Mail - Smtp - smtp.php

[elranu]

Hi,
I want to send mails with the smtp of my isp. But this smtp has authentication of users. The first thing I try was using the mail() function, but i don´t know how to setup the php.ini for this smtp. Someone knows?

Also i have being looking, and I found on /usr/share/php a file call Mail.php and in /usr/share/php/Mail a file smtp.php .
smtp.php has the class Mail_smtp wich has variables of smtp host, port, a boolean of authentication for smtp, username and password. Someone knows how to work with this classes? I know how to work with objects, but no on php. How I include those classes on my code? with include?
Thanks,
eL RaNu

If ($os=="windows") I recommend you to setup a SMTP server
webattack.com- they got a lot of freeware there.
smtp wil be localhost

elseif($os=="linux") it must work by default without any interventions.

Including files and using objects in PHP is really straight forward.

First, include or require the file (more about this in the documentation):

include("file.php");
include_once("file.php");
require("file.php");
require_once("file.php");

I take it it's an object you need, so you'll probably want to use the require_once method. This makes sure that the file is only inlcuded once. Read more about the difference between include and require at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php.

To create an object the syntax is pretty much the same as in any other OO language,

$obj = new Object();

It calls the constructor of the object, and - of course - you can pass variables to the constructor.

I'm not familiar with the Mail_smtp object, but it's a part of PEAR's Mail:: interface, and the documentation can be found here:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/core.mail.mail.php

Good luck,

Instead of using the normal mail() function - have a look at the use of sockets instead...

I have used this

<?php 
$smtp_server = "192.168.150.5"; 
$port = 25; 
$mydomain = "192.168.150.5"; 
$sender = "[e-mail]"; 
$subject = "Conference Enquiry Details from CCSEnquiry"; 
$handle = fsockopen($smtp_server,$port); 
if($handle) 
{ 
	fputs($handle, "EHLO $mydomain\r\n"); 
	$info=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	// Send out the e-mail 
	fputs($handle, "MAIL FROM:$sender\r\n");
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	fputs($handle, "RCPT TO:$recipient\r\n"); 
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	fputs($handle, "RCPT TO:[e-mail]\r\n"); 
	fputs($handle, "DATA\r\n"); 
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	fputs($handle, "To: $recipient\r\n");
	$now=date("D d/m/y H:i:s"); 
	fputs($handle, "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "From:CCS<[e-mail]>\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "BCC:CCS<[e-mail]>\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "Date:$now\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "Subject:$subject\r\n\r\n"); 
	fputs($handle, "$content"); 
	fputs($handle, "\r\n.\r\n"); 
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	fputs($handle, "QUIT\n"); 
	$info .=fgets($handle,100); 
	sleep(5); 
	fclose($handle); 
} 
else 
echo "Failed to open socket!"; 
?> 

There are additional login parameters you can set, but I can't remember them off hand...
