From: Peter Lind on 19 Apr 2010 04:15 Most, if not all, mail servers keep log files. You should look for the log files to see if the mail server has sent your mail properly or is experiencing problems (those may not feed back into PHP).

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. Blessings, David M.

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.

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 <flinty(a)example.com>â; $to = âBarney Rubble <barneyr(a)example.net>â; $subject = âMail Subjectâ; $message = âthis is the text of the mail, sent using PEARâs Mail packages.â; $host = âsmtp.example.comâ; $port = â25â³; $headers = array (âFromâ => $from, âToâ => $to, âSubjectâ => $subject); $smtp = Mail::factory(âsmtpâ, array (âhostâ => $host, âportâ => $port)); $mime = new Mail_mime(); $mime->setTxtBody($message); $mime->addAttachment(â/home/ken/logo.pngâ, âimage/pngâ); $body = $mime->get(); $mail = $smtp->send($to, $mime->headers($headers), $body); if (PEAR::isError($mail)) { echo($mail->getMessage() . â!\nâ); } else { echo(âMessage successfully sent to $to!\nâ); echo âQueued As (ESMTP Id): â, $smtp->queued_as, â\nâ; echo âGreeting From Mailserver: â, $smtp->greeting, â\nâ; } ?> > Blessings, > David M. > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- http://blogs.linux.ie/kenguest/
