SMTP mail form with PEAR and WAMPServer?

Your default PEAR location in your config is wrong. (At least I think... ) Either that, or you have put the PEAR packages in the wrong directory. Put them in php5/pear directory.

What kind of server is this? What is the host?

windows server 2003 I believe. The host is a buddy of mine who owns his own server.

Did you try what I suggested?

where should I put these scripts you gave me?

should I replace mail.php with the class you gave me, or should it go somewhere else?

What do I do with the second script you gave that somehow ties the class in with my form?

Where do I put them?

The mail class I gave you is NOT pear, so don't replace that with the Mail.php already in the PEAR package... Just put it either in the same directory where your form is, or a different directory, not replacing anything.

The second script that I have you that somehow ties the class in with my form, you should name it something... like for this example, simply 'sendmail.php'.

Then in the form, put your action as 'sendmail.php' and all should work after that (As long as you have configured the SMTP class I gave you with the correct credentials).

for some reason I'm getting these errors:

I don't enderstand why it's telling me "Undefined index: firsstname" - I fixed that last night.

And the rest of the errors don't make sense to me. This is all using your class and script

Did you re-upload the files to the host? I kept checking your forms periodically and came to the conclusion that you haven't re-uploaded the fixed version.

I just put the entire site with Dreamweaver twice

Rename the mailing class to something like 'pcon.php' or something obscure like that. Don't forget to change sendemail.php to reflect the change.

ok, found out that there were 2 seperate copies; two seperate directories, for the same site. I was uploading to the wrong place.

Now that it's uploaded, I'm getting this error:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

Parse error: parse error in C:\USR\bin\wamp\www\voltec\sendemail.php on line 11

Line 11 reads:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

$mail_prefix = 'A ' . $_POST['service'] . ' request was sent to you from ' . $_POST['firstname'] . ' ' . $_POST['lastname'] . '\r\n <hr />';

Change that line to:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

$mail_prefix = 'A ' . $_POST['service'] . ' request was sent to you from ' . $_POST['firstname'] . ' ' . $_POST['lastname'] . "\r\n <hr />";

and change line 8 to:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

$adm_email = 'your_email@your_host.com';

I forgot the semi-colon ';' after line 8, so it is giving you that error.
