Hi!

Well, therein lies the rub, as the Bard said (maybe).
PHP's mail() was built on a general assumption that
there would be a local SMTP server. It supports remote
SMTP, but I'm not aware of any ability to do SMTP auth,
even in the PEAR packages.

You might just wanna read up on mail in general. The
php.net/mail page lists several relevant RFC's, and
has links to most of the PEAR mail classes, etc.

You should definitely read up on live.com's email
configuration. If they use SMTP auth, I'm not sure
you can do this (per above). If it uses, say, POP
before SMTP for authorization, you might be able to
hack something together with the PHP IMAP functions, or
even sockets, but you're getting into a big lotta work
for what seems a small thing.

This is what I am talking about.
Two years ago when I first set up my own server with Linux and not Windows, I
never had to deal with this.
Perhaps the authentication has since then got stricter, but it should not be
so much of a heck of a deal.

I found this doc from ATT's website,
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, so obviously the
smtp server I provided earlier is probably not up to date.

I think I will fiddle around with the php.ini file and see what else is
there.

Linux installations come with sendmail which allows you to send email
directly. Windows doesn't have this as part of the base setup, but I
believe if you can install a local mail server then this should fix the
issue.

There's no need to edit anything in php.ini, and, since it is pure PHP,
it should work on Windows too, though I didn't try it. It works well on
Linux. Here's the class we used to send mail through Zend_Mail:

$mail-setSubject($subject);
$mail-setBodyText($body, UTF-8);
$smtp_host =   $config_general-getMailSendHost();
$smtp_authentication = $config_general-getMailSendAuthentication
();
$smtp_user =   $config_general-getMailSendUsername();
$smtp_password =   $config_general-getMailSendPassword();
$smtp_security =   $config_general-getMailSendSecurity();
$smtp_port =   $config_general-getMailSendPort();
if ($smtp_host != ) {

$config = array ('auth' = $smtp_authentication, 'username' =

$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
  }

$smtp_security));
  }
  if ($smtp_port != ) {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('port' = $smtp_port));
  }
  if (isset ($config)) {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host, $config);
  } else {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
  }
  $mail-send($mta);
} else {
  // If no smtp host is given, it uses the default sendmail mail

PEAR's mail package does support authentication.
http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm

In case you get a Sent Successfully message (but didn't get a mail
in your inbox or spam folder) there is a problem with your SMTP server
configuration. And
 There's no need to edit anything in php.ini, and, since it is pure PHP,
 it should work on Windows too (i tried it and it works)

I will say mea culpa on this one; apparently I didn't
dig deep enough into the PEAR docs to figure this out.
It's certainly not mentioned on the manpage at php.net,
but, of course, the PEAR stuff is elsewhere.  I read over
the first page linked from the PHP manpage, so it must
have been a lil' deeper than that.  If it's only available
at about.com (lol), I'd suggest filing a PR with the PEAR

But, this time I'll do what I shoulda mentioned before and
include the IANAE disclaimer on all things PEAR, many

Hi Alice,
I have a sendmail script I wrote on my way to learning PHP.
Uses PHP 4 i believe, maybe 5. Wrote it a while ago.
You and anyone else are welcome to use it/modify.

You can reference this php it from multiple forms.
Just specify the form names it should accept and their parameters.
It can also send HTML results with a little modification.

It isn't necessarily set up for mass emailing, but with a little  
tweaking, I am sure you could get it to work.
You can separate the emails with comas , currently and it will send  
to all of them, but if they are in the TO:,

everyone will see everyones email address.
Might set it up to send to your email in the TO: and use the BCC: to  
send to your users.

If you do convert it, mind sharing back?? :))

HTH,

 I will say mea culpa on this one; apparently I didn't
 dig deep enough into the PEAR docs to figure this out.
 It's certainly not mentioned on the manpage at php.net,
 but, of course, the PEAR stuff is elsewhere.  I read over
 the first page linked from the PHP manpage, so it must
 have been a lil' deeper than that.  If it's only available
 at about.com (lol), I'd suggest filing a PR with the PEAR
 folk's documentation team, eh?

I tried installing the Pear Mail package, it is now located in php/PEAR/Mail, 
and my code is located in the htdocs. Here is the code:

require_once(Mail.php);
$mail = Mail::factory(mail);

$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

if($_POST['submit']==Submit) {
$from = elite.engl...@att.net;
$to =  $email;
$subject = Comments Regarding HH Web Design Studio;
$body = From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n 
Comments:\n $comments;

$host = smtp.att.yahoo.com;
$username = my_user_name;
$password = password;
$headers = array ('From' = $from,
'To' = $to,
'Subject' = $subject);
$mail-send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo p . $mail-getMessage() . /p;

This is what I get: 

Fatal error:  Class 'Mail' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\Alice.Wei\web\mail.php
 on line 30

Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my web folder? How 
can I make sure that my Pear is running?
Thanks for your help.

The New Busy is not the too busy. Combine all your e-mail accounts with Hotmail.

Mail.php contains the class Mail. So getting a class not found error
is not possible... (require_once stops the script in case it can't
find Mail.php)
 Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my web folder
ensure that C:/xampp/php/PEAR folder is added to your include list

I thought so too, this is what I have in my php.ini:

; PHP's default setting for include_path is .;/path/to/php/pear
; http://php.net/include-path
include_path = .;C:\xampp\php\PEAR

This is the contents of my C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Mail:
mail.php
mime.php
mimeDecode.php
mimePart.php
null.php
RFC822.php
sendmail.php
smtp.php

Unless, I have to do require_once(mail.php)?
I am getting confused.

Hey Alice,
Try throwing the MIME in. Sometimes messages get thrown in an abyss  
if they don't know the MIME version or content type of an email.
They think its spam and so you wouldn't get an error message on your  
end. Just no email.


$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . \r\n;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . \r\n;

Karl

when you install pear package Mail a file called Mail.php will be
installed into C:/xampp/php/PEAR
 Mail.php contains the class Mail. So getting a class not found error is 
 not possible..
are you sure you are doing require_once 'Mail.php' ?

Hi, 

I have an issue here where I see no PHP errors on my mail 

 function usage, and yet I am not getting the mail in the
 desired account. Here is what I have for my PHP code:


$headers = From: aj...@alumni.iu.edu;
$to = aj...@alumni.iu.edu ;
$subject = Comments Regarding My Studio;
$body = From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n Comments:\n 
$comments;
mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers);


I don't see any way for you to know if there are any errors.

Try this as a very basic start:

$headers = From: aj...@alumni.iu.edu;
$to = aj...@alumni.iu.edu ;
$subject = Comments Regarding My Studio;
$body = From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n Comments:\n 
$comments;
$success=mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers);

if ($success) {
   echo Mail was sent successfully!;
} else {
   echo Sending of mail failed!;
}




This is what I have in my PHP.ini:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.live.com
smtp_port = 587

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = aj...@alumni.iu.edu

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: sendmail -t -i).
;sendmail_path =

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra 
parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

Yet, I don't see any mail in my aj...@alumni.iu.edu Mailbox, can

 anyone on the list please give me some pointers on what I may have done wrong 
here?

Thanks for your help.


Thanks to the worldwide brotherhood of crooks known as spammers,
sending e-mail these days isn't nearly as easy as PHP makes it look.
You might wanna look into an errors-to header to help debug any
problems with sender authorization, bad ports, etc.

HTH,
