I added following code after pclose(). ... fprintf(sendmail, "\n%s\n", message); ret = pclose(sendmail); // start of debuging code php_error(E_WARNING, "%d,%d,%s", ret, errno, strerror(errno)); // end of debuging code #ifdef PHP_WIN32 if (ret == -1) #else ... and php said [03-Jul-2002 21:54:13] PHP Warning: -1,10,No child processes in /web/ch2001/phpdocs/public/icard/test_post.php on line 11 Do you know what this mean? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 08:39:45] scpark@gen128.com Oh! I forgot one thing. My php is compiled as cgi. not mod_php. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 08:37:10] scpark@gen128.com I have same experience with my solaris box. My machine is Ultra-60 server running Solaris 8. PHP 4.2.1 and 4.1.2 occur same result. Even mail() returns empty value, test mails are posted successfully. Same code run on linux box, very well. No problem on linux. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-07 00:00:04] php-bugs@lists.php.net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is being suspended automatically.
