Installing PEAR mail extensions?

[CameronDane]

Can someone please help me with installing or being able to use the pear mail extensions so I can send smtp emails?

Thanks!

In the cPanel under Software / Services there is a PHP PEAR Packages link to manage the extensions that you need.

I do see that pear is installed when I hit the show system installed modules link. I however do not see a mail extension when I search the extensions.

It is possible that I simply do not understand how this extension works? What do I need to do to configure it if it is installed?

If what you need is not installed by default then you can install it yourself. Note the warning about using only stable releases, no beta stuff is allowed.

You will need to know the name of the package you need and then how to use it.

Sorry, I have them installed. What do I need to do to use it now. I see a lot of stuff on config. php.ini?

can't get it to work.
./php/Mail.php calls /php/Mail/smtp.php which in turn calls php/Net/SMTP.php
but wait! Mail/smtp.php can't find Net/SMTP.php
the path must be wrong but I can't seem to fix it.

Warning: include_once(Net/SMTP.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/lib/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 206
