Not Recognizing the $mail Value

[bombardier]

I have a PHP script that I copied and modified from the
SourceForge.net website that I cannot get to work. The problem seems
to be that the value for $mail is not recognized. The script fails
at the if(!$mail-Send() ) and the unsuccessful message goes out.
Can somebody see what is wrong here? Thanks in advance.

<?
require("class. phpmailer.php") ;


$mail = new phpmailer();

$mail->IsMail();
$mail->From = "list@mydomain. com";
$mail->FromName = "List manager";
$mail->Host = "smtp.site.com" ;
$mail->Mailer = "smtp";

$dbh=mysql_conn ect ("localhost" , "mydb", "password") or die ('I cannot
connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("mydb_mytable" );
$query = "SELECT fname, lname, email from mytable";
$result = @MYSQL_QUERY($q uery);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay ($result))
{
$fullname = $row["fname"] . " " . $row["lname"];

// HTML body
$body = "Hello <font size=\"4\">" . $fullname . "</font>, <p>";
$body .= "Here's the message." <br>";
$body .= "Sincerely, <br>";
$body .= "phpmailer List manager";

// Plain text body (for mail clients that cannot read HTML)
$text_body = "Hello <font size=\"4\">" . $fullname . ", \n\n";
$text_body .= "Here's the messsage. \n";
$text_body .= "Sincerely, \n";
$text_body .= "phpmailer List manager";

$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->AltBody = $text_body;
$mail->AddAddress($ro w["email"]);

echo "The message:" . $mail. "<br>";

echo "Here's the message." . "<br>" . $body;


if(!$mail->Send())
echo "There has been a mail error sending to " .
$row["email"] . "<br>";

// Clear all addresses and attachments for next loop
$mail->ClearAddresses ();

}
?>

Good that there's only a single page on SourceForge.net and that you've
given us detailed info on class phpmailer. >:]

You claim that the problem is that $mail is not recognized, however this
is not very likely the reason. If in fact something nullified $mail,
you'd get an error saying something like you undefined method called for
non-object or something. Clearly it works, but there is something
happening with Send() that fails and your script is actually working
correctly in displaying the error message. You need to find what is
stopping Send() form sending. Does mail() work okay? Also, you should be
asking this at sourceforge forums, not here...

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll go post on the sourceforge forum.
