I want to send an email via php but it requires authentication, Can anyone help me out as how can I Authenticate it??

Thanks for your kind consideration.

You need to learn how to ask questions

If you mean you want to send mail with php through SMTP server that requires authentication then you can use phpmailer script for it, or something similar.

If you mean you want to send mail with php mail function but it should be sent from the page that requires authorization, then you can use apache htaccess authorization or code own authorization php script for the page. There are a lot of examples of authorization scripts on this forums or in google.

Thanks you are right........I must...

Well I want to send mail with php through SMTP server; coz the servers I am using requires authentication for sending any mail, your help would be appreciated.

As I am already trying

PHP Code:

include("Mail.php");

     $host = "webmail.mydomain.com";
     $username = "info@mydomain.com";
     $password = "*******";
$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);
     $headers.="Content-type: text/html". "charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
     
     if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
       echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
      } else {
       header('Location: ../getaquote.php?email=yes&name='.$_POST['name'].'');
       //echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
      } 


In this function I've included ("Mail.php"), but it still required PEAR.php where I can find that.

Or another way would be the best.
