ID: 11184 Updated by: sniper Reported By: alragom@yahoo.com Old-Status: Feedback Status: Closed Bug Type: Mail related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.5 Assigned To: Comments: No feedback. (and works fine for me) Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-30 06:20:29] sniper@php.net Is the /usr/sbin/sendmail a regular file or a link? Check the main/php_config.h file for HAVE_SENDMAIL define. If it is not set, edit the file and add this line: #define HAVE_SENDMAIL 1 Then just do 'make ; make install' and same for Apache and you should be able to use mail() again. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-30 01:24:22] alragom@yahoo.com PHP was configured with the following : ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-xml --with-openssl=../openssl-0.9.6a --with-gettext --with-apache=../apache_1.3.20 --enable-track-vars --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-imap=../imap-2001.BETA.SNAP-0105251616 --with-imap-ssl This is the simple mail script I used to test the mail() function : <?php $mail_to = "alragom@yahoo.com"; $mail_subject = "PHP test mail() "; $mail_body = " i hope that this mail() function works ! n"; $mail_body .= " this is supposed to come on the second line n"; $mail_body .= " and this on the third line n"; if (mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_body)) echo "Successfully sent the email "$mail_subject" to $mail_to ."; else echo "Failed to send the e-mail "$mail_subject"." ; ?> I using qmail 1.03 so I used the sendmail wrapper, the only change made to the default php.ini file was this : sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t Upon running the above mentioned script, I get the error mail() is not supported in this PHP build on line 9 Failed to send the e-mail "PHP test mail() ". Therefore I tried recompiling php-4.0.4pl1 and installing it, and was able to run the same script with no errors ! I hope that this problem is resolved. Thanks a lot !
