shadiadiph Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi i have just changed hosts and sendmail is active in php but doesn't work without smtp authentication they don't seem to have any PEAR packages just wondering if anyone knows how to define this in the mail(); function or if it is possible to define the $params for smtp host: port: username: password: ?? $send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $header, $params); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/203986-how-to-send-smtp-values-in-mail/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabaR Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I suggest using SwiftMailer: http://swiftmailer.org/docs/sending-quickref Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/203986-how-to-send-smtp-values-in-mail/#findComment-1068385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadiadiph Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Thanks I have had a look at it but looks like it just sends plain text messages I have to find a work around this that can include html css and attachments from the first glance it might work I will give it a go I have so many email templates already set up and working is there really no way to send the smtp login through mail() if not is there another work around in php or does anyone know of a good smtp server reference guide where I can study what the server asks for when you call it as I am sure this could be done another way if need be with fsockopen and fputs and fgets for the server response.

dabaR Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I would just like to add that SwiftMailer is not hard to use, well-documented, robust enough to meet pretty much anyone's needs, and can of course send attachments.
