 sendmail for the mail() function.

 What can I do to allow the php code to send mail from Windows?  I have
 already tried installing the IIS SMTP service and that has not worked so
 far.  The Windows box is Server 2008 R2 Standard, so IIS is 7.5 with the IIS
 6.0 SMTP component.

Did you update your php.ini on the WIMP/WAMP box to use SMTPm and
to properly configure it for the server?

I modified the php.ini in both the apache/bin directory, and also the php
directory.

Is there some way to get a trace of the code execution?  The SMTP log files
are completely worthless.  They do not show any sort of connection attempt.

You can do a debug_print_backtrace()[1] call right after the call
to mail(), or you can use a profiler like Xdebug[2].  You can also
check the Apache error log to see if anything popped up.  It'll be
more helpful if you have error_reporting set to E_ALL, mind you.  If
you just want to see if mail() is encountering any errors itself, wrap
the call in an `if` condition block:

?php

if (!mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers)) {
die('Call to mail() failed in '.__FILE__.'#'.(__LINE__ - 1).'.'.PHP_EOL);
}
?

[PHP] php mail() and sendmail/smtp

2010-12-02 Thread Michael Crowl



Okay, I know this is a Sendmail/SMTP admin issue, but it's PHP-related 
and I figured someone here might have a clue or might have solved this 
issue before.  I've come into this dev server after many hands have 
touched it, and I'm not quite sure how to proceed, nor am I a Linux genius.


We're using localhost on this in-house CentOS server for mail() with 
sendmail_path, sendmail_from, etc. set properly.  I can get test emails 
sent to me using mail(), but my client can't get any script emails on 
their domain's mail server, which is on hostmonster.


The daemon response emails are stuck in the queue as deferred - and what 
I've found through logs is that they're being rejected by the client's 
mail server because SMTP is sending it FROM 
apa...@new-host.xxx.com, even though that should be overridden 
when using mail() and our ini settings and headers.  So that's a 
compound address of the apache account and 'new-host' which was 
apparently the machine name that was never changed in the beginning.


My mail server apparently doesn't care that it can't do a reverse lookup 
on that non-existent subdomain and account, but the client's does.  
Also, we have Redmine running on the same server, and it sends admin 
emails out just fine - however, I don't think it calls sendmail directly 
like our PHP install, but connects directly to the local SMTP server.


And I have tested a local telnet session to SMTP a mail manually, and 
that got through fine.  So it seems to be how PHP is calling Sendmail, 
or Sendmail itself.


Sendmail is being called as /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i in the ini.

Possible solutions?  I'm a little frazzled and a little undereducated here.

Sounds like a solution to me: connect to port 25 on the mail server
instead of going through sendmail. Plenty of good mail libraries out
there (swiftmailer, phpmailer come to mind).

 Possible solutions?  I'm a little frazzled and a little undereducated here.

Use the under-appreciated fifth paramter in mail() to pass the -f
flag to sendmail, like so:

?php
$to = 'danbr...@php.net';
$subject = 'This is an emample for a php-general request!';
$body = 'This is the body of the email.';
$headers  = From: daniel.br...@parasane.net\r\n;
$headers .= X-Mailer: PHP/.phpversion().\r\n;
$sendmail_flag = '-fdaniel.br...@parasane.net'; // Note the lack of
space between the flag and variable

mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers,$sendmail_flag);

[PHP] mail() + localhost

PHP'ers,

I am sure this would have been asked a zillion times but I take this as my
turn to get some help. I hate to ask such rhetorical questions but quite
couldn't understand how to tweak this.

