Need Help with Contact Form with SMTP Authentication

Hello DP Members

I need help regarding contact form.
I need php code to send email through contact form.

My web administrator is not allowing me to send email without authentication.
I need PHP code to send email with SMTP Authentication.

I am not familiar with SMTP at all.

Thanks for your Help!

 

Do you have ssh access to the server, or are you able to install PEAR modules?

 

I think I have ability to install Pear Modules.

 

http://pear.php.net/package/Mail

This is a good pear package that will allow you to use smtp with php.

Here's some simple instruction on how to use it: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-php-send-email-via-smtp-authentication.html

 

I assume you can't simply call the mail function from your PHP like this?

mail($to, $subject, $body)
