Newbie to PHP & PEAR here. Have upgraded to the latest version of Mail via command line: 'pear upgrade-all' When I type 'pear list' at the command line - I see that Mail 1.1.4 is there. I simply enter the following code that I cut and pasted in from the docs: <?php include('Mail.php'); $recipients = 'bobm@mydomain.com';
$headers['From']    = '<ScheduleRequest@adomain.com>';
$headers['To']      = 'bobm@mydomain.com';
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message'; $body = 'Test message'; //$params['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/lib/sendmail'; // Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method //$mail_object =& Mail::factory('sendmail', $params); $mail_object =& Mail::factory('mail'); $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body); ?> Now, the strange thing here is that I'm getting the following error when I run this page: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in pathtofile/ScheduleMail.php on line 4 WHY is it failing on line 4? Is the include not working??? Sorry for my denseness here - but it feels like the include isn't working which doesn't make any sense to me since I can do all of the pear commands on the prompt. Note that I'm running on Mac OSX (BSD Unix) I have also updated 'include_path = ' in the php.ini file. Line in php.ini reads 'include_path = ".:/php/includes:/usr/lib/php" Can anybody please help clue me in??? Appreciate any help someone could provide. Thanks...Bob Bob McCormick
