How could I add SMTP Authentication into my email script

How could I add SMTP Authentication into my email script?

Basically this email script gets sent using PHP Mail() but i am wanting it to get sent by using googlemail's smtp outgoing mail servers instead, i have read up on this and i know it is possible.

Some examples are below:
http://www.codewalkers.com/c/a/Email...-Email-Script/
http://support.webecs.com/KB/a390/ph...ntication.aspx

But i want to know how i could integrate it with the script i already have:

Code:

<?php

    $to="ryan.fitton@googlemail.com";

    $sub="Email From Website";

    // set the default timezone to use. Available since PHP 5.1
    date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

    $Date = date("d M Y");

    $Time = date("h:i A");

$msg .="
	<html>
	<body>
	<p style='color:#000000;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;'>
	You have received an automated email.
	<br/><br/>
	This message was sent on the $Date at $Time
	<br/><br/>
	--------------------------------------
	<br/>
	Message text goes here....
	</p>
	</body>
	</html>
";

$headers[]  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0';
$headers[] = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' ;
$headers[] = 'From:ryan.fitton@googlemail.com';

	// the implode is because each line has to be separated by an return space (part of the RFC)
    $mail=mail($to,$sub,$msg, implode("\r\n", $headers));

    if($mail)

    {

        echo "Mail successfully sent";

    }

    else

    {

        echo "Sorry could not sent";

    }

?>

This email script that i already have is being automatically run every Friday by CRON.

I would recommend creating a function that uses google called gmail() and defining that as you found in the examples. Then just replace mail() with gmail().
