SMTP Authentication with PHP?
I am building a PHP web application and I need to be able to send emails from my website. The webhost that I%26#039;m using (Dreamhost) requires SMTP authentication to send emails, so I can%26#039;t use the standard mail() function. I was looking at the PEAR package a little bit, but wouldn%26#039;t that need to be installed on my webhost%26#039;s server to be used? Is there a relatively simple solution that doesn%26#039;t require installing entire packages and programs to get the job done?

I haven%26#039;t directly asked Dreamhost if they require authentication, but when I try using the mail(), the error that is being generated says that the server requires authentication.
