That output doesn't make sense to me.... could you do: pear info PEAR Then try: pear upgrade PEAR

Ok, well, if upgrading PEAR didn't work or it did work but the installer still says there are no package.xml 2.0 handlers then somehting is wrong. What happens when you do: pear upgrade -a PEAR

The first lines of the install are Starting to download Mail-1.1.14.tgz (17,537 bytes) ......done: 17,537 bytes downloading Net_SMTP-1.2.8.tgz ... So maybe it's downloaded but not installed?
Did you do the upgrade-all as I asked before? You need to update
your
PEAR package.

Did you look to see if Mail.php is actually there? Did you ge it installed via the pear command?

You still get the file not found problem? Run
phpinfo();
again
(on
your webserver) and look at the php.ini and
include_path
values.
Are
they what you expect?

It needs to be named exactly as phpinfo()

The

just has the defaults in it. You should copy
it to
php.ini

change
it there. Then you need to restart apache.

Do: pear config-show and look for the php_dir line. You need to
add
that
path
to
your
include_path in your php.ini. To find your
php.ini,
put
this
in a
script (at the top) and look for php.ini: phpinfo();
Doing "which Mail.php " in Terminal also
comes
up
empty.
"which" is for finding binary commands, so
that
won't
work
for
these
kind of files. You can try using: locate Mail.php but the locate database isn't updated
right
away
and
may
not
find
it
until updatedb is re-run.

Date: Oct 18, 2006 12:06 PM Subject: Re: [PEAR] need help
with
using
Mail.php
To: papercrane@reversefold.com Hi Justin, thanks for the quick
response.
PEAR came with my php
installation,
so I
thought
everything
was
already
here. That's why I was surprised
that it
couldn't
find
Mail.php.
So
I
just
downloaded it and put it in the
directory
with
my
site.
So I
guess I
need to
download the whole PEAR package
and
do
an
install
then?
If
so,
are
there
any
precautions I need to take
concerning
other
programs
that
use
it?
Open up a terminal and type: pear help Then use it to do things like: pear install Mail Net_SMTP
Also I do have an error routine
when
calling
Mail,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
get there.
Did you try the error handling
methods
on
my
wiki?
Thanks again for your help.! PS: I've had other problems with
paths,
maybe
this
is
another
one. I
had
to
manually add the path to
mysqldump
in
Terminal
(mac
osx),
and
then
append
the PATH statement in php in
order
to do
mysqldump
from
there.
It's possible that 'pear' isn't in
your
path.
Try
the
above
and
see if
it is. include_path in PHP is
different.

Hi, I'm trying to send

I
used

use
"mail()" but noticed that if
someone
reads
the

they
can
see
information about the
webhost
that
I'd
rather
not
send,
so I
tried
Mail.php.
At first it couldn't find
the
program so
I
downloaded
it.
Then I
wrote
the
following test code: <?php require_once " Mail.php

use
PEAR 
$recipients         = "
you@mail.com"; 
$headers["From"]    = "
me@mail.com
"; 
$headers["To"]        = "
you@mail.com
"; 
$headers["Subject"]    =
"test
with
remote
host";
$body = "just testing some
more
now"; 
$params["host"]     = "
mail.me.com"; 
$params["port"]     = "25";
$params["auth"]     = true;
$params["username"]     = "
owner@me.com "; 
$params["password"]     =
"mypassword";
$mail_object =
&Mail::factory("smtp",
$params);
$mail_object =
Mail::send($recipients,
$headers,
$body);
if
(PEAR::isError($mail_object))
{ 
    echo("<p>" .
$mail_object->getMessage()
.
"</p>"); 
    }else{
    echo("<p>Message
successfully
sent!</p>"); 
    }
?> But it gives the error
"*Fatal
error*:
Call
to a
member
function
on
a
non-object in
*/mypath.com/Mail.php*
on
line
*90*".
That's where Mail calls
"function
send($recipients,
$headers,
$body)".
Help please?
A few things: 1) Did you install via the
PEAR
installer
or
by
manually
copying
the
file? You shoul dbe using the
PEAR
installer.
2) Did you install Net_SMTP?
The
smtp
backend
to
Mail
requires
this
package as well. 3) Are you checking for errors
before
usin
your
object?
Likely
the
above problems are causing an
error to
be
returned.
