<?php  

require("class.phpmailer.php"); // path to the PHPMailer class

$mail = new PHPMailer();  

$mail->IsSMTP();  // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Mailer = "smtp";
$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "[email protected]"; // SMTP username

Pran,

Did you edit the php.ini by putting that gmail server where it says smtp?

search for smtp, it should be under mail function, and the one says smtp = ". put your code below after that equal sign and your port under neath it.

ssl://smtp.gmail.com

465

And is there a reason why you have to use the phpmailer class? to me its much simpler to use the mail function. I've been sending out tons of email just using the mail function.

let me know if it works
