[PHP] [NEWBIE] PEAR Help
Hello all. I am new to using PEAR, but not so much to PHP. I was looking
for a little help.
I'm trying to get my contact script to work with the PEAR::Mail extension.
So I followed the tutorial on pear.php.net about using the object =
Mail::factory() and then the object::send() method to send the email. So
after doing that, I get the following code:
Main.php
$recips = $Recip.'; ';
$recips .= $Email;
require_once('config.php');
$headers['From'] = $Name. .$Email.;
$headers['Subject'] = $Subject;
$headers['To'] = $Recip;
$headers['Cc'] = $Email;
require_once('Mail.php');
$mail_object = Mail::factory($method, $params);
$mail_object-send($recips, $headers, $message);
if($mail_object != 'TRUE'){
require_once('PEAR.php');
$error = PEAR_Error::toString();
echo b.$error./b;
$_REQUEST['pageid'] = '23';
}
else{
$_REQUEST['pageid'] = '22';
}
Config.php
$method = 'smtp';
//$params['sendmail_path'] = /usr/sbin/sendmail;
$params['host'] = localhost;
$params['port'] = 25;
$params['auth'] = TRUE;
$params['username'] = ridgeswi;
$params['password'] = **;
The email is not sent to either recipient, and I don't get an error, or if I
do, it has no values:
i.e. [: message= code=0 mode= level= prefix= info=]
Anyone see anything wrong? Is it perhaps that I'm using tabs instead of
spaces for indentation or what? Thanks for the help.

RE: [PHP] weird mail function problem
First off, this is not the most efficient way to send mail as it closes
reopens connections to the server for each mail. Look into using PEAR.
Secondly, I would not loop through everything for each email address. One
way to do it would be to say:
If($email_to != ){
$to = explode(,, $email_to);
$to_email = ;
$i = 0;
While($i=count($to)){
$to_email .= $to[$i];
}
// Now, just create 1 email, and send it to all the names
$subject = $email_subject;
$body .= $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];
$body .= \n---\n;
$body .= Article Name :;
$body .= \n---\n;
$body .= $Article_Name;
$body .= \n---\n\n;
$body .= \nStory :\n\n;
$body .= $TheStory;
$body .= \n\n\n---\n;
$body .= Sent By: .$HTTP_POST_VARS['email_address'].\n;
$header = From: .$HTTP_POST_VARS['email_address'].
.$HTTP_POST_VARS['email_address'].\n;
$header .= Reply-To: .$HTTP_POST_VARS['email_address'].
.$HTTP_POST_VARS['email_address'].\n;
$header .= X-Mailer: PHP/ . phpversion() . \n;
$header .= X-Priority: 1;
$header .= To: Some [EMAIL PROTECTED]; // Masks To: field
mail($to_email, $subject, $body, $header);
}
That would make more sense, yet still the server load would be huge because
of all the opening and closing of connections. Look into PEAR::Mail or
using SMTP.

RE: [PHP] Sessions and cookies
Well, if you look in your phpinfo() file, you will see a SESSION_TIMEOUT or SESSION_LENGTH value that is something like 18... different for each server. If you hold all your session values in the array, then you can use session_destory(); as long as session_start() is previous to that. I am under the impressions that both Sessions and Cookies are stored on the user end, but I may be wrong. ~Brett -Original Message- From: Jacques [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 1:20 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Sessions and cookies When a session object is created - where is it store? (Perhaps on the application server - IIS or Appatche?) Or on a cookking on a user's computer? To destroy the session object (widht all session vairables inside the particluar session object) can I use session_destroy(); What is also the default life span of a session object? and can this bechanged?
