Sending HTML message through PEAR while using SMTP authentication returns an error

Question

require_o         


        

Answer 1

Try embracing the names in double quotes, like so:

$from = '"Some Name" ';
$to = '"Other Name" ';

try it and tell us about it.

Update:
Ok, above didn't work, so I just would tell you what it's working for me in my php pages to send emails through smtp gmail.

• I use http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/
• smtp server set to smtp.gmail.com
• it uses TLS protocol in port 587

so based on that you could try to change your config to:

$host = "tls://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "587";

you can see here how to send mail through gmail with phpmailer.
