Re: [PHP] Newbie - Setting Up Some Basic Sendmail Scripts
And got this code below going, but I'll bet I need a bit more - like adding authentication - smtp - port - sending user / pass etc. Any hints how to get this to the next level? Hi Dave, As others have said, it is convenient to use a library/framework to send mails from your PHP script via SMTP with authentication. You might also want to check out Zend_Mail component of Zend Framework. http://framework.zend.com/ -- With warm regards, Sudheer.
