PEAR Mail.php

[sorvigolova3]

Hello! I'm trying to use PEAR mail functionality on my site but it seems like the PEAR Mail is not installed on free accounts by default. How can I install additional PEAR packages?

Yes you have to install it manually..

Previous Thread on installing PEAR on x10hosting that should be a good guide.

Hi!
Thanks for your help guys!
I have installed pear and mail package but when I try to send email from my site I got an error

 <p>Failed to connect to  mail.autopia.x10hosting.com:25 
     [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: fsockopen() 
     [<a href='function.fsockopen'>function.fsockopen</a>]: 
     unable to connect to  mail.autopia.x10hosting.com:25 
     (php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: 
     Name or service not known) (code: -1, response: )]</p>

What I'm doing wrong?
BTW I have tried to use another smtp server and I got the same error. But when I test my code on my PC localy using this remote smtp server everithing works fine.

fsockopen() is disabled on the free servers for security reasons. Maybe posting a thread in third-party script section of these forums will help you with a solution.


Edit: Disregard my advice. It turns out that I was mistaken and wrong.

Wrong.

<?php
    function getTheNews() {
 
$fp = fsockopen("www.cnn.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
    $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    $out .= "Host: www.cnn.com\r\n";
    $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
    fwrite($fp, $out);
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        echo fgets($fp, 128);
    }
    fclose($fp);
}
}
 
    getTheNews() ;
?>

works when I run it from Chopin.

Haven't done socket programming in awhile, but the key error seems to be

unable to connect to mail.autopia.x10hosting.com:25
(php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed:
Name or service not known) (code: -1, response: )]

in the address somehow or maybe with the DNS lookup

I'm thinking that it is disabled or ports are blocked... atleast on Absolut... I have code that is in production on another web server that works fine but on here I get a timeout with fsocketopen()...

Edit:

Edit:

Did you try my code from your account? That will tell you if fsockopen is disabled (since Port 80 is not blocked). Then, if it fails on other ports, it is an issue with ports being blocked, not fsockopen.
