[MrToasty]

Any notable advantages to this function over the use of php mailing?

EDIT: Got it working. Now people on AOL can get e-mail notifications and I can stop getting returned mail notices. Thanks.

Inittally without trying your code, I would get this running VB diag:

SMTP: localhost
sendmail_from: me@localhost.com
sendmail_path: None

My hoster won't let me touch the php.ini.

I grabbed your script, followed it verbatim, and now I get this

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: errormessage() in H:\hshome\wiltechs\basementreview.com\forums\inclu des\mail.php on line 235

Here is my line 235

return errorMessage("Unexpected response from SMTP server");

help!!!!

Are you sure thats there by default? if you follow the directoions to the tooth they work just fine.

I am positive. I went further and added the vboptions part like so in the mail.php file:

var $smtpHost = "mail.myserver.com";
var $smtpPort = 25;
var $smtpUser = $vboptions[webmasteremail];
var $smtpPass = "password";
var $smtpSocket = null;

Now, I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in H:\hshome\wiltechs\basementreview.com\forums\inclu des\mail.php on line 96


This is line 96 : var $smtpUser = $vboptions[webmasteremail];

Put in an actual e-mail address instead of the vb code.
