Ok. I have used the apparently working code(the main top answer with 136 green ticks):
Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page
in my php mail script, replacing the gmail user and pass with my own... at first I got errors that PEAR, then PEAR5 could not be found... so I copied those 2 files(I downloaded from pear site) into the script's folder...
Still, script didn't work.
I added some echoes to see where it halts, and it halts at this line(I think):
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
My apache/php error log says this:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method PEAR_Error::send()`
I have googled this error and found over a dozen pages but havn't found an anwser... mostly they seem to say something about "installing pear libraries."
I have not tried installing/configuring pear on my local server.... because I do not think I can install new packages on my webhost, so I need a more portable solution:
What I mean by this is a working script, and any relative class files I can just copy all into one folder to get it working..... so I can just copy this folder to any apache/php server and it will automatically work(by refrencing the script in html form), without having to install/configure some third party package on the server.
I also tried phpmailer which gave similar problems and it seems to also require pear so I don't really see the point of experimenting with phpmailer further if I cannot get pear to even work.
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method PEAR_Error::send()
This means you didn't get a mail object but an error object, probably because logging in failed or so. Add the following to your code:
$mail = Mail::factory(..);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo $mail->getMessage() . "\n" . $mail->getUserInfo() . "\n";
die();
}
$mail->send(...);
Btw, using $searchengine to look for that error message would have given you the same answer.
As #cweiske states, adding the code provided by him will give the detailed error. In my case it is Unable to find class for driver smtpPHP Fatal error: Call to undefined m
ethod PEAR_Error::send()
So basically it attempted to include "Mail/smtp.php" and checkd for the Mail_smtp class, but was unable to find it. So either Mail/smtp.php doesn't exist, or including it did not define the Mail_smtp class.
To resolve this all you need to do is to download Pear mail from here and copy the mail folder on to your domain. that's it. your code should work without any issues.
Thanks that helped lead me to this error:
Unable to find class for driver smtp
Which led me to this page:
http://goonanism.com/blog/2010/06/08/using-pear-to-send-email-via-smtp/
which told me I needed additional files. after I added the files it worked.
Issue solved. But I think the requirement of those files should be documented better for people who want portable solutions like myself :)

I tried to implement the simplesamlphp library into my web application. But when I call the requireAuth() function I get a PHP fatal error message. Uncaught Exception: Loader: Illegal character in filename.....
It seems like he can't resolve the Class SimpleSAML\Module\saml\Auth\Source\SP
But I don't know why.
Does anyone have a idea how to fix this?
I already deleted the whole simplesamlphp installation and reinstalled it.
I use the following code:
require 'var/www/simplesamlphp/lib/_autoload.php';
$lAuthSrc = new \SimpleSAML\Auth\Simple('default-sp');
if (!$lAuthSrc->isAuthenticated()) {
$lAuthSrc->requireAuth();
}
$lAttributes = $lAuthSrc -> getAttributes();
foreach($lAttributes as $lAttribute) {
print_r($lAttribute);
}
Some additional informations:
The configured authentication source test works fine. If I login via the configured authentication source, everything works fine and I don't get any error messages (the requireAuth() function don't get called in this case).
I use the latest version of simplesamlphp v.1.18.3
If you need any more information, please let me know.
Honestly it looks like your path is messed up on the require... are you sure you should be using:
require 'var/www/simplesamlphp/lib/_autoload.php';
and not
require '/var/www/simplesamlphp/lib/_autoload.php';
Do you really have a 'var/www' subdirectory relative to the location of the script? That looks wrong to me. If you include that first / before var it makes that path absolute to the typical install location for SSP.
Thank you all for your help. I discovered this morning the issue. The issue was the autoloader which I use for my own application. I registered the application autoloader in another file which gets executed before the code you see above. And simplesamlphp uses some conditions like:
if (!class_exists($className))
And beacuse I registered my application autoloader before the function class_exists checked if the class exists in my application. In my application I don't use namespaces and this was the issue.
To fix this issue, I unregistered my application autoloader before using the simplesamlphp code and registered the autoloader again after the simplesamlphp code.
