or even within some of the larger
projects.
Speaking of consensus, based on a recent discussion on the Perl
Beginners mailing list, the Perl Best Practices book is now considered
to be deprecated among the active Perl community. Many of its
recommendations are obsolete and no longer used. It is long
past due for
a major rewrite.
Bob McConnell
Yep. Perl Best Practices is due for a rewrite/update. I came across this page
that attempts to update it:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?pbp_module_recommendation_commentary
For PHP, I'll stick with the PEAR recommendations and do the best I can with
whatever is missing.
Thanks.

I was under the assumption that authentication was done

the apache config or php.ini, but I can't seem to find it.
I'm not sure what it'd be called in those config files. There
is no htaccess or htpasswd files that I could find on the
server. Below is the code that I believe does the authentication.
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=***');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Access denied';
exit;

If anyone can point me right direction, that'd be great.

Basic HTTP authentication is not using LDAP. You can use
PHP_AUTH_USER
and PHP_AUTH_PW to verify that the credentials are correct
(they'll be
populated with whatever the user entered). Exactly how you
do that is
up to you (hard code it, look in a database, LDAP, etc.). You then
send the 401 response code along with WWW-Authenticate if the
credentials aren't satisfactory.

Daniel Egeberg
I'll do some more digging. Would the LDAP authentication be
happening from apache or from within PHP? The user only sees
a username and password dialog. If they hit cancel, they get
the Access denied which I was assuming was from this bit of code.
Mike
if it's ldap then most likely you should check the sites apache config
file (apache-dir/sites-available) or .htaccess for something like..
Location /
AuthType Basic
AuthName ***
AuthBasicProvider ldap
