Re: php mail function not work from apache,but work well from command line

The issue is that when you do this through the CLI you are running as a normal user. When you call this script/page via a browser it's running as the httpd server. On my centos-6.7, php-5.3.3 (you should really upgrade) system the latter approach is being blocked by selinux. Did you run the: sestatus -b | grep sendmail command as suggested earlier? When I do I get: httpd_can_sendmail off on my centos system, with selinux "enforcing". When I disable selinux, sending via the browser call to the script works. I.e., there are no bugs here -- just a system configuration issue. If you aren't seeing anything on these (both success and failure) in your maillog I suspect that you aren't looking at the correct log. You need to make certain that you are looking at, and taking actions on, the correct environment.
