Mail using SMTP server while inserting sql at same time

[farkewie]

Hi I'm having a crack at writing my own code and am a bit stuck i really a noob.

 

the form is pretty simple basicly jst an image verifcation conatct form that updated the database at the same time.

 

 

i want to use my smtp server because all my email are going in to the junk mail folder using the mail() function.

 

here is my proccess.php form

 

 

<?php require_once('Connections/test.php'); ?><?php
//register globals

$time = date("d/m/Y ", time());
$date = date("d/m/Y H:i:s", time());
$tname=$_REQUEST['tname'];
$temail=$_REQUEST['temail'];
$yname=$_REQUEST['yname'];
$yemail=$_REQUEST['yemail'];
$msg=$_REQUEST['msg'];
$cat=$_POST['cat'];
$site_name = "mysite.com";
$site_email = "test@test.com";
$site_url = "www.site.com";
$verif_box = $_REQUEST["verif_box"];
//clean html

	$msg = stripslashes($msg);  
	$tname = stripslashes($tname);  
	$temail = stripslashes($temail);  
	$yemail = stripslashes($yemail);  
	$yname = stripslashes($yname);  







// check to see if verificaton code was correct
if(md5($verif_box).'a4xn' == $_COOKIE['tntcon']){
// if verification code was correct send the message and show this page


@mysql_select_db($database_test) or die( "Unable to select database");

$query = "INSERT INTO name VALUES ('$tname','$temail','$msg','$time','$cat','$yname','$yemail','$date')";
mysql_query($query);

mysql_close();		

if ($query)
{




	$header = "From: $site_name <$site_email>\n";
	$header .= "Reply-To: $site_email\n\n";

	$from = "test@test.com";
	$to = $temail ;
	$subject = "my subject";
	$message = "text here.,\n\n";
	$message .= "$msg\n\n\n\n";
	$message .= "-------------------------\n";
	$message .= "$site_name\n";
	$message .= "$site_url\n";

$host = "mail.me.com";
$username = "user";
$password = "pass";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
 'To' => $to,
 'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
 array ('host' => $host,
   'auth' => true,
   'username' => $username,
   'password' => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $message);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
 echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
 echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}


} else {
echo "sorry didnt send email";
	}

// delete the cookie so it cannot sent again by refreshing this page
setcookie('tntcon','');
} else {
// if verification code was incorrect then return to contact page and show error
header("Location:".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."?tname=$tname&temail=$temail&yname=$yname&yemail=$yemail&wrong_code=true");
exit;
}


		//end else
//end while
?>

 

 

Now im getting this error:

 

Fatal error: Class 'Mail' not found in /home/tyspicsc/public_html/posthate/proccess_submit.php on line 67

 

its kind of a dead end for me, im in unchartered waters. im not sure on where to "define" class Mail ?

thanks in advance and any tip on the rest of the code would be appreciated - trying to learn.

Ok so ive looked at all the walkthroughs and i cant work this out??

 

can anyone give me a link to something where i can email through my smtp server?

 

when i use the mail() function it goes straight to my junk mail folders and says its fro "box2655@bluehost.com" i want it to be from "me@mysomain.com" i have set the $from but still says same thing?

 

any ideas of what to0 do would be great.

Hi

 

To be honest i have played with PEAR, but php has its own built in mailer function

 

you can use ini_set() to temporarilly change the default smtp server, and mail to send...

 

<?php
$mysmtp = "192.168.1.1"; // or whatever

ini_set("SMTP", $mysmtp);
mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
ini_restore("STMP");

 

hope that helps

cheers,
