PEAR sendmail problems

[dennismonsewicz]

So I am trying to explore the avenue known as PEAR and I am getting nowhere

 

Here is my code:

 

 require '/usr/share/php/Mail.php';

			$recipients = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com';

			$headers['From']    = 'me@me.com';
			$headers['To']      = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com';
			$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';

			$body = 'Test message';

			$params['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/lib/sendmail';

			// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
			$mail_object =& Mail::factory('sendmail', $params);

			$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);

 

If I do not include the file using an absolute path I get the following error message:

 

Fatal Error: 'PEAR.php' is not a valid path 

 

But if I include the file with the absolute path I then get a blank page....

 

Any ideas?

Have you turned error reporting on in your script?

yes

ok so now I am getting the following error:

 

Fatal Error: 'send' is an unknown method of 0

 

updated code:

require 'Mail.php';

			$recipients = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com';

			$headers['From']    = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com';
			$headers['To']      = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com';
			$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';

			$body = 'Test message';

			$params['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/lib/sendmail';

			// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
			$mail_object &= Mail::factory('sendmail', $params);
			$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
