Hey Alice,
Try throwing the MIME in. Sometimes messages get thrown in an abyss
if they don't know the MIME version or content type of an email.
They think its spam and so you wouldn't get an error message on your
end. Just no email.
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";

I tried installing the Pear Mail package, it is now located in php/PEAR/Mail,
and my code is located in the htdocs. Here is the code:
require_once("Mail.php");
$mail = Mail::factory("mail");
$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
if($_POST['submit']=="Submit") {
$from = "elite.engl...@att.net";
$to = $email;
$subject = "Comments Regarding HH Web Design Studio";
$body = "From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n
Comments:\n $comments";
$host = "smtp.att.yahoo.com";
$username = "my_user_name";
$password = "password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$mail->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo "" . $mail->getMessage() . "";
This is what I get:
Fatal error: Class 'Mail' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\Alice.Wei\web\mail.php
on line 30
Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my web folder? How
can I make sure that my Pear is running?
Thanks for your help.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Problem
Hi Alice, I have a sendmail script I wrote on my way to learning PHP. Uses PHP 4 i believe, maybe 5. Wrote it a while ago. You and anyone else are welcome to use it/modify. You can reference this php it from multiple forms. Just specify the form names it should accept and their parameters. It can also send HTML results with a little modification. It isn't necessarily set up for mass emailing, but with a little tweaking, I am sure you could get it to work. You can separate the emails with comas "," currently and it will send to all of them, but if they are in the TO:, everyone will see everyones email address. Might set it up to send to your email in the TO: and use the BCC: to send to your users. If you do convert it, mind sharing back?? :)) HTH, http://designdrumm.com/sendmail_gen.php.zip Karl On Apr 12, 2010, at 5:31 PM, Alice Wei wrote: Hi, Thanks to everyone's suggestions, I have followed some instructions from http://www.geeksengine.com/article/install-pear-on-windows.html and attempted to install PEAR.

There's no need to edit anything in php.ini, and, since it is pure PHP,
it should work on Windows too, though I didn't try it. It works well on
Linux. Here's the class we used to send mail through Zend_Mail:
setFrom($config_general->getSiteMailAddress(),
$config_general->getSiteMailName());
$mail->addTo($to_mail, $to_name);
$mail->setSubject($subject);
$mail->setBodyText($body, "UTF-8");
$smtp_host = $config_general->getMailSendHost();
$smtp_authentication = $config_general->getMailSendAuthentication
();
$smtp_user = $config_general->getMailSendUsername();
$smtp_password = $config_general->getMailSendPassword();
$smtp_security = $config_general->getMailSendSecurity();
$smtp_port = $config_general->getMailSendPort();
if ($smtp_host != "") {
if ($smtp_authentication != "None") {
$config = array ('auth' => $smtp_authentication, 'username' =>
$smtp_user, 'password' => $smtp_password);
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
}
if ($smtp_security != "NONE") {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('ssl' =>
$smtp_security));
}
if ($smtp_port != "") {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('port' => $smtp_port));
}
if (isset ($config)) {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host, $config);
} else {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
}
$mail->send($mta);
} else {
// If no smtp host is given, it uses the default sendmail mail
transport agent.
$mail->send();
}
}
}
?>
Hope it works,
Teus.

PHP's mail() was built on a general assumption that there would be a local SMTP server. It supports remote SMTP, but I'm not aware of any ability to do SMTP auth, even in the PEAR packages. You might just wanna read up on mail in general. The php.net/mail page lists several relevant RFC's, and has links to most of the PEAR mail classes, etc. You should definitely read up on live.com's email configuration. If they use SMTP auth, I'm not sure you can do this (per above). If it uses, say, "POP before SMTP" for authorization, you might be able to hack something together with the PHP IMAP functions, or even sockets, but you're getting into a big lotta work for what seems a small thing.

I don't see any way for you to know if there are any errors.
Try this as a very basic start:
$headers = "From: aj...@alumni.iu.edu";
$to = "aj...@alumni.iu.edu ";
$subject = "Comments Regarding My Studio";
$body = "From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n Comments:\n

Thanks for your help.
Thanks to the worldwide brotherhood of crooks known as spammers,
sending e-mail these days isn't nearly as easy as PHP makes it look.
You might wanna look into an "errors-to" header to help debug any
problems with sender authorization, bad ports, etc.

Is your script being run via the CLI or the web?
--
Daniel P. Brown
he's running it on the web, as the CLI worked ;)
Did you try to su to the PHP user first and then try to send the mail
with the CLI?
Sounds like a permission issue...

Hmm. Your php.ini says that the smtp server is on localhost. The error message
says that the system can't connect to an smtp server on localhost. Perhaps your
smtp server is really at your ISP, say smtp.yourisp.com.

Please install a mailserver until your SMTP server

When your SMTP server is down,mail func doesn't work.

Re: [PHP] mail function problem
changing the value in the php.ini file is not the ideal option, as it screws things up for all of users/scripts on the server. you could use ini_set() for the script to change the sendmail_path var for that script. you could use a mail class that does alot of the grunt work for you (Manuel Lemos normally posts some classes from his site, however I use PHPMailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net) and have never looked back.

You can use the fourth argument to mail() to set additional headers, such
as From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to try and get around the
problem.

My guesses:
Many mail servers are configured so that they send mail only if the sender
receives mail at the same time. One other possible pitfall is that reverse
IP lookup is not working correctly and your server rejects the mail as it
cannot verify the sender host. Also, many (well configured) servers do not
send when there is no live account for that sender.

RE: [PHP] mail() function problem
Dear Arul & friends,
thanks for your kind helps,
but the problem still exists.
the actual problem is that the 2nd mail() function
does not ever send the mail, no matter what the destination
and the additional header is.
is there a way to debug this problem?
thanks

Most mailing lists reject mail if the Subject is blank.
That would probably explain why your subjectless 2nd example is disappearing
into the void.

I think mailing list managers like Yahoo, ezmlm, etc all have "features" in
them to suspect bots and programs from subscribing/posting to the groups. I
know I've had trouble subscribing/posting to groups managed by ezmlm...
Probably there is a header or two that PHP automatically sets which makes
the mailing lists suspicious... or something!! I don't know enough about
email to really come up with an answer!!!
You could try setting some headers similar to what your email client sets,
to see if it's something "missing"... or try sending yourself an email from
a php script and analysing the headers it sets.
It could also be the lack of a return address or something similar that
throws the lists off too.

I think mailing list managers like Yahoo, ezmlm, etc all have "features" in
them to suspect bots and programs from subscribing/posting to the groups. I
know I've had trouble subscribing/posting to groups managed by ezmlm...
Probably there is a header or two that PHP automatically sets which makes
the mailing lists suspicious... or something!! I don't know enough about
email to really come up with an answer!!!
You could try setting some headers similar to what your email client sets,
to see if it's something "missing"... or try sending yourself an email from
a php script and analysing the headers it sets.
It could also be the lack of a return address or something similar that
throws the lists off too.
