Bug #14972 Updated: Setting 'sendmail_path' leads to PHP not find sendmail

ID: 14972 Updated by: markonen Old Summary: Setting 'sendmail_path' leads to PHP not find sendmail Reported By: fuerst@mac.com Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: MacOS 10.1.2 (Darwin 5.2) PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Okay, I just need to learn to read better. The problem is that php only supports enclosing php.ini parameters in double, not single quotes. So "sendmail -t -i" should work fine. The configuration page in the manual should probably mention this explicitly, but I think it's quite clear as- is. I'm correcting the example in the ini files and closing.

In real: My intranet domain is named unusual so I want to set the envelope sender to something real by using the '-f' switch. Some smtp servers outside will return an error like "domain unknown" if the envelope sender domain is named incorrect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-21 03:35:46] mfischer@php.net A note to the submitter: since sendmail_path defaults to 'sendmail -t -i', leaving it out should be ok for you. I'm opening this, because the PHP.INI clearly says: ";for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is 'sendmail -t -i')" Either way, it is a bug (doc or something else) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 18:33:55] markonen@php.net sendmail_path is only for setting the path to the sendmail executable. You can't set command line parameters for sendmail with it. To supply command line parameters, use the fifth parameter to the mail() function, documented at http://www.php.net/mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-10 11:55:05] fuerst@mac.com If 'sendmail_path' is set in the php.ini like this: sendmail_path = 'sendmail -t -i' I get the following error in the Apache error log: zsh: no such file or directory: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i If I run /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i manually from the zsh it works but if I surround it by quotation marks I get the same error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14972&edit=1