I hope this will save some of you headaches.
I am using phpseclib to do some SFTP stuff. At the moment I can't login, and I am trying to find out why. In the docs, it states I should do something like this
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'phpseclib');
include 'Net/SFTP.php';
define('NET_SFTP_LOGGING', NET_SFTP_LOG_COMPLEX);
$sftp = new NET_SFTP('***');
if(!$sftp->login('***', '***')) {
print_r($sftp->getSFTPErrors());
}
So, I need to define the type of logging in order to print out the SFTPErrors.
I am doing things differently than the above because I am using composer. So as usual, I load autoload.php. Instead of include, I make use of use e.g.
use phpseclib\Net\SFTP;
I then proceed to do something like the following
define('NET_SFTP_LOGGING', NET_SFTP_LOG_COMPLEX);
$sftp = new SFTP($config::SFTP_SERVER);
if(!$sftp->login($config::SFTP_USER, $config::SFTP_PASSWORD)) {
print_r($sftp->getSFTPErrors());
exit('Login Failed');
}
If I do this however, I get the output
Notice: Use of undefined constant NET_SFTP_LOG_COMPLEX - assumed 'NET_SFTP_LOG_COMPLEX' in ...
Array
(
)
Login Failed
So it appears that with composer, I cant define a constant in the same way, and the print out of the errors produces an empty array.
So, how can I define this constant in my composer project?
Thanks
A few of things.
If you're using the namespaced version of PHP (as evidenced by your use phpseclib\Net\SFTP;) then you're using the 2.0 branch. The documentation on the website is for the 1.0 branch. For the 2.0 branch you need to do as Félix Saparelli suggested - SSH2::LOG_COMPLEX.
That said, logging isn't going to show SFTP errors. Logging shows you the raw packets. Here's an example of what the logs produce:
http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/ssh/log.txt
You get these logs by doing $ssh->getLogs().
For the errors you don't need to enable anything - it places any errors it receives from the server into an array that it's returning to you. phpseclib does this automatically and this behavior cannot be disabled.
Also, $sftp->getSFTPErrors() is great for SFTP errors but at the login process you might be getting SSH errors and not SFTP errors. You'd get SSH errors by doing $sftp->getErrors(). The thing is... SFTP operates in a higher layer than SSH. SSH won't succeed if TCP/IP can't make a connection and SFTP won't succeed if SSH can't make a connection. So per that you ought to be checking all the layers.
Finally, it's quite possible the failure is happening for reasons for which errors would not be returned. Maybe the server requires compression, which phpseclib doesn't support. eg.
http://www.frostjedi.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=221481#p221481
I also don't know if you'd get an error if the key or password you were using was simply invalid.
Really, there could be any number of causes for an inability to connect. You could be using selinux which, by default, disables outbound connections from PHP scripts running on port 80, there could be a routing issue, etc (all of these affect fsockopen, but, in all, there are just a lot of potential causes for failure).
Overall, I'd say you're on the right track with the logs. But do $sftp->getLog() instead of $sftp->getSFTPErrors() and then include the logs in your post.
I'm trying to use the Mailgun API SDK to send emails from my test server. I downloaded the SDK itself as I am not currently using Composer.
However, when I try to instantiate a Mailgun object, I get this error:
Fatal error: Class 'Mailgun\Connection\RestClient' not found in /var/www/mysite.xyz/www/inc/libs/Mailgun/Mailgun.php on line 38
Which I fixed by adding require "Connection/RestClient.php"; to the Mailgun.php file. However, this in turn caused its own error.
Fatal error: Class 'GuzzleHttp\Client' not found in /var/www/mysite.xyz/www/inc/libs/Mailgun/Connection/RestClient.php on line 41
This is included in my includes.php, so for all pages.
