First I wanted to Thanks RiggsFolly for the help, guidance and patience shown while I was researching options for setting up my server. WAMPServer turned out to be a fantastic choice. Easy to setup and configure. Once I worked out the differences in codeing PHP5 for for MySQL5 everything fell together quickly. Great Job !!

My ultimate goal is to create a automated mime email sender taking emails from my local DB and sending them BCC.

Research has shown that there are bascially 2 ways to accomplish this.

The easiest method seems is to create a php class SMTPmail. The code is already written. With some editing of the class file, the php.ini and the selection of Apache modules, be able to write the code to do the sending

The other way I've found is to install PEAR which seems to be more flexible in accomplishing my goal but more also more complicated.

All thoughts are welcome

Thanks

Have a look at phpMailer. Its a php library that creates a php class.

You fill in the relevant parameters and off you go.

Okay, excuse my idkwidness but I searched the wamp folder and i got zero results on phpMailer so I guess it's not included with the WampServer package. I googled it and only found examples of code but no library. The code below is the class I had found along with an SMTPconfig.php and index (form) php.
Is this what you suggested?? Thanks

SMTPclass.php
SMTP mail sending class.
/*<?php
class SMTPClient
{

function SMTPClient ($SmtpServer, $SmtpPort, $SmtpUser, $SmtpPass, $from, $to, $subject, $body)
{

$this->SmtpServer = $SmtpServer;
$this->SmtpUser = base64_encode ($SmtpUser);
$this->SmtpPass = base64_encode ($SmtpPass);
$this->from = $from;
$this->to = $to;
$this->subject = $subject;
$this->body = $body;

if ($SmtpPort == ""
{
$this->PortSMTP = 25;
}
else
{
$this->PortSMTP = $SmtpPort;
}
}

function SendMail ()
{
if ($SMTPIN = fsockopen ($this->SmtpServer, $this->PortSMTP))
{
fputs ($SMTPIN, "EHLO ".$HTTP_HOST."\r\n";
$talk["hello"] = fgets ( $SMTPIN, 1024 );
fputs($SMTPIN, "auth login\r\n";
$talk["res"]=fgets($SMTPIN,1024);
fputs($SMTPIN, $this->SmtpUser."\r\n";
$talk["user"]=fgets($SMTPIN,1024);
fputs($SMTPIN, $this->SmtpPass."\r\n";
$talk["pass"]=fgets($SMTPIN,256);
fputs ($SMTPIN, "MAIL FROM: <".$this->from.">\r\n";
$talk["From"] = fgets ( $SMTPIN, 1024 );
fputs ($SMTPIN, "RCPT TO: <".$this->to.">\r\n";
$talk["To"] = fgets ($SMTPIN, 1024);
fputs($SMTPIN, "DATA\r\n";
$talk["data"]=fgets( $SMTPIN,1024 );
fputs($SMTPIN, "To: <".$this->to.">\r\nFrom: <".$this->from.">\r\nSubject:".$this->subject."\r\n\r\n\r\n".$this->body."\r\n.\r\n";
$talk["send"]=fgets($SMTPIN,256);
//CLOSE CONNECTION AND EXIT ...
fputs ($SMTPIN, "QUIT\r\n";
fclose($SMTPIN);
//
}
return $talk;
}
}
?>*/

Come on.

google 'phpMailer' and the first result is [phpmailer.worxware.com]

Yes, I followed that link. I appeared as an ad. I didn't follow the link further. Sorry.

If you know what you're doing, it's easy. If not, it looks extremely complicated. As stated in the Readme file
"Formatting email correctly is surprisingly difficult", especially if you're not familiar with all the variables.

I apologize if it seems I'm using your brain instead of mine. I don't mean to. Experience has proven that even a simple mistake can have very bad results. I'm just trying to avoid as many of them as possible

Many thanks

That link goes to the wroxware.com website.

If you are seeing an advert then maybe you browser, or possible worse, has been compromised.
