#20979 [Opn->Fbk]: php.ini not being read...

ID: 20979 Updated by: philip@php.net -Summary: sendmail_from,SMTP and other valuse in php.ini not being read... Reported By: olesoft at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows XP Pro. PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-12-12 (dev) New Comment: Please have a look at bug #16111 and see if it helps solve this problem: http://bugs.php.net/16111 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-13 16:51:47] captainwtg at yahoo dot com I submited a bug <a href="http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23601">(23601)</a> which is similiar, but different operating system (I'm using Windows 2003 Server.) Also I have my system on the F drive instead of C. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? So any fixes...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-13 07:18:49] olesoft at hotmail dot com unfortunately I am sure, I checked it in the command prompt as well as looking in the folder in windows explorer, before I posted this report I turned on "show extensions for known file types" the minute I installed XP. I do wish the solutions was something that simple though :) As of tonight I will just write a new file and include it in all my PHP scripts with all the php.ini settings as ini_set("X","X"); commands which should work fine, just that it is rather tedious. I am curious, is there a way I can use the "enable document footer" feature in iis to add this file automatically to only .PHP files? -Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-13 02:31:32] sniper@php.net Are you absolutely sure that the php.ini is not in fact 'php.ini.ini' like happened in #20753 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-12 20:55:16] olesoft at hotmail dot com I know that this problem has been reported before... in fact many many times before, but I have tried other peoples solutions to it with no success. I recently recieved this error from the "Phorm" Script, an excelent form processor/result-emailing script with tons of features: here is a link to it on my server: http://67.80.121.68:8001/feedback.htm (this site is just a mock up desgin I made for a me and my friend's joke company btw :) ERROR 090 - There has been an error, and your information has not been sent. Alerts: 105 - Mail function failed on user email for template ./feedbackemail.txt. 105P: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing 111 - Mail function failed on sending alerts. 111P: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing after reading this is checked my php.ini file for my 'SMTP', and 'sendmail_from' settings: they were correct plus the fact that the phorm script provides a from address on its own. so to amuse myself I simply retyped my SMTP and sendmail_from settings then resaved the file. I then restarted IIS' services and tried again and recieved the same error. next, restarted the whole machine tried again and got the same error. at this point, somewhat annoyed, I made a file doh.php with <?php phpinfo(); ?> being its only contents browsed to it in my web browser: http://67.80.121.68:8001/sharedocs/doh.php and it shows that my path for php.ini is correct, but shows: Directive | Local Value | Master Value sendmail_from | no value | no value SMTP | localhost | localhost next as a test I added the following lines to doh.php: ini_set("SMTP","mail-hub.optonline.net"); ini_set("sendmail_from","midimann@optonline.net"); mail("olesoft@hotmail.com","testing","testing"); this worked and I recieved an email... also phpinfo() showed the following: Directive | Local Value | Master Value sendmail_from | midimann@optonline.net | no value SMTP | mail-hub.optonline.net | localhost At this point I have no idea what to do in order to not have to ad ini_set() commands to all of my emailing php scripts any explanations would be extremely appreciated. PS: i understand that this is a duplicate report and am sorry also: i am running ASP, ActivePERL, and PHP under iis. as well as a mysql server. could something in that combo be causing this problem? -best reguards Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20979&edit=1
