The mail function always return nothing, and i can't find any error message in my logs files. I tried to build php as a binary (not an apache module), and in this form the mail function works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-18 03:46:41] php@dries.plus.com Not much information to add. I have the following code: if(mail("somebody@nobody.com","subject","body","From: ...")) { echo ("success"); } else { echo ("fail"); } This always returns fail even when the email has been send successfully. I am running php 4.2.2 on Apache as module. Using default mail setup etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-17 11:46:30] sander@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
