Why am i getting this error?

[KeithF]

So, first off i am completely new to PHP, i am more into the design side of web development. I have a client that is needing an email form with a upload file script. Currently i am getting this error;

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 RCPT first (#5.5.1) in D:\Hosting\5080907\html\englishlaundry\send-email-form.php on line 27

We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify [email protected]

Here is my code;

 

<?php
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Approval";
$to = $_REQUEST['sendto'] ;
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ;
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "Web Contact Data";

$fields = array();
$fields{"Name"} = "Name";
$fields{"Company"} = "Company";
$fields{"Email"} = "Email";
$fields{"Project ID"} = "Project ID";
$fields{"Comments"} = "Comments";

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }

$headers2 = "From: [email protected]";
$subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us";
$autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible. If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact us at";

if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";}
else {
if($name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";}
else {
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
if($send)
{header( "Location: http://www.stealthstyledesigns.com/englishlaundry.com/englishlaundry/thanks.html" );}
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify [email protected]"; }
}
}
?>

 

The $autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible. If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact us at"; is working, but i am not receiving an email at the send to email.

 

You will probably have to explain this to me in layman's terms as this is the first time i have tried this. I am sure it is something simple. Thanks in advance for any help.

An SMTP 503 error is a "mail server requires authentication" error.

 

If you're unfamiliar with how to authenticate, give this link a look:

Ok so i read through most of the Pear download instructions and i do not understand where to place the Pear folder i downloaded. Told you i was new at this! Can someone help me out with this, please.

I'm still kind of lost on how to implement this system. Do i place the pear folder in the root folder through dreamweaver or do i place it somewhere on the server itself through my control panel?
