Having trouble with installation of PHPMailer and hoping to get some insights. I loaded the package and ran PHPMailerAutoLoad.php. I get no errors or confirmations, just a blank page. Other php documents run from the same directory, so I can only assume it's running. On the server though, I can find no sign of anything having been installed. So I'm resorting to manual installation which apparently involves nothing more than placing the key files in the desired directory. I'd like to make that the default include-path but can't determine what that is. phpinfo() shows include-path as ".:". Does that mean it's set for a root level or is it empty? If it's a root level, how can I determine what it's relative to? Would I possibly disrupt something else if I set a new include-path? (since I don't know if anything is already loading from it) Finally, perhaps the dumb part of my question, can I load PHPMailer there as a folder or do I need to drop the parts into the root level of the include-path directory? FWIW, I've been successfully sending mail w and w/o attachments from the server with PHP for some time. Now I need to authenticate and send via an SMTP server. Rather than switch to a Python process I've used, I'm hoping to get PHPMailer in place and working so I can stay with PHP across multipe sites. I've chosen it over PEAR as my better hope.
