Re: [PHP4BETA] mail() doesn't work : bug ?

I'm not too familiar with FreeBSD's system call tracer, but try something like this: truss -f ./php -f testscript.php 2> trace.out Then you can look for "exec" in strace.out and see if sendmail is exec'ed and what parameters it gets, or if it fails. - Stig On Tue, 9 Nov 1999, Olivier Cahagne wrote: | Hello, | | This is weird, the mail() function does not seem to work either with | PHP-4.0b2 compiled as a module or with PHP-3.0.12 compiled as CGI. | Symptom : I never receive mail although mail() returns 1. | | Both ini files have sendmail set to /usr/sbin/sendmail -t (I also tried | /usr/sbin/sendmail).
