#17322 [Fbk]: mail() fails (501 Syntax Error) under latest CVS

ID: 17322 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: chris@dvdplaza.com.au Status: Feedback Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-05-20 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-02 19:14:41] chris@dvdplaza.com.au What's an MTA? We've since reverted again to PHP 4.2.1, and left it there (with a cookie workaround) as the mail issue was crippling a major promotion we are currently running. We've had no further mail issues - so definitely specific to 4.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-02 11:44:19] mfischer@php.net I've gone through the code and I'm unable to reproduce the problem. What kind of MTA are you using? Do you have another, simple example which used to work in < 4.3 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-22 21:12:55] chris@dvdplaza.com.au BLOODY COMPUTERS!!! PHP 4.2.1's mail handling is fine as I originally said, the reason I was missing mail yesterday was due to IE on my Mac not refreshing the pages I was constantly reloading. Mail is flowing through just fine and refreshing one of my forms via my PC causes a mail every time. So it's what I originally said - mail fails under PHP 4.3.dev but works under PHP 4.2.1. Sorry for the confusion... argh!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-22 08:33:53] chris@dvdplaza.com.au Mail has been better throughout the day, certainly not perfect (lots of messages missing) but at least PHP 4.2.1 is able to get SOME mail out as opposed to PHP 4.3.dev. Unfortunately by reverting back the cookie problem with 4.2.x is again causing us hell :\ I've been doing some reading around and found that mail under Win32 with PHP has always been a little screwy - will be great to finally have that improved, to the benefit of all PHP users. I appreciate your time is short and valuable, I'll do whatever I can to make your efforts worthwhile (you into DVD?). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-22 03:17:13] mfischer@php.net The win32/mail() implementation suffers some inherent problems. I'll see what I can do, but being busy right now, this can take until next weekend. Assigning to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
