Can someone help me install and configure Pear so that I can send emails using php scripts on a Suse 11.2 LAMP server?
Just install the php5-pear package.
But pear is not a mail package. Rather it’s an application for installing and managing PHP extension packages. Think of it as like a zypper for PHP apps. So you will have to tell pear which package from the PEAR repository (nothing to do with openSUSE, or even Linux, this is a PHP repository) you want to install.

is it not available to install via YaST? (you don’t mention which
operating system you are using, so it is hard to tell what you might
need)…
if not available in the normal four YaST repos (oss, non-oss, update
and packman), there are several packages available via search at
http://software.opensuse.org/ or http://packages.opensuse-community.org/
i don’t know it to be true but i suppose whatever package you get will
have all the documentation you need to configure Pear for your system
and needs…
while waiting for more specific help in this forum you might find
exactly what you need as already been covered in these fora or wiki if
you look through these: http://tinyurl.com/337k7qm

if not there might be help on the web, outside of openSUSE here:

if you need more, just holler…they may be someone around here with
some Pear experience, i don’t know…

I did mention in my post that I am running Suse 11.2. I did install php5-pear from yast.
All I want to do is have a php script that sends an email from my web server and can’t seem to get help from anybody. Pear offers no forum to get answers from. I read about sendmail() vs mail() but can’t find any information on setting it up or using it…
I’ve been banging my head against the wall for 3 weeks now and am my wits end over this. Can anyone please help without posing more riddles?
A quick search found a wiki page about how to install and use the Pear Mail extension.