All I am trying to do is send a mail from my localhost to my Gmail ID. I
read stuff about how the SMTP port should be accessible; should be open et
al. My set-up is very simple:

1. Using Easy PHP.
2. Windows XP

Also, when the comment says that you need to 'configure' your php.ini, which
.ini should I modify? The reason being, I see that file in two locations,
apparently.
(i) C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\apache
(ii) C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\conf_files


*My php.ini (will remove the semi-colon)*
*
*
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP = localhost
;smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = m...@example.com

*My  code: *
*
*
*
?php
*

$from= shreya...@gmail.com;
$to =shreya...@gmail.com;
$subject = PHP Testing;
$message = Test Me;
mail ($to,$subject,$message,'From:'.$from);

Call this in a script running under your web server:

Alternatively, you could also look at these:

You don't *need* to uncomment and set the `sendmail_from` option,

That error message is because you're trying to connect to an SMTPS

(Quick note: per the list guidelines, please don't top-post in

That error message is because you're trying to connect to an SMTPS

 thing resolved at a time.  Change the port to 25 in your php.ini (and,
 again, restart Apache) if plain SMTP is available on the default port.

[PHP] mail command failing

2010-06-29 Thread Mike Wright


Hi all,

I'm very puzzled by this.  I've been using the php mail command for 
years but now I can't get it to work and can't figure out how to 
diagnose the problem.


The code below was copied from the manual (addresses changed, etc); 
php.ini has safe_mode off; binary is at /usr/sbin/sendmail.


?php
ini_set(SMTP,localhost );
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'mike.wri...@mailinator.com');

$name = Mike Wright; //senders name
$email = mike.wri...@mailinator.com; //senders e-mail adress
$recipient = mike.wri...@mailinator.com; //recipient
$body = The text for the mail...; //mail body
$subject = Subject for review; //subject
$header = From: $name $email\r\n; //optional headerfields

$echo = mail($recipient, $subject, $body, $header) ? 'success':'fail';
echo br/br/$echo;

I can access the mail server with /usr/bin/mailx and by telnet 
localhost 25.  I can also send mail using php by using 'exec ( echo 
$body | mailx -s $subject $recipient)'.


php-5.2.29 on fedora10 with apache 2.2.14.  Can this be selinux related?

Any ideas or troubleshooting tips?

Thanks,
Mike Wright

The first ini_set variable you're setting I believe will only work for a
Windows server.

Aside from that, yes SELinux does prevent the mail command from sending
mail by default. I'm using Fedora 11, so I assume it will be similar;
there are config tools for setting SELinux policies, or you could even
turn it off (not advised on a live server). As a test, try turning it
off temporarily just to see if it is the culprit, then you can determine
what policy changes need to be made.

Don't turn it off, set it for Permissive mode. It will both allow the

you can review the logs and make the necessary adjustments.

I can only guess that PHP somehow isn't seeing the sendmail program for
some reason. Have you compared the output of a phpinfo() call on this
system and another where it is working to see if there are any obvious
differences in the server setups?

  Most, if not all, mail servers keep log files. You should look for the
  log files to see if the mail server has sent your mail properly or is
  experiencing problems (those may not feed back into PHP).

  You know where I can find that? I use Evolution Mail, a mail server? I 
  found
  it through Ubuntu yesterday. Here is the link:
  http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/ It asks me to put in the type of mail
  service I used, it grabbed Google, which is smtp.google.com. I still cannot
  send mail. I start to wonder what is going on.
 
  Alice
 

 Evolution is a mail client, not a mail server. Apart from that, you're
 using the 'mail' (PHPs mail function) as the backend mailer in your
 PEAR script - try using smtp instead and pass the SMTP config data you
 normally use. Have a look at
 http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php - the smtp
 part.

 Peter

 If you've got Pear on Ubuntu, can Pear not default to sendmail if no
 SMTP connection is set up?

you have to install the net_smtp package, simply with this command:
$ pear install net_smtp-1.4.2  (which will explicitly install version
1.4.2 of Net_SMTP)

If that doesn't work. for whatever reason, you could download the
package manually from http://pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP/download
and install it by hand; though for reasons I've outlined in a previous
post to this list I'd suggest you use the pear installer.

sending mails in bulk).
 Also there's some rather nice new functionality in the more recent
versions of Mail and Net_SMTP that enable you to log the ESMTP Id of
mails you have submitted to a mail server (along with the SMTP
greeting sent by that server when you connect to it).

