ID: 14954 Updated by: mcbridematt@hotmail.com Reported By: jberall@yahoo.com Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: Ah-Ha. Edit the php.ini file in %WINDIR SMTP = mail.xxx.com:25 (add the :25) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-02 06:12:40] mcbridematt@iprimus.com.au This bug also appears under Windows Me Apache 1.3.xx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 03:10:31] ras78@NOSPAMcaltanet.it I've got the same problems. Under Win2k SP2 (italian) then mail function doesn't work. If I config my smtp everything but my localhost or 127.0.0.1 all works fine. If I use Win2K english this problem doesn't appear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-09 17:56:39] jberall@yahoo.com While I get a Warning: Server Error in c:\wwwapache\suddenserv\test_email.php on line 7 when the SMTP = mail.pnang.com when I change the SMTP = mail.pnang.comx I get Warning: Failed to Connect in c:\wwwapache\suddenserv\test_email.php on line 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-09 17:10:07] jberall@yahoo.com The mail() function doesn't work properly. Every so often it does send mail. I tried putting the php.ini in the c:\php\php.ini instead of the c:\winnt\php.ini but that didn't help. I've been at it a while and I've found no solutions on the web yet, while other people have encountered the same issue. PHP.INI has a valid SMTP = mail.pnang.com and sendmail_from = jberall@yahoo.com. The code mail("jberall@yahoo.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"); And the birthday one from the manual. Again the frustrating part is it worked last night. My outlook works perfectly with the same SMTP.
