This could cause errors. It looks like, from below, the name of the file
is 'Config.php'. require/include arguments are CaSe Sensitive -- the
lowercase 'c' would mean it wouldn't be found and loaded.
> $headers['From'] = $Name." <".$Email.">";
> $headers['Subject'] = $Subject;
> $headers['To'] = $Recip;
> $headers['Cc'] = $Email;
An easier way to do the above would be:
$headers = array(
'From' => "$name <$Email>",
'Subject' => $Subject,
'To' => $Recip,
'Cc' => $Email
);
> require_once('Mail.php');
> $mail_object =& Mail::factory($method, $params);
> $mail_object->send($recips, $headers, $message);
> if($mail_object != 'TRUE'){
Okay, here's your error. Try the following:
$sent = $mail_object->send($recips, $headers, $message);
if (PEAR::isError($sent)) {
// Do something with the error
}
The send() method returns either 'true' or a PEAR_Error -- with true
meaning only that the message has been successfully passed on to the
mail transport agent. PEAR::isError() is a static method of the PEAR
package used for testing for errors. NOTE: the $mail_object retains its
state after the send method -- it is still a PEAR::Mail object -- which
evaluates to true ALWAYS -- which is why your code would fail at this
point.

PHP evaluates tabs and spaces as simply whitespace; these would not make
a difference.