 Alice, I never use the PEAR install from my distro, I always download
 and install PEAR into my working folder. The benefit of doing it this
 way is so that when you move your project to a different server, nothing
 will break and you don't have to change anything.

 Sometimes when I create a new project, I'll just copy the PEAR folder
 from an older project to the new one. The only thing you may have to
 change in your PHP code is the path to the PEAR libs only if you don't
 put them in the same place every time.


When some bug is fixed or dependencies of some of those PEAR packages
change I think you'll find your attitude towards that will change -
there's a pear installer so you don't have to update and track the
dependencies by hand - you do regularly update your packages don't
you? It's smart to do so because at the very least you don't have to
implement work-arounds for bugs that have been fixed in later versions
of those packages - and in the worst-case scenario it means you're not
using versions that have PEAR Security Advisories issued against them.

I believe it's possible to have seperate pear config files per project
so you're not limited to having to use the same versions of packages
across all projects.

If you're using more than a handful of PEAR packages in your project
you might want to write your own meta-package for the project; that
way you don't have to install all those packages individually;
you just do something like $pear install myProject.xml and the pear
installer will download and install whichever pear packages you have
described in your xml file.

Details on doing this are at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.users.dependencytracking.php

For the record, this is the example script that I submitted to
http://www.web-development-blog.com/archives/php-mail-scripts-using-smtp-transport-a-guide-for-beginners/
for demonstrating how to use the PEAR packages for sending a mail with
a file attached.:

?php
require_once Mail.php;
require_once Mail/mime.php;

$from = Fred Flintstone fli...@example.com“;
$to = “Barney Rubble barn...@example.net“;
$subject = “Mail Subject”;
$message = “this is the text of the mail, sent using PEAR’s Mail packages.”;
$host = “smtp.example.com”;
$port = “25″;
$headers = array (‘From’ = $from, ‘To’ = $to, ‘Subject’ = $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory(’smtp’, array (‘host’ = $host, ‘port’ = $port));
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime-setTxtBody($message);
$mime-addAttachment(“/home/ken/logo.png”, ‘image/png’);
$body = $mime-get();
$mail = $smtp-send($to, $mime-headers($headers), $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo($mail-getMessage() . “!\n”);
} else {
echo(“Message successfully sent to $to!\n”);
echo “Queued As (ESMTP Id): “, $smtp-queued_as, “\n”;
echo “Greeting From Mailserver: “, $smtp-greeting, “\n”;
}

?

 Most, if not all, mail servers keep log files. You should look for the
 log files to see if the mail server has sent your mail properly or is
 experiencing problems (those may not feed back into PHP).

You know where I can find that? I use Evolution Mail, a mail server? I found it 
through Ubuntu yesterday. Here is the link: 
http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/ It asks me to put in the type of mail 
service I used, it grabbed Google, which is smtp.google.com. I still cannot 
send mail. I start to wonder what is going on.

Evolution is a mail client, not a mail server. Apart from that, you're
using the 'mail' (PHPs mail function) as the backend mailer in your
PEAR script - try using smtp instead and pass the SMTP config data you
normally use. Have a look at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php - the smtp
part.

Is there any need for this line if you are using the Errors-to:  ?
Maybe take it out and see what Errors-to gives you without it.

Well, therein lies the rub, as the Bard said (maybe).
PHP's mail() was built on a general assumption that
there would be a local SMTP server. It supports remote
SMTP, but I'm not aware of any ability to do SMTP auth,
even in the PEAR packages.

You might just wanna read up on mail in general. The
php.net/mail page lists several relevant RFC's, and
has links to most of the PEAR mail classes, etc.

You should definitely read up on live.com's email
configuration. If they use SMTP auth, I'm not sure
you can do this (per above). If it uses, say, POP
before SMTP for authorization, you might be able to
hack something together with the PHP IMAP functions, or
even sockets, but you're getting into a big lotta work
for what seems a small thing.

This is what I am talking about.
Two years ago when I first set up my own server with Linux and not Windows, I
never had to deal with this.
Perhaps the authentication has since then got stricter, but it should not be
so much of a heck of a deal.

