I contacted my domain host (IX Hosting) about setting up pear with smtp. They told me that I cannot use smtp I must used php mail. Please advise. Error can be viewed here : wci_upload.php

the link you provide goes do an upload page, I don't see an error trying to upload, the upload seams to work.

In the universal Email settings, there are 2 options for the email object:
mail
Pear Mail For SMTP

if you select mail, it uses the php mail() function.

I do have a php file I include to authenticate emails I send with other forms I have on the site.

I did select mail in UE. After attempting an upload this is the message I get...

the error is saying that the smtp server requires authentication.

the php mail() function does not support authentication. double check with your host to determine what SMTP server they offer that can be used with the php mail() function.

My isp said I can use localhost port 25 no authentication. When I did I got this error...
Warning: require_once(Mail.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\hshome\c293604\wci.ericsxpress.com\webassist\email\PEAR_Mail_using_SMTP_php.php on line 113

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Mail.php' (include_path='.;C:\Program Files\HSphere\3rdparty\PHP\PHP5\pear') in D:\hshome\c293604\wci.ericsxpress.com\webassist\email\PEAR_Mail_using_SMTP_php.php on line 113

I don't see a file called Mail.php.

Where should it be located?

in your initial message, you said the host does not support pear mail.

in the universal email settings for the mail object type, don't select the Pear Mail for SMTP option, select the mail option instead.

Apparently I can use it. This is the error I get:
Warning: require_once(Mail.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\hshome\c293604\wci.ericsxpress.com\webassist\email\PEAR_Mail_using_SMTP_php.php on line 113

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Mail.php' (include_path='.:/cgi-bin/php/PEAR') in D:\hshome\c293604\wci.ericsxpress.com\webassist\email\PEAR_Mail_using_SMTP_php.php on line 113

The PEAR_Mail_using_SMTP_php.php uses this command on line 113 - require_once($mailObj->PearPath."Mail.php");

Can I remove PearPath. and edit it to read - require_once($mailObj->"path\to\Mail.php");

in the email settings, one of the settings is the path to pear. you will need to ask your hosting company what the path to pear is, otherwise, just use the php mail() object instead, as pear is really only needed if you have to pass authentication.

That took care of it. Thank you for sticking with me through this. I really appreciate it.
