I used to get some PHP syntax errors regarding class inheritance and some class instantiations as well as undefined functions such as isSMTP() and i believe another was Delay() or something.... all that is now fixed i have PHP5.0 and Apache2.2.6 on WinXP. i used to get the fopensoc() error but not anymore I have made sure openssl is configured properly ( meaning the dll is uncommented in the php.ini file) and included host and port values in the class.smtp.php file as follows: $host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; $port = 465; i have noticed that leaving ssl:// out and keeping it in single rather than "" quotes will resolve the fopensoc() issue. Now i used to get the 60 secs had passed timed out error.. but not anymore i think it depends on the script i am using to mail the thing with.. According to the script at the top of this page i don't see anything the page goes blank and I YET TO receive an email.... please any help is greatly appreciated... thank you... stualnakib@hotmail.com Hello all;

I got this to work after a little hacking. When I copied the code from you site, the ' ended up as ` so it was trying to eval my email address. Might be a good idea to point that out? Thanks though.

I've had a bit of experience with PHP and have made the changes mentioned above and still no dice. I can configure Thunderbird to send through my account no problem, but doing it from my webserver still doesn't work. I've got SSL enabled, made sure my gmail account is configured properly and I'm getting this error: "class.smtp.php (105): fsockopen() [<a href='function.fsockopen' rel="nofollow">function.fsockopen</a>]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known." This is when it's calling fsockopen(ssl://smtp.gmail.com, 587, x, y, 10). Anyone have any other ideas?

I have downloaded the above files but I don't understand where I need them. Do I put them in the PHP directory? The changes made to the class.smtp.php I think I made correctly but now I don't know where to save that file and I don't know where to add the settings for "From" "mailer" etc. I am trying to learn how to do this and just need someone to explain a few things to help get me up to speed. I know it is asking a lot but if someone would be willing to work with me I would sure appreciate it. Kind regards, Marcus I have a local server and have installed php.

I guess the author of phpmailer does not expect people will make the string like that.

Uncomment the line extension=php_openssl.dll in the file php.ini. Then php will allow ssl. The reason we put the hack because phpmailer splits the string "ssl://smtp.google.com" into $host = "ssl" and $port = "//gmtp.google.com" with the separator ":".
