Fatal error: Class 'Mail_mime' not found in /home/fhlinux198/i/ian.no1net.co.uk/user/htdocs/send-email-form.php on line 85

does that mean pear isn't installed

hernst42

no it means you included the PEAR files the wrong way.
Try
include_once 'Mail.php';
include_once 'Mail/mime.php';

PHP will go through the include_path and try to find Mail.php as
./Mail.php
/usr/share/pear-php5/Mail.php

noi still getting the warnings and then fatal error class 'mail_mime' not found
I don't think its installed as its a subdomain of a reseller account at fasthosts
I dont have shell access so I cannot install it

If you donÄt need to use the PEAR installation of your hoster.
Read COMPLETLY http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.shared.php special the second topic

I dont think I can its a fasthost account and I found out pear is installed because I dit the following
<?php
require_once 'System.php';
var_dump(class_exists('System'));
require_once 'PEAR.php';
var_dump(class_exists('PEAR'));

phpinfo ();
?>

And I get
bool(true) bool(true)
which means pear is installed
but I found out pear is installed with php
so I did

<?php
/* $path = "/usr/local/bin/pear";
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path); */
require_once 'System.php';
var_dump(class_exists('System'));
require_once 'PEAR.php';
var_dump(class_exists('PEAR'));
require_once 'Mail.php';
var_dump(class_exists('Mail'));
require_once 'Mail/mime.php';
var_dump(class_exists('mime'));
phpinfo ();
?>

and I get
bool(true) bool(true) bool(false) bool(false)
so how can I fix that

hernst42

You can't fix this. PEAR is installed, but not Mail_Mime. You need to put those files/Classes via ssh/ftp/.. to the server in your own directory or use your own PEAR-instllation as descibed in the pear manual

why though if pear is installed why do I get a fatal class error on Mail_mime
I have another sendmail script that uses mail() and that works on the server with no problem without include_once
so the path is correct. It just doesn't work with attachments as the fifth element in mail() is set by fasthost to be a username on their servers

mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, "From: $fromadd", "-f".$fromadd );
where normally it would be
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, "From: $fromadd", $attachment );

hernst42

Mail_mie is not part of the default pear installation and also has nothing to do with the php build in function mail. If you need attachemnt use
http://swiftmailer.sf.net or
http://phpmailer.sf.net
