Email set up SMTP

Hello,

I'm still very new to php and linux and I'm having trouble setting up my server's php to send emails.

I want to send them though my godaddy email account, via SMTP. So far nothing I've tryed works.

I modified the php.ini file under [mail function] and the sendmail_from

and i changed the class.phpmailer.php in the include folder
Public $host
Public $username
public $password

Any help I can get to make this work would be great, Thanks in advance!
