It may be necessary to use the above ini_set to check if this is the case.

If you need to ensure that your application does not load the classes from their location, try a: ini_set('include_path', getcwd()); //print get_include_path(); To overwrite their include_path first and ensure that it only finds your libraries.

Its inheritant support of alternate SMTP and handling of HTML means that it suits a majority of our requirements for basic packages. If we require more complex functionality we can simply extend and overwrite the required methods by extending the class PHPMailer. To learn more about PHPMailer visit their website here. If you wish to learn about setting up use of packages without requiring installation on your hosting service read here. You may wish to use this allong with encrypting the mail contents using gnuPG.

Remember, if you are using $_SESSION in your application, be careful of some of the security holes that are opened. Have a look at my discussion of Sessional Handling with PHP and read the resources I have linked to.
