[PHP-DB] Re: sendmail
I dont know how to be more specific. It just doesnt work. There is no error. The program runs and sometimes it sends the email and sometimes it doesnt. I've looked at all the log files that I know about and havent seen anything that looks like an email error. Is there any other troubleshooting that I can do to get more information on what I am doing?

Hello Aaron, AT Is there any tweaking with mail()? AT I have it working, but it seems to not always send the email. Mainly one AT right after the other. I filling a web form and then sending the data off AT to my email. But then I do a refresh to clear the form and do it again with AT different data and it doesnt work. Any ideals on this? mmmhhh... REFRESH... maybe you are not calling your script again, and using a cached version of the send page... try this: ?php $fp=fopen(mylog.log,a); fwrite($fp,sending . date(YmdHis)); fclose($fp); mail() ? and look your mylog.log AT Thanks, AT Aaron -- Best regards, Pablo -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It is very likely that the message is being bounced to the return path address, which is set with the mail() 5th parameter. If you are not sure how to do it, take a look at the examples of this message composing and sending class that let you set it using the Return-Path header: http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks to you both...Matt M. and Philip Thompson. Your suggestion of using the mail() function instead worked perfectly.

You should check out phpmailer at sourceforge. It solved all my problems, and will probably solve all yours to. As a bonus, you get a mailer that has a lot of more functions, like attachements and HTML mail and such. -- Kim Steinhaug --- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --- Unknown Sender [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Sorry to be off topic but I have problem with sendmail If anyone know sth about sendmail please e-mail priv.
