#29276 [Com]: Cannot properly send mail via SMTP from PHP 5, but can from previous versions

ID: 29276 Comment by: mpurdy at vicnet dot net dot au Reported By: Austin519 at aol dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows XP SP1 PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: I have the same problem under Windows 2000 professional. If I use php-win.exe I can send an email without any problems. However php-cgi.exe and php.exe produce and error which is Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in e:\http\mail.php on line 4 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-20 11:57:08] Austin519 at aol dot com Description: ------------ I am currently running PHP5 with Apache 2.0.49 and an open-source shopping cart solution OsCommerce (www.oscommerce.com). The OsCommerce email function is a standard one (I won't paste here) that sends standard or MIME emails depending on what you choose for it to send. Running PHP 4.3.1 I had no issues sending email, however after successfully upgrading to PHP5, I now receive an error. As I said, the email function is nothing deviating from most of the general working functions posted on the web. My php.ini lines that it would be referring to are below (edited out my domain name): [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = mail.mydomain.com smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = myemail@mydomain.com Reproduce code: --------------- The specific line the error below refers to is here: return mail($to_addr, $subject, $this->output, 'From: ' . $from . $this->lf . 'To: ' . $to . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $this->headers) . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers)); The entire email function is here: http://www.modsp.com/email.php.txt Expected result: ---------------- Emails are processed and sent to recipients. Actual result: -------------- Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in \path_to_storefront\email.php on line 500 (edited out full path to storefront) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29276&edit=1
