RE: [PHP-QA] Win32/mail stuff

Possible, but, I found that windows wouldn't accept a To address of say "Liz Kimber <liz@xcalibur.co.uk>" so.. I had to force it with the extra headers.. Oh, and the code used could have been a full domainised name, ie use liz@xcalibur.co.uk for all of them (bar one from work which wouldn't have worked as it would have to be marlborough stirling) and it would still produce the same results - I promise. Hence, Ive always coded all my systems like it.. And ive seen many a web page saying this was the way to go, thus I really wanted you guys to make it the same all round for unix and windows. I still havent quite worked out why it should be different for unix and windows, OK unix *CAN* run sendmail direct, but, why not just use the SMTP port and make it the same for everyone, reduces code, simplifies all issues etc. If the mail commands' to address can now take "liz Kimber <liz@xcalibur.co.uk>", its probably best to make a big statement.. I agree multiple To addresses are probably correct, but, if the example given was the case I wouldn't expect to see a "liz@xcalibur.co.uk;God" coz God's Email is liz@xcalibur.co.uk it should be recognised as one person.. If I had a windows compiler, Id look at fixing the windows side, I have this 1 p400 I can butcher to my hearts content - actually its my main dev box but I can mess with it within reason. And, personally, the last piece of software I want on it, is visual studio big fat ugly system that it is.. make it compatible with borlands.. I'll try it. Im just tired as I have spent a year writing the purchasing requirement system only to have PHP 4.2.0 break it and now get into a war over whos problem it is, Im trying to prove a point to a (sadly) a company in the top 3 (it might even be first now) in its area, that MS isnt the answer to life the universe and everything. Im not employed there any longer as a programmer but a tech support guy/girl, so Im not really employed for it, nor given any thanks for it. The system was thought of by my bosses boss as a whim, and brought into reality by me and only me. Im fed up with it, and all the crap Ive had to go with it, (one person is strongly against it because she didn't think of it and has put every hurdle in my way she can). I would just like something and someone to help me this time round. Im not even a professional web person, I have tought myself every computer language I know - which is... a lot.. even by most peoples standards (for those who care, and its late, and Im tired so this isnt all but.. C, Pascal, Basic (from true basic, through to VB/VBA/ASP), Xbase (so Dbase, Foxpro, Clipper..) , RPG, CL, JCL, Forth, Perl, C++, ASM just, java some, SQL .....) but at the end of it, Im all self taught. Ive looked at and changed your PHP code before, to make it work for me, ive even changed some of it, as a 1 off while you fix it. Im just an average Joe, like most of you who do all this because I can, however, just like work and for a project I run, so many people don't try they do what they see as their bit and give up.. Well, I feel I have tried, Ive done the tests I was asked. Ive downloaded more things than probably in the last year trying various versions on various machines I could try. So, if you're telling me, I need to write every mail command in my projects, I'll probably cry, but fine.. as long as I know they will work! > -----Original Message----- > From: Melvyn Sopacua [mailto:msopacua@idg.nl] > Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 10:42 PM > To: Liz > Cc: 'Markus Fischer'; php-qa@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [PHP-QA] Win32/mail stuff > > > Liz, > > At 22:55 4-6-2002, Liz shared with all of us: > > >I cant update some of those machines at will..
