PEAR::Mail / Net_SMTP install issues

[SteRiley]

I'm currently attempting to setup a mail form using PEAR::Mail so I can take advantage of sending mail via an authenticated SMTP server. I currently have the following modules installed:

• Archive_Tar (1.3.5)
• Auth_SASL (1.0.3)
• Console_Getopt (1.2.3)
• Mail (1.1.14)
• Net_SMTP (1.4.1)
• Net_Socket (1.0.9)
• PEAR (1.9.0)
• Structures_Graph (1.0.3)
• XML_Util (1.2.1)

The above was installed in the following order PEAR first then Mail (the other modules came with them). I then tried to execute the following code from /public_html/:

<?php
require_once "../php/Mail.php";

$from = "Test <sender@example.com>";
$to = "SteRiley <email@email.com>";
$subject = "This is a test message";
$body = "Did this work?";

$host = "ssl://mail.mydomain.com";
$port = "465";
$username = "myusername";
$password = "mypassword";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
  'To' => $to,
  'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
  array ('host' => $host,
    'port' => $port,
    '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>");
 }
?>

However this returns the following error:

Warning: include_once(Net/SMTP.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/steriley/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 206

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'Net/SMTP.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/steriley/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 206

Fatal error: Class 'Net_SMTP' not found in /home/steriley/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 210

/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 206 is set to include_once 'Net/SMTP.php'; I assume something clever goes on to path it to the correct place? I've tried amending it to include_once '../Net/SMTP.php'; but this didn't help.

This is the first time I've attempted to use PEAR to it could be a n00b error, where am I going wrong?

Hi,

The PEAR::Net_SMTP module doesn't seem to be installed correctly &/or you need to make sure that the PHP PEAR directory falls under the include_path directive in the php.ini so that all the necessary files are included.

Please open up a support ticket with the necessary details of your account so we can take a closer look into this & get it sorted ASAP

I have made necessary changes under your account and now I am able to sending mail via an authenticated SMTP server without any error.

Hi ronniev,
I have exactly the same problem.

What did you do to fix the problem?
Is it something I can do - or does it need to be done by an eukhost admin..?

Well, after reading what feels like millions of posts from people with similar problems, I discovered this:

If you don't hav access to your php.ini file (eg. because it's shared on Windows boxes) you can add this line of code to your file:

set_include_path('../php/');

now this line of code
require_once "Mail.php";
should work.
