Re: mail and installation

Hi, you should install the packages via the PEAR-installer, if possible. And if your installer is set up correctly it will automatically know where to put the files. Try "pear config-show" at the prompt, which will show you the directory to which files from PEAR-packages will be installed. After installing Mail you will find a mail.php in that directory and also a subdirectory "Mail" from there with maybe several other files. All you need to do is require_once('Mail.php'); and then use the class :-)) You can find an introduction on the functionality of Mail in the official PEAR manual at the PEAR website. If you have additional questions please feel free to mail to the list. Hope it helps ... Good luck.
