I want to use gmail server to send emails for this reason. How can i implement the php script to send emails using smtp server authentication? Also i have learnt that it uses pear package for email to send emails. How can I know that pear is installed on my remote server. The server doenot allow me to view php info()? Please help...

Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page

I think it will be helpful.

I use Pear Mail with SMTP is very easy, and you can see some examples

$_mailbox        =   Mail::factory('smtp', array( 
  'host'         => 'smtp.gmail.com', 
  'auth'         =>  FALSE, 
  'username'     => 'username@gmail.com', 
  'password'     => 'smtp_password', 
  'persist'      =>  FALSE  ));

Sorry i don'r read all question, you can't know if you have pear in server, why not send email or ticket to support ?

PHPMailer is a very good PHP library to send e-mails. You may just install the files into your own area, no administrator action is necessary.
