I tried installing the Pear Mail package, it is now located in 
php/PEAR/Mail, and my code is located in the htdocs. Here is the code:

require_once("Mail.php");
$mail
 = Mail::factory("mail");

$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email
 = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= 
$_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

if($_POST['submit']=="Submit")
 {
$from = "[email protected]";
$to =  $email;
$subject = 
"Comments Regarding HH Web Design Studio";
$body = "From: 
$your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n Comments:\n 
$comments";

$host = "smtp.att.yahoo.com";
$username = 
"my_user_name";
$password = "password";
$headers = array ('From' 
=> $from,
    'To' => $to,
    'Subject' => $subject);
$mail->send($to,
 $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo "<p>" . 
$mail->getMessage() . "</p>";

This is what I get: 

Fatal error:  Class 'Mail' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\Alice.Wei\web\mail.php
 on line 30

Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the 
same folder as my web folder? How can I make sure that my Pear is 
running?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,



  Just as I am exploring some of my alternatives for using the mail() in PHP, I came across a web page that one of the users on the list has provided me: http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm. Does anyone know what the Mail.php is referring to here?




<?php



require_once "Mail.php";



$from = "Sandra Sender <[email protected]>";



$to = "Ramona Recipient <[email protected]>";



$subject = "Hi!";



$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";



?>



If it is something from PEAR package, why isn't it necessary for it to specify the path to that code?

Can it tell by itself?



Thanks for your help.
