Read the PEAR documentation:

You can use other backends than just 'mail' - try using the smtp and

I saw something like that on
http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm,
and this is probably what you are talking about?
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' = $host,
'auth' = true,
'username' = $username,
'password' = $password));
Do I still need to install a mail server? I have Evolution Mail on my Linux

Yes, the example you provide is the right direction - you can put in
the smtp details you use to connect from Evolution to GMail, you don't
need to setup a separate smtp server on your system.

Well, hold it. I have edited my code to hold the information as we have
discussed earlier, and this is the error I have now:

not getting anything at all.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Using PEAR Issues
you have to install the net_smtp package, simply with this command:
$ pear install net_smtp-1.4.2 (which will explicitly install version
1.4.2 of Net_SMTP)
If that doesn't work. for whatever reason, you could download the
package manually from http://pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP/download
and install it by hand; though for reasons I've outlined in a previous
post to this list I'd suggest you use the pear installer.

You might, depending on if you need to use the Mail_Mime or Mail_Queue
packages also (for sending emails with attachments etc etc or for
sending mails in bulk).
Also there's some rather nice new functionality in the more recent
versions of Mail and Net_SMTP that enable you to log the ESMTP Id of
mails you have submitted to a mail server (along with the SMTP
greeting sent by that server when you connect to it).
Alice, I never use the PEAR install from my distro, I always download
and install PEAR into my working folder. The benefit of doing it this
way is so that when you move your project to a different server, nothing
will break and you don't have to change anything.
Sometimes when I create a new project, I'll just copy the PEAR folder
from an older project to the new one. The only thing you may have to
change in your PHP code is the path to the PEAR libs only if you don't
put them in the same place every time.
When some bug is fixed or dependencies of some of those PEAR packages
change I think you'll find your attitude towards that will change -
there's a pear installer so you don't have to update and track the
dependencies by hand - you do regularly update your packages don't
you? It's smart to do so because at the very least you don't have to
implement work-arounds for bugs that have been fixed in later versions
of those packages - and in the worst-case scenario it means you're not
using versions that have PEAR Security Advisories issued against them.
I believe it's possible to have seperate pear config files per project
so you're not limited to having to use the same versions of packages
across all projects.
If you're using more than a handful of PEAR packages in your project
you might want to write your own meta-package for the project; that
way you don't have to install all those packages individually;
you just do something like $pear install myProject.xml and the pear
installer will download and install whichever pear packages you have
described in your xml file.
Details on doing this are at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.users.dependencytracking.php
For the record, this is the example script that I submitted to
http://www.web-development-blog.com/archives/php-mail-scripts-using-smtp-transport-a-guide-for-beginners/
for demonstrating how to use the PEAR packages for sending a mail with
a file attached.:
?php
require_once Mail.php;
require_once Mail/mime.php;
$from = Fred Flintstone fli...@example.com“;
$to = “Barney Rubble barn...@example.net“;
$subject = “Mail Subject”;
$message = “this is the text of the mail, sent using PEAR’s Mail packages.”;
$host = “smtp.example.com”;
$port = “25″;
$headers = array (‘From’ = $from, ‘To’ = $to, ‘Subject’ = $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory(’smtp’, array (‘host’ = $host, ‘port’ = $port));
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime-setTxtBody($message);
$mime-addAttachment(“/home/ken/logo.png”, ‘image/png’);
$body = $mime-get();
$mail = $smtp-send($to, $mime-headers($headers), $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo($mail-getMessage() . “!\n”);
} else {
echo(“Message successfully sent to $to!\n”);
echo “Queued As (ESMTP Id): “, $smtp-queued_as, “\n”;
echo “Greeting From Mailserver: “, $smtp-greeting, “\n”;
}
?

Here is the link: http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/ It asks me to put in the type of mail service I used, it grabbed Google, which is smtp.google.com. I still cannot send mail. I start to wonder what is going on. Alice Evolution is a mail client, not a mail server. Apart from that, you're using the 'mail' (PHPs mail function) as the backend mailer in your PEAR script - try using smtp instead and pass the SMTP config data you normally use. Have a look at http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php - the smtp part.

Which I suggested on your previous thread. Also, I see you have
$from set to equal localhost. Many SMTP servers will reject this

Try making $from equal to a real working address - possibly the same

I have made sure that my $from and $to addresses are different,
Could there be anything else wrong here? I have not edited
anything in php.ini regarding this issue. Would I need to?
Well, it's a Good Thing(tm) to know what those settings are.
Have they changed since your last thread?
I have not changed any of my SMTP settings since my new installation of
PHP with Pear. So, I am not sure what the settings are supposed to be.
Would I need to install anything else even when the Pear Mail package
has been installed?

Alice, I never use the PEAR install from my distro, I always download and install PEAR into my working folder. The benefit of doing it this way is so that when you move your project to a different server, nothing will break and you don't have to change anything. Sometimes when I create a new project, I'll just copy the PEAR folder from an older project to the new one. The only thing you may have to change in your PHP code is the path to the PEAR libs only if you don't put them in the same place every time.
