[linson]

Hello,

I'm getting following error while try to send mail via php script with smtp authentication

Mail Sent.
Fatal error: Undefined class name 'mail' in test.php line 16

script is for eg :

<?php
require_once "Mail.php";

$from = "Sandra Sender <sender@example.com>";
$to = "Ramona Recipient <recipient@example.com>";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";

$host = "mail.example.com";
$username = "smtp_username";
$password = "smtp_password";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
?>

I'm not able to send mail with above script.I have php 5 installed on my machine.Does i need install pear on my machine.There is a file go-pear.bat in the php5 directory.Also include path specified in php.ini is
include_path = ".;./includes;./pear"
There is only one file under pear directory which is "go-pear.phar"

In script there is mail.php specified - > require_once "Mail.php.what is that meant for ? shall i need to create mail.php file ? what should be the entries inside it ?

I think pear is not installed on my machine.Could you please help me to send mail with SMTP authentication

It really looks like PEAR isn't installed properly on your machine.

What you should see in the directory where PEAR is installed is a file called 'Mail.php' and a 'mail' dir. In the dir there will be another 'mail.php' (note all lowercase), and other PEAR things like 'mime.php' and 'Queue.php' etc.
