A:The Solution assumes that you’ve already installed the latest WAMPSERVER

Go to the PHP installation directory(this is C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6 on my machine) and run the go-pear.bat file.A command prompt window will be opened with the following message:

Are you installing a system-wide PEAR or a local copy?
(system|local) [system] :
Just Press Enter key.


Now it shows the message below:
Below is a suggested file layout for your new PEAR installation. To
change individual locations, type the number in front of the
directory. Type ‘all’ to change all of them or simply press Enter to
accept these locations.

1. Installation base ($prefix)                   : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6
2. Temporary directory for processing            : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\tmp
3. Temporary directory for downloads             : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\tmp
4. Binaries directory                            : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6
5. PHP code directory ($php_dir)                 : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\pear
6. Documentation directory                       : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\docs
7. Data directory                                : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\data
8. User-modifiable configuration files directory : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\cfg
9. Public Web Files directory                    : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\www
10. Tests directory                               : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\tests
11. Name of configuration file                    : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\pear.ini
12. Path to CLI php.exe                           : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\.
1-12, ‘all’ or Enter to continue:

Check the paths once and again press enter

This will install the PEAR package and shows the following messages:

******************************************************************************WARNING! The include_path defined in the currently used php.ini does not contain the PEAR PHP directory you just specified:Would you like to alter php.ini <C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini>? [Y/n] :

Press N, as pressing Y doesn’t edit the actual php.ini file that will be used by WAMPServer.

This will display the following:

Please look over your php.ini file to make sure
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-1\pear is in your include_path.
Current include path           : .;C:\php5\pear
Configured directory           : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-1\pear
Currently used php.ini (guess) : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini

Press Enter to continue:

The ‘pear’ command is now at your service at c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-1\pear.bat

** The ‘pear’ command is not currently in your PATH, so you need to
** use ‘c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-1\pear.bat’ until you have added
** ‘C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-1? to your PATH environment variable.

Run it without parameters to see the available actions, try ‘pear list’
to see what packages are installed, or ‘pear help’ for help.

For more information about PEAR, see:

http://pear.php.net/faq.php
http://pear.php.net/manual/

Thanks for using go-pear!

Now, you’ve successfully installed basic PEAR package. To actually see the package in work, first of all you’ve to edit your ini file. So open the c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini file and search for

; Windows: “\path1;\path2?
;include_path = “.;c:\php\includes”

modify it to:

; Windows: “\path1;\path2?
include_path = “.;c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-1\PEAR”

In c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-1, copy the file pear.bat to C:\WINDOWS\system32. Alternatively you can add C:\wamp\php to your windows PATH environment variable to expose this file globally. This step helps you to run the pear commands directly from the DOS with out traversing to the exact path every time.

Ok, now restart apache and goto command and type pear . If you see a message similar to the one below, then your PEAR installation is successful other wise…go through the steps above and check for any errors:

Ok. Now, on to the MAIL package installation. To install the PEAR mail package, all that you’ve to do is open the command prompt and type pear install –alldeps mail.

This installs the PEAR::Mail package with all the dependencies.

To test the installation, type pear list on command prompt and you should see the message as below:

INSTALLED PACKAGES, CHANNEL PEAR.PHP.NET:
=========================================
PACKAGE          VERSION STATE
Archive_Tar      1.3.2   stable
Auth_SASL        1.0.2   stable
Console_Getopt   1.2.3   stable
Mail             1.1.14  stable
Net_SMTP         1.3.2   stable
Net_Socket       1.0.9   stable
PEAR             1.7.1   stable
Structures_Graph 1.0.2   stable

That’s it…you’re ready to send mails using PHP pear package. Here is a starter example:

?php
require_once “Mail.php”;

$from = “sender<sender@yourdomain.com>”;
$to = “reciever <reciever@recieverdomain.com>”;
$subject = “Hi!”;
$body = “Hi,\n\nHow are you?”;

$host = “smtp.yourdomain.com”;
$username = “sender@yourdomain.com”;
$password = “senderpassword”;

$headers = array (’From’ => $from,
‘To’ => $to,
‘Subject’ => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory(’smtp’,
array (’host’ => $host,
‘auth’ => true,
‘username’ => $username,
‘password’ => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo(”<p>” . $mail->getMessage() . “</p>”);
} else {
echo(”<p>Message successfully sent!</p>”);
}
?>

Please note that naming this file as mail.php will cause error saying that class Mail is undefined on line 16. So take care that you’ve named it something else.

To send mail using SSL authentication, you’ve to take some extra steps after the above.

1. Check that php_openssl.dll exists in the ext folder.
2. check: PHP.ini - extension=php_openssl.dll extension is enabled.

Now the code needs extra arguments to be passed. Let’s assume we want to use a Google mail account:

$host = ’ssl://smtp.gmail.com’;
$username = ‘user@googlemail.com’;
$password = ‘pw’;

$headers = array (
‘From’ =&gt; $from,
‘To’ =&gt; $to,
‘Subject’ =&gt; $subject
);
$smtp = Mail::factory(
’smtp’,
array (
‘host’ =&gt; $host,
‘IDhost’ =&gt; “gmail.com”,
‘port’ =&gt; 465,
‘auth’ =&gt; true,
‘username’ =&gt; $username,
‘password’ =&gt; $password
)
);

$mail = $smtp-&gt;send($to, $headers, $body);

Post a comment if you still have some problems.

cheers,

ravi.
