Re: [PHP-DEV] [PHP] mail() help (fwd)
This is most likely the patch that 'broke' it; revision 1.121 date: 2001/02/21 07:39:13; author: sas; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2 Instead of assuming that sendmail lives in /usr/lib, if we don't find it, we also check /usr/lib now. PR: #9362 -AC_PATH_PROG(PROG_SENDMAIL, sendmail, /usr/lib/sendmail, $PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib) +AC_PATH_PROG(PROG_SENDMAIL, sendmail,[], +$PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib) I think this is good. If some resource isn't available, then the function using the resource shouldn't be enabled either. So the correct fix would be to add a error message to mail() function, IMO. --Jani On Tue, 17 Jul 2001, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: I am not a fan of that config change that happened in 4.0.6 that checked to see if a sendmail binary is on the path and if it isn't it disables the mail() function at compile time. I really think this should be a simple warning so people can configure php to point to whatever they want, or simply install sendmail afterwards and not need to recompile PHP.

--Jani
The fact that the machine that PHP is compiled on doesn't have a
specific binary often has nothing to do with:
1) what the machine PHP will be *run on* will include
2) what sort of binaries the machine will have tomorrow
A sensible default should be provided, regardless of whether or not
you can set it in php.ini.
As for bumping a warning when sendmail_path is null in php_mail -
that sounds like a good idea. How's this look like?
