Bug #16922: Mail()

From: jtjohnston@courrier.usherb.ca Operating system: N/A PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Mail() mail() should allow an optional smtp specification, such as: mail("nobody@aol.com", "the subject", $message, "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME", "smtp.aol.com"); I have received all sorts of suggestions on how to by-pass this, and I have come up with a few myself. But I still feel smtp should be a command in mail(). Not that Perl was the end all and be all, but it can, so why shouldn't PHP? PHP was developed by those who felt Perl ASp etc were antiquated. This was just a small thing that still could be useful ? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16922&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16922&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16922&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16922&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16922&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16922&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16922&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16922&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16922&r=submittedtwice
