#40988 [Fbk->Opn]: Can't use a sendmail_path with whitespace

ID: 40988 User updated by: webmaster at wiedmann-online dot de Reported By: webmaster at wiedmann-online dot de -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: *Mail Related Operating System: Windows_NT PHP Version: 5.2.1 New Comment: > PHP on windows does not use sendmail for sending mails. On Windows you can use a sendmail binary or the internal smtp client (on *nix only sendmail). (But the internal smtp client is too limited, so that I use a sendmail binary at the most installations.) > Is this cygwin build? No. Standard Windows builds. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-04-05 11:22:23] edink@php.net PHP on windows does not use sendmail for sending mails. Is this cygwin build? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-04-04 01:11:33] webmaster at wiedmann-online dot de Description: ------------ If I have the sendmail binary in a path with a whitespace, PHP can't open/find this program, because the path is not quotet in the popen call (mail.c). On *nix this is not a problem, because on *nix you escape a space with a backslash (Program\ Files) and don't quote the hole path ("Program Files") like on Windows. And a backslash I can add myself in php.ini. BTW: A 8.3 name (PROGRA~1) will still work on Windows, if it's not disabled in the NTFS settings. Reproduce code: --------------- [php.ini] sendmail_path = "C:\Pogram Files\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t" <?php mail('test@example.com', 'Subject', 'Message'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Mail is send without problems. Actual result: -------------- 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40988&edit=1
