Maybe on this page there should be a column for OS. Also in "Programming PHP" from O'Reilly, there isn't any reference to it being Windows only. It was clear that sendmail_from was Windows, but not SMTP itself. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php Thanks for being on top of things. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-03 13:22:39] [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From php.ini-dist: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost From: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php SMTP Used under Windows only: DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP should use for mail sent with the mail() function. I'm curious where you even found the SMTP ini option since both of these places have documented their Win32-only nature for some time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-03 09:53:09] anelson at mlis dot com Ok, I just wanted it documented, since there is no information anywhere else. In the end, modifying the sendmail configuration is the better method. I did try this on multiple machines pointing to multiple SMTP servers to no avail. Also, there is no fix in the changelog to 4.3.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-03 09:48:01] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. It\'s windows only... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-03 09:46:30] anelson at mlis dot com Description: ------------ By adding the line: SMTP = 64.90.xxx.xxx where xxx is more of the address, the mail() function still uses localhost. I've seen some stuff about these variables working only on windows. Is this true. Otherwise, there is no error message or anything. Seems like the variable just does nothing. Reproduce code: --------------- </usr/local/lib/php.ini> SMTP = 64.90.xxx.xxx Expected result: ---------------- I expected to have the mail try to go out through the SMTP server specified Actual result: -------------- The mail went out from localhost ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24484&edit=1
