The cformsII 10.1 plug-in is designed for PHP 5 and will not work with PHP 4.3 until it’s updated. If you’re trying to use the cformsII 10.1 plug-in with wordpress and you’re not having any luck getting it to email, then you might not have PHP 5 on your webserver.  If you do have PHP 5 and you’re still not having any luck then this isn’t the place for you.

If your webserver is running PHP 4.x then the cformsII 10.1 plug-in needs to be updated to work with PHP 4.  There are two files in the wp-content/plugins/cforms/phpmailer directory that you must update:

• class.phpmailer.php
• class.smtp.php

Open the files in your favorite text editor and change all of the variables from “public”/”private” to “var” and remove the access specifiers on all of the functions, including the static.

Example:

  public $Priority          = 3;
becomes
  var $Priority             = 3;

  private $smtp            = NULL;
becomes
  var $smtp                = NULL;

For functions:

  public function IsSMTP()
becomes
  function IsSMTP()

  private static function RFCDate()
becomes
  function RFCDate()

It’s very simple to do and it will get your cformsII mailer working with PHP 4.x.
