Bug #16516 Updated: mail doesn't work with globalized vars

ID: 16516 Updated by: djlopez@mail.com Reported By: djlopez@mail.com -Status: Bogus +Status: Closed Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.4 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: just include the config.php in send.php! But thats right, it crashed too, if config.php is not included :) However, it works on Win32 systems, but on my server it wouldn't work.... It's part of an eShop, so I can't give the complete sourcecode. So, I don't think it's very important... I'll close it.

But it's really reproducible! so here's the set of files: send.php: <? include("func.php"); sendmail(); ?> func.php: <? function sendmail(){ global $mailto; mail($mailto, "Subject", "Body", "From: djlopez@gmx.de"); } ?> config.php: <? $mailto="djlopez@gmx.de"; ?> Just put this 3 files on a server in the same directory, and start "send.php" in your browser. It shouldn't work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-09 13:55:26] sander@php.net To properly diagnose this bug, we need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes.

I changed the mail-function in: mail("the@recipient.com", "Any subject", $body, "From: any@adress.com"); Now it worked fine! Dunno if its a bug, but it was difficult to catch the error! Apache Server, tested with PHP 4.0.6 and 4.1.2 (err, sorry 4 bad english) greets, Lopez ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16516&edit=1
