smtp authantication

[munno]

Hi all,

 

I am a newbie to PHP world and just began to explore into it. I have created one website for our community (not for profit) using free software. There is a "forgot password" function which emails user details. Unfortunately, it only works with inbuilt mail function of PHP. My host does not support this and they need SMTP authentication and support PEAR mail extension or PHPMailer. Below is the code and I need to change it so that it works with PEAR extension or PHPMailer with SMTP authentication.

 

Can someone please help me to fix code.

 

<?php
require('connection.php');
require_once('users.php');
require_once('functions.php');
$err_string = "";
@session_start();
if (isset($_POST["act"])) {
    $emailrequest = qsrequest("email");
    $header_body   = "";
    $header_body .= " Header for body E-mail\n";
    $footer_body   = "";
    $footer_body .= " Footer for body E-mail\n";
    $msg_success   = "";
    $msg_success .= " <center>Successfully sent E-mail.</center>\n";
    $msg_success   .= "<br><br><a href=\"javascript:self.history.back();\">Go Back </a>";
    $str_emailfrom = "me@me.org";
    $str_subject = "Your Password Reminder Request.";
    $str_emailcc = "";
    $str_emailbcc = "";
    $str_replyto = "you@you.org";
    $email_priority = "3"; // 1 = High , 3 = Normal, 5 = Low
    $userlevel = 0;
    $ifound = 0;
    $emailrequest = qsrequest("email");
    $sql = "";
$sql .= "  SELECT `User_Name` , `User_Password` , `User_Level` , `User_Email` FROM `table`\n";
    $sql .= " WHERE ";
    $sql .= "User_Email = '" . $emailrequest . "'";
    if(!$result = @mysql_query($sql)){
        $err_string .= "<strong>Error:</strong> while connecting to database<br>" . mysql_error();
    }else{
        $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
        $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
        $ifound = $num_rows;
    }
    if ($ifound > 0) {
        $str_body = "";
        $str_body = $str_body . $header_body . "\n\n" . "User name : " . $row[0] . "\n" . "Password : " . $row[1]  . "\n\n" . $footer_body;
        $str_emailto = $emailrequest;
        $header  = "";
        $header  = "From:".$str_emailfrom."\r\n";
        $header .= "Reply-to:".$str_replyto."\r\n";
        $header .= "Cc:".$str_emailcc ."\r\n";
        $header .= "Bcc:".$str_emailbcc ."\r\n";
        $header .= "X-Priority : ".$email_priority."\n";
        $success = @mail($str_emailto, $str_subject, $str_body, $header);
        if (!$success) {
            print "<br><br><font color=\"FF0000\"><center><center>Cannot send your E-mail.</center></center></font>";
        } else { //' Successfully send email
            print $msg_success;
        }
    } else {
            print "<br><br><font color=\"FF0000\"><center>Sorry, E-mail not found!</center></font>";
    }
}
?>

 

I was told to use this example (http://www.mdwebhosting.com.au/support/wiki/index.php/HOWTO_SMTP_PHP). I tried just replacing header, body etc. tags but then they are also referenced into the sql component at the bottom of code and that is where I got lost. I could replace them too but have no idea of integrity of code.

 

Please help me and/or point me into right direction.
