Bug #17322 Updated: mail() fails (501 Syntax Error) under latest CVS

ID: 17322 Updated by: chris@dvdplaza.com.au Reported By: chris@dvdplaza.com.au Status: Feedback Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-05-20 New Comment: Forgot to mention that this error 9/10 causes the Apache child to exit and a new one to spawn and that occasionally an e-mail does get to its destination. Now, I made the change you requested and no more errors are appearing in the error log - HOWEVER it isn't working as you'd expect. Thus far out of around 30 or so refreshes I've only ended up with two e-mails plus the Apache child bombed out a couple of times and respawned.

You're the first who uses the updated win32/mail() code it seems. This error response you get seems really bogus. Can you try to cut down the *exakt* parameters you pass to the mail() function which causes this error? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-20 19:05:19] chris@dvdplaza.com.au Since upgrading to the CVS of PHP 4.3 (HAD to - bug #16626 was causing us chronic chaos and this was the only means to correct it) I am getting the following error each time a script tries to e-mail: PHP Warning: mail() SMTP server response: 501 Syntax Error in parameters or arguments in *SCRIPTNAME* on line xxx PHP 4.3 is running as an Apache2 module on W2K, only additional module loaded is GZIP. Never had any e-mail problems before (other than time stamps on PHP e-mails being incorrect, a long-time known bug). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17322&edit=1
