PHP 5.4 and SMTP

Question

I'm trying to use the PEAR SMTP library with PHP 5.4 but I'm having the following issues when using it:

> Strict Standards: Non-static method Mail::factory() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\forgot.php on line 75

Strict Standards: Non-static method PEAR::isError() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in C:\xampp\php\pear\Mail\smtp.php on line 365

Strict Standards: Non-static method PEAR::isError() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in C:\xampp\php\pear\Net\SMTP.php on line 450

Strict Standards: Non-static method PEAR::raiseError() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in C:\xampp\php\pear\Net\SMTP.php on line 451

Strict Standards: Non-static method PEAR::raiseError() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in C:\xampp\php\pear\Mail\smtp.php on line 369

Strict Standards: Non-static method PEAR::isError() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in C:\xampp\php\pear\Mail\smtp.php on line 249

As far as I'm aware, there's no fix for this until PEAR or the creators of the PEAR scripts fix them. I'm wondering what alternative SMTP libraries people use, or just what I can do to deliver e-mail from my script via SMTP to gmail. I'm using windows, if that's of any help.

Thank you.
