Message successfully sent!

Here's my code:

function submitTicket(){

     $from = "Billy Jones <billy.jones@networkroi.co.uk>";
     $to = "helpdesk <helpdesk@networkroi.co.uk>";
     $subject = "Email Test!";
     $body = "email test body";

     $host = "***";
     $username = "***";
     $password = "**********";

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

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

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

}

Can some one help me out here?

Answer 1

I asked the same question over here, and found a real solution (instead of masking errors). Read the answer to the question below for more details, but basically just follow the three edits below.

How to not call a function statically in php?

---

Find php/pear/Mail.php, go to line 74 and change:

function &factory($driver, $params = array())

to

static function &factory($driver, $params = array())

---

Also in php/pear/Mail.php go to line 253 and change:

$addresses = Mail_RFC822::parseAddressList($recipients, 'localhost', false);

to

$Mail_RFC822 = new Mail_RFC822();
$addresses = $Mail_RFC822->parseAddressList($recipients, 'localhost', false);

---

Find php/pear/PEAR.php, go to line 250 and change:

function isError($data, $code = null)

to

static function isError($data, $code = null)

Thanks for Amal for showing how to fix this!
