Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-09 11:28:57] trani at softwareplanet dot net Description: ------------ It seems that using php from command line (not calling it via web and then passing via apache and htaccess) the ini_set directive with sendmail_path doesn't work: ini_set is ignored Reproduce code: --------------- echo "<? ini_set('sendmail_path', '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f autoreply@mydomain.it'); mail ('test@mydomain.com','test','test'); ?>" | php Expected result: ---------------- the email received should have the return_path set to autoreply@mydomain.it Actual result: -------------- the email received has the default return_path (username@severname). Where can I set this value (sendmail_path) when I execute a script directly from the command line? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40074&edit=1
