That error is non-fatal, you have strict standards on. If you lowered your reporting to normal the errors will go away.

Otherwise you can edit the files listed in the error and you will see on those lines object declarations with an & in them. Remove the & and everything will work right. I wish Pear would fix this in their library.

Make sure that when you’re testing this check the php.ini file and double check that include_path has the path for the “pear” folder. It should read include_path .:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear or where ever yours might be installed. I edited the php.ini to include this file path and restarted apache2 and in my php code in did the include(“Mail.php”) with a Capital M and this cleared up my problem. I figured I would share my solution to help out with anyone else that might be having some issues.

fyi: an easier way is to do “pear install -alldeps mail” which will install all the dependencies of mail such as net_smtp.

Go to your command line (if linux or mac) and type “pear install –alldeps mail” without the quotes and you are done.

If you are on windows, check this url … i don’t know for windows http://pear.php.net/package/Mail

For those of you looking for mail.php you need 2 things installed on your server:
pear
and pear Mail

pear is a package for PHP that gets installed after PHP is compiled. If pear is not installed you need to do so at the OS level. If you own your own server then look up installing pear for your OS (ubuntu is apt-get install pear) if you are on a shared server your provider will need to have that library installed for you. And if its not, then you probably won’t get them to do it.

Once pear is installed on your system you can install it with this command. Pear install Net_SMTP. There might be dependencies of other things but you just can’t have mail.php in your home directory and include it that way. It just doesn’t work like that.

Hopefully this is helpful.

this script works great.can you help me to change it to a bulk mailer ?

Wow, people are still finding and commenting on this thread so I’ll add my experience.

On RHEL I did a:

yum install php php-pear

then a:

pear install Net_SMTP

but the Mail.php that is included in the above script did not exist.

Tried to do a:

pear install Mail but was thrown:

pear/Mail requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.5.6), installed version is 1.4.9

So I just used the example script that includes Net/SMTP.php instead found here:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.networking.net-smtp.intro.php

HTH

I am new to Forms, and would like to know what steps I have to do to create a “Contact Us” form that when the form button “Submit” is clicked, it sends two emails – one to the customer confirming the information supplied, and one to the site owner with all the details.

I can create the form using Dreamweaver CS4, but after that I don’t know what to do. all my coduing has been in HTML to date.

I would appreciate any ideas and sugfgestions

regards,
Jill
