I get the following error when I try to post a new topic in the forum, followed by all kinds of arrays:

An error has occurred:
2 - main(PHP/Compat.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory @ /home/www/therealmsbeyond.com/forum/include/gf_showtopic.php line 52


It points to this line:

Text Formatted Code
if( !function_exists( 'str_ireplace' ))
{
    require_once( 'PHP/Compat.php' );
    PHP_Compat::loadFunction( 'str_ireplace' );
}


Does this mean my host doesn't provide this Compat.php file or that I'm missing a file? Is there a workaround?

The str_ireplace function was added for PHP5 and if your are running an earlier version of PHP, then you need the PEAR compat package installed.

Is PHP5 required to run forum plugin? I'll have to look at my host's PHP settings...

No thats why you use the compat library to provide the compatibility for older PHP4 installations.

Got ya. Okay. I got the issue resolved, so everything's great. Thanks.
I have another question, though.
I was originally trying to use SMTP to send mail out of my site. I got all the relevant information from my host and set it up in the config.php file. But for some reason it wouldn't send.
I switched to sendmail, and it works fine. The only problem is, the emails are usually marked as spam by the recipient's mail service.
I can deal with that, I suppose, but if you have any ideas as to how to get the SMTP to work, I'd greatly appreciate it.
