Old Summary: Remove the "To:/Subject:" headers if not entered
Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Mail related
Operating System: RH 7.x
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
The "Return-path" is set by sendmail and not PHP, so there is no need
to fix this as it not concerned to PHP at all.
So to fix the mail() properly the php team need to enable the headers
to control everything like the "To:" header
Regarding Daniel opinion I don't think that mail() should be canceled
and everything should pipe to sendmail.
Less code is much more easy to handle, and the code will be easier to
transfer from one server to other.
to make the code perfect imho the "To:" & the "Subject:" headers should
not be mandatory as the first/second argument in the mail() function.

The strength of PHP is to give people functions which they can use,
without understanding the mechanisms behind it. Why not just obsolete
set_cookie() ? You could do this manually with header() (the code
doesn't even get longer, you just have to pay attention how to format
the cookie-parameters).
yes, you could even obsolete mail() and leave it up to the user to
either open a pipe to sendmail (un*x) or connect to an SMTP server
(windows).
there are dozens of core PHP functions which can be replaced by an
equivalent piece of code IN PHP. but this "feature richness" just makes
PHP so popular.
why tempnam()? you could write this very elegantly in PHP, too:
do {
$tmp=substr(md5(microtime()),0,8);
}
while(file_exists($tmp));
I hope nobody disagrees with setting this to "bogus".
Kind Regards,
Daniel Lorch

I also noticed and maybe im wrong that the mail function replace the
"Return-path:" header that i inserted with
Return-path:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
if so this should be fixed too

mail command accept:
mail ($recipient, $subject, $message [, string additional_headers]);
all good.
But when I construct all the mail from headers I don't need to supply:
$recipient, $subject, $message as they all exist in the headers.
So I do:
mail ("", "", "", $headers);
The problem is that even when I write the "To:" header in the headers
another empty "To:" appear next to it.
So for maximal flexibility I think that $headers suppose to override
all other fields.
