I am not sure what final IP address the mail server is using to send out e-mail but 7 addresses starting with the first 3 parts of the IP were listed as addresses and all showed 0 DNSBL listings and 'Neutral' SBRS. Needless to say no spam is being sent from the mail addresses, since it is used by the server as part of a legitimate client-server program.

It is using the apache user @ your host name as the default. Try this:
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'whate...@wherever.com');
I will try this but I do not understand why it should work. I have a
'From:...' entry in my headers. Why is this not being used as the
primary from address and why is 'nob...@myserver.com' being added
instead as the first from address ? In other words, I can understand if
I supply no 'From:...' header entry that a default 'nob...@myserver.com'
would be used but I do not understand why it is used even when I supply
a 'From:...' header entry.

From: is used by your mail client to show who it's from.
the ini_set (or you can set the 5th param to the mail() function) is a
return-path. If the message bounces (recipient's mailbox full, server
down, whatever the reason) it gets delivered to that address. They serve
different purposes.
Does ini_set actually change the php.ini file in any way ? The reason I
ask is that after putting in:
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'myem...@myserver.com');
into a new script which I tested out against, the 'mail' function now
continues to work but no e-mail is received no matter what the recipient
e-mail is. Even is I go back to using my old script which does not have
the 'ini_set' in it, no e-mail actually gets receoved even though 'mail'
succeeds when called. So I have gone from bad to worse and the ini_set
seems to have affected all calls to 'mail' in this way for PHP scripts
on the server.
Can I correct but somehow stopping PHP ( or may Apache ) and restarting
it again to bring back the original php.ini setting ?

No, it only affects the script it's running in. Comment it out.
Check your mail server logs and/or apache/php logs to see if anything is
going there.
You are correct. The mail server logs showed that a number of outgoing
e-mails had been blocked because of an error. Once the outgoing e-mails
were released I received my e-mail.
It also turns out that the nob...@myserver.com was added to the header
as the Reply-To address, not as a primary From address. I should have
looked at this myself rather than taken the comment of someone else.
I am still trying to investigate why ATT e-mails are not being received
but it may have to do with the outgoing mail server and is being
investigated by my employer. I will wait on any further script changes
until he tells me what is happening with the outgoing mail server.
Thanks very much for your help.

My magical sight into your code reveals nothing.
Why? because I can't see it, I don't have any magical sight, so if you
don't post any code, I don't know what it is.
Now, usually this is simply a designflaw, eg. you have a script like so:
?php
// do something
echo someresponse;
// do something else
// do even more
echo 'form ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data
ACTION=METHOD=POST\ninput NAME=name1 TYPE=file\ninput
NAME=name2 TYPE=text\ninput NAME=name3 TYPE=text\ninput
VALUE=submit TYPE=submit/form';
// do more stuff
?
Probably your code further on doesn't check if you really want to show
it or not, there are 2 ways to resolve this:
1. exit after your response (using eg. die() or exit)
2. surround your form with an if() which checks that you really DO wish
to show it.
But, it might also be something else (though I doubt it), in which case:
Post your code, fool!! ([TM] mr. T)
Here is the code, with names suitable changed to protect actual
functionality of proprietary software:

?php
if ( ! (isset($_GET['z']) $_GET['z'] == 124) )
{
?
script
alert( UnAuthorised Access..);
window.location =ascript.php;
/script
?php
echo UnAuthorised Access..;
exit;
}
function MyExampleFunction($param1, $param2, $param3,$param4=)
{
$param5 = 'Info1' . \r\n;
$param5 .= 'Info2' . \r\n;
$param5 .= 'Info3';
if(SomePHPFunction($param1,$param3,$param2.\r\n\r\n,$param5))
echo SomePHPFunction called for $param1 OK.\n;
else
echo Could not call SomePHPFunction for $param1.\nError:
.$param4.\n;
}
if ($_FILES['AFileName']['name'] == )
{
echo No AFileName.;
exit;
}
if ($_POST['AInput1'] == )
{
echo No AInput1.;
exit;
}
if ($_POST['AInput2'] == )
{
echo No AInput2.;
exit;
}
$AVariable1 = $_POST['AInput1'];
$AVariable2 = $_POST['AInput2'];
$size = filesize($_FILES['AFileName']['tmp_name']);
$fp = fopen ($_FILES['AFileName']['tmp_name'], r);
$AVariable3 = fread($fp, $size);
fclose ($fp);
@MyExampleFunction($AVariable1, $AVariable3, $AVariable2);
?
form ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data ACTION= METHOD=POST
input NAME=AFileName TYPE=file
input NAME=AInput1 TYPE=text
input NAME=AInput2 TYPE=text
input VALUE=submit TYPE=submit/form
---
The code takes to input fields and a single file upload,
calls the MyExampleFunction, which calls the SomePHPFunction
successfully. The SomePHPFunction is a function in one of PHP's
libraries.
The response comes from the:
echo SomePHPFunction called for $param1 OK.\n;
statement, plus
form ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data ACTION= METHOD=POST
input NAME=AFileName TYPE=file
input NAME=AInput1 TYPE=text
input NAME=AInput2 TYPE=text
input VALUE=submit TYPE=submit/form
I have no idea why all the form data is being appended to the response.

Because you haven't included any conditions to test whether or not to
output the form, nor exited the script before the form is parsed. Pick
one or the other.
I do not understand what you mean by your first statement above when you
say 'you haven't included any conditions to test whether or not to
output the form'. Am I not 'responding' to the form in my PHP code based
on the input parameters to the form in my PHP code ? I also do not
understand what you mean by 'nor exited the script before the form is
parsed'. Does not the script 'exit' when the PHP code reaches the ending
'?' tag ?
As I understand it the PHP code, in between the '?php' and '?' tag, is
there to process the form, in essence responding to a request on the
form. Is this incorrect ? In my PHP code the 'echo' statement sends a
response back for the request. Is that not correct ?

yes, you can do that.
In my case I am using the form data just to process the request and
not to be sent back to the client, especially as a form itself is not
a complete HTML page.
You could also conditially display it, like so:
?php
if(isset($_GET['something']) $_GET['something'] == 'something else') {
// do something with the data
} else {
?
form.../form
?php
}
?
or perhaps like so, by setting a flag:
?php
$processed = false;
if(isset($_GET['something']) $_GET['something'] == 'something else') {
// do something with the data
$processed = true;
}
// lots of stuff going on here
if($processed === false) {
?
form.../form
?php
}
?
OK, thanks ! In my case I never want to send the form back to the client
since it exists only to handle an HTTP POST on the server side.

[PHP] Using $_GET for POST
In handling an HTTP POST request I came across some PHP code, which I
need to modify for my own purposes, which has code like this:
if ( ! (isset($_GET['x']) $_GET['x'] == 20) )
{
// Do something by returning an error
}
Can this ever be correct when the form looks like:
form ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data ACTION= METHOD=POST
input NAME=SomeFile TYPE=file
input VALUE=submit TYPE=submit/form
?
Is the $_GET possibly being used to check for an 'x' parameter being
passed in the query part of the URL ?
I am fairly new to PHP so I am trying to understand how $_GET differs
from $_POST. Thanks !
