Program to send Email in Php with Authentication

PEAR Installation

PEAR is an extension for PHP. These days PEAR is included with PHP, but you need to install it yourself. I use PEAR on all my PHP developments.

Installing PEAR:

Open a command line window (i.e. Start->Run->cmd)
Go to the PHP directory, in my case C:\php. Type go-pear.bat. Follow the instructions.
The PEAR extension get installed in C:\php\PEAR directory.
Once PEAR is installed, go to the php.ini file in your Apache2 directory. Find the

Code:
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

Remove the semi-colon (to un-comment it), and then add C:\php\PEAR to it

Code:
include_path = ".;c:\php\includes;C:\php\PEAR"
;include_path = ".;C:\wamp\php\includes;C:\wamp\php\PEAR"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** The 'pear' command is not currently in your PATH, so you need to
** use 'c:\wamp\php\pear.bat' until you have added
** 'C:\wamp\php' to your PATH environment variable.

* WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES *
For convenience, a REG file is available under C:\wamp\php\PEAR_ENV.reg .
This file creates ENV variables for the current user.

Double-click this file to add it to the current user registry.
