Hi All,
Semi newbie email question...
I have used the - mail() — Send mail php function to send email from a site.
now it seems the server is blocking this for safety because I should be using
authentication....
Q: mail() does not have authentication - correct?
Q: So I read from the link below that maybe I should use - PEAR Mail package
.... is this a good choice to send mail with authentication?
...any suggestions for basic sending email with authentication (setup info and
links also) would be welcome

I'm sure I'm going to annoy people with this, but I would advise to
never use PEAR. It's the biggest load of extremely badly coded PHP
you'll ever find. Creating an SMTP client (with the purpose of just
sending mail) is very easy to do yourself (and also a good challenge if
you're not yet very skilled with PHP). Alternatively, you can indeed use
a package such as PHPMailer; it's not perfect, and quite bloated for
what you want probably, but it works rather well.

Hi all php experts,
I would like to ask you all a question, I hope this is the right place
to ask it.
I'm writing a PHP extension now in c/c++. User uploads a file (could be POST
or PUT method, but I can limit it to POST only). I need to capture the
file data while being
uploaded, without writing it to disk on the server. I need to process
the data and (maybe,
depending on a situation) send it somewhere else or save it to disk.
Of course I know, that I can process the file
after it has been uploaded (saved on disk on the server), but I would
like to avoid it.
I also need to do something opposite: I need to generate a file "on the
fly" and send it
to the user. All metadata of the generated file is known beforehand
(e.g. size, name).
I've been searching around for some time now and I could not find
anything even close to the solution.
Is there any example(s) or existing PHP extension that do(es) something
like this (at least something simmilar) ?
If you could give me any pointers that would be awesome.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Mariusz