#Mailgun php functions
require_once "libs/Mailgun/Mailgun.php";
use Mailgun\Mailgun;
Then, when I try to use this;
# First, instantiate the SDK with your API credentials and define your domain.
$mg = new Mailgun\Mailgun("key-myactualkey");
$domain = "myactualdomain.xyz";
print "Email to send is ".$welcomeemail; #Never gets reached
It causes those fatal errors and the program grinds to a halt.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
I had the same problem and fixed it by using composer which is easier then you might think. Just follow these instructions (locally, on your computer, where PHP should be installed):
https://github.com/mailgun/mailgun-php/blob/master/SharedHostInstall.md
Then upload all files generated to your server in a separate directory.
Then include the following lines to your script:
require 'your/path/to/these/files/vendor/autoload.php';
use Mailgun\Mailgun;
Create a new Mailgun object like this:
$mg = new Mailgun("your-secret-key");
After following the user guide instructions found here: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/cli.html I'm unable to run the test script via command line.
My controller located at /var/www/mysite/application/controllers/
class Tools extends CI_Controller {
public function message($to = 'World')
{
echo "Hello {$to}!".PHP_EOL;
}
}
In my browser I can access
http://mysite/tools/message/ben
And the function correctly outputs "Hello ben"
From terminal I should be able to run:
$ php index.php tools message "Ben"
My terminal should print: "Hello Ben"
However I get the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'CI_Controller' not found in /var/www/mysite/system/core/CodeIgniter.php on line 233
My server is pretty standard; ubuntu LAMP. Codeigniter is pretty standard too and I have no problem running non CI scripts via command line
My PHP binary is only located in /usr/bin/php <-- This post suggests an issue running CI directly from usr/bin/php, however I'm not operating a shared PHP service, and I don't see why this would make a difference to how PHP executes a CI script.
Any help or just an indication on how to debug this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Solved! (partly) the issue was CodeIgniters error logging.
In application/config/config.php, I modified the following config property:
$config['log_threshold'] = 0;
This disables logging, and allows $ php index.php to execute.
If anyone can explain why CI only shows this error on CLI PHP - might help anyone else who has this issue and needs it resolved with error logging on.
To solve error "Class 'CI_Controller' not found" try going to Application -> Config -> database.php then check the database details like hostname, username, password and database.
To Mijahn:
I had this same problem, and after about two hours of tracing through code to figure out the problem, it seems that there is some sort of conflict with loading the CI_Controller when utilizing the native PHP load_class function.
I worked around this issue by making the following changes to the Common.php file (hack, I know).
//$_log =& load_class('Log');
require_once('system/libraries/Log.php');
$_log = new CI_Log();
My logs then where created exactly like I wanted. Hope this hack helps.
This site says to run codeigniter from the command line, one must set the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] variable.
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] is usually supplied by php when a web request is made. However, since we are calling this script from the command line, we need to emulate this small part of the environment as a web request.
The answer provided in this Stack Overflow post worked for me.
Within system/core/CodeIgniter.php, on around line 75, change:
set_error_handler('_exception_handler');
to...
set_exception_handler('_exception_handler');
Other users have reported that this gave them a better backtrace with which to debug the underlying issue, but for me, this actually removed the problem altogether.
Ok here is the issue. I send an html email to my users.
I can't just send content text/html html in my headers because my host don't like it! They suggested to use SMTP.
So I had to install Pear id did. Then I had to install the Mail extension. I did.
Now I grab a code from the web to try it out and I get the error message
Fatal error: Class 'Mail' not found in /home/alain/php/Mail/mail.php on line 51
I'm calling that file with a require_once();. Now the line 51 in mail.php is
class Mail_mail extends Mail {
Its only the class statement!! The installation is brand new. The host use Cpanel
I found out that by default the Ubuntu's php-pear does not include the PEAR::Mail package. It's easily fixable, though:
pear install Mail
pear install pear/Net_SMTP
pear install pear/Auth_SASL
If that does not work, you might want to check your PEAR installation, by following this guide: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.checking.php
You need to require() the file that has the Mail class, otherwise your Mail_mail class has nothing to extend.
There is a mistake in the mail.php.
firstly make sure you require('../php/Mail/mail.php) before doing any email coding.
Then open up the php/Mail/mail.php and put the following code in before the first class:
require('../php/Mail.php')
for some reason the coding in the hasnt included this and the class Mail it extends cannot be reached.
