Ubuntu Install PEAR Mail for PHP / sending mail in Ubuntu via PHP

If you're getting some sort of 'php unable to load dynamic library' problem in PHP while trying to send email with PEAR/PHP on Ubuntu you'll probably need to do the following to install pear:

sudo apt-get install php-pear

sudo pear install mail

sudo pear install Net_SMTP

sudo pear install Auth_SASL

sudo pear install mail_mime

    Found this website on google. I am searching for a solution to alter the [ FRM:www-data ] header. This shows up even when using the -f option headers type. I a using php5's mail() funtions.
    mail($to,$from,$msg,$header,'-f xxx@myserver.com');

  8. It is showing this error :

    Fatal error: Class 'Net_SMTP' not found in /opt/lampp/lib/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 159

    I apply the code in my file:

    $from,
    'To' => $to,
    'Subject' => $subject);
    $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
    array ('host' => $host,
    'port' => $port,
    'auth' => true,
    'username' => $username,
    'password' => $password));

    $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

    if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
    echo($mail->getMessage());
    } else {
    echo("Message successfully sent!");
    }
    ?>
