 [Newbie]

 Hi folks,

 I'm trying to set up some basic php send mail scripts - and I'm curious of
 the best way to go...


 I checked these basics out:

 http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

 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?

 Thanks in advance - dave

 

 ?php
 $to  = 'nob...@example.com';
 $subject = 'the subject';
 $message = 'hello';
 $headers = 'From: webmas...@example.com' . \r\n .
 'Reply-To: webmas...@example.com' . \r\n;

 mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
 ?

agree. php's interface is a bit basic. and if you compile php with openssl
then you can also use pear mail with smtp over ssl.

Thanks Tom,

I'm working with php 5 so is the 1.2.0b1 (beta) safe to use or should I go
with the older stable 1.1.14?

i don't know if the beta is safe but i always use the most recent stable
release of whatever-it-may-be unless i have a compelling reason to use a
beta or something older.

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.
