Resolved: More on PHP 4.0 Bug #6742 Updated: mail function fails

Hi all At last I have realised what has been causing my mail problem . I was running the script via the command line and having no joy. I then realised that it worked via a web browser. Anyway, it was simply that, via the command line, my PHP.INI file, which was placed in the WINNT folder was being ignored. The -c option fixed it. What has kept me fooled all this time was that it worked ok on every other platform except W2K server without needing this option. And yes WINNT *is* in my path. Anyhow, live and learn, I guess and a BIG thanks to ALL those who offered various suggestions. I fele a bit silly for not trying this before. At 21:37 21/11/00 +0200, you wrote:

However, so I have just discovered, if I load this script as a web page in a browser, it runs OK !! Can anyone explain why this script may work via a web browser but not via PHPEd or the command line? Hmm..are you sure your php.ini gets read when you try to run it from the command line ? Try adding -c/path/to/phpini/ to the command line. Like this: # php -q -c/www/conf/ < mailtest.php --Jani
