Using PHPMailer

[ykonar]

Hello

 

I am trying to email using mail() in my php script but it did not work.  After reading a few forums I've noted that i should be using PHPMailer...so i downloaded it.  Its now sitting on my C drive...and i have no idea how to use it.  I have read the sourceforge page but it doesnt make much sense to me.

 

Where should the downloaded file be saved on my computer?

How do i integrate it in wamp?

And how do i use it?

 

Please help.  Thanks

Look at these two tutorials to help you unpack the files: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/130/0.php  and  http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html.  You'll need to make sure your php.ini file is modified to be able to initiate the class.phpmailer.php file and these two should help you do that.  Testing using the basic examples from either will let you know if you've successfully done everything neccessary to send email with phpmailer.

 

Hope that helps.