I found this doc from ATT's website,
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, so obviously the
smtp server I provided earlier is probably not up to date.

I think I will fiddle around with the php.ini file and see what else is
there.

Well, therein lies the rub, as the Bard said (maybe).
PHP's mail() was built on a general assumption that
there would be a local SMTP server.  It supports remote
SMTP, but I'm not aware of any ability to do SMTP auth,
even in the PEAR packages.

You might just wanna read up on mail in general.  The
php.net/mail page lists several relevant RFC's, and
has links to most of the PEAR mail classes, etc.

You should definitely read up on live.com's email
configuration.  If they use SMTP auth, I'm not sure
you can do this (per above).  If it uses, say, POP
before SMTP for authorization, you might be able to
hack something together with the PHP IMAP functions, or
even sockets, but you're getting into a big lotta work
for what seems a small thing.

I found this doc from ATT's website,
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, so obviously the
smtp server I provided earlier is probably not up to date.

I think I will fiddle around with the php.ini file and see what else is there.
Thanks.

There's no need to edit anything in php.ini, and, since it is pure PHP,
it should work on Windows too, though I didn't try it. It works well on
Linux. Here's the class we used to send mail through Zend_Mail:

?php
class Mail_Send
{
  public function __construct($to_mail, $to_name, $subject, $body)
  {  
$config_general = Database_Config_General::getInstance ();
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail-setFrom($config_general-getSiteMailAddress(),
$config_general-getSiteMailName());
$mail-addTo($to_mail, $to_name);
$mail-setSubject($subject);
$mail-setBodyText($body, UTF-8);
$smtp_host =   $config_general-getMailSendHost();
$smtp_authentication = $config_general-getMailSendAuthentication
();
$smtp_user =   $config_general-getMailSendUsername();
$smtp_password =   $config_general-getMailSendPassword();
$smtp_security =   $config_general-getMailSendSecurity();
$smtp_port =   $config_general-getMailSendPort();
if ($smtp_host != ) {
  if ($smtp_authentication != None) {
$config = array ('auth' = $smtp_authentication, 'username' =
$smtp_user, 'password' = $smtp_password);
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
  }
  if ($smtp_security != NONE) {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('ssl' =
$smtp_security));
  }
  if ($smtp_port != ) {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('port' = $smtp_port));
  }
  if (isset ($config)) {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host, $config);
  } else {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
  }
  $mail-send($mta);
} else {
  // If no smtp host is given, it uses the default sendmail mail
transport agent.
  $mail-send(); 
}
  }
}

?

Hope it works,

PEAR's mail package does support authentication.
http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm

In case you get a Sent Successfully message (but didn't get a mail
in your inbox or spam folder) there is a problem with your SMTP server
configuration. And
 There's no need to edit anything in php.ini, and, since it is pure PHP,
 it should work on Windows too (i tried it and it works)

KK.

I will say mea culpa on this one; apparently I didn't
dig deep enough into the PEAR docs to figure this out.
It's certainly not mentioned on the manpage at php.net,
but, of course, the PEAR stuff is elsewhere.  I read over
the first page linked from the PHP manpage, so it must
have been a lil' deeper than that.  If it's only available
at about.com (lol), I'd suggest filing a PR with the PEAR
folk's documentation team, eh?

But, this time I'll do what I shoulda mentioned before and
include the IANAE disclaimer on all things PEAR, many
things PHP, and some things SMTP.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone's suggestions, I have followed some instructions from
http://www.geeksengine.com/article/install-pear-on-windows.html and attempted
to install PEAR. The problem is, when I do a test page, which only has:

?php

error_reporting(-1);

require_once PEAR.php; ?. utor

It only gives me a blank page, with no errors. Has anyone who succeeded with
using PEAR on PHP can guide me on a good tutorial to read?

Hi Alice,
I have a sendmail script I wrote on my way to learning PHP.
Uses PHP 4 i believe, maybe 5. Wrote it a while ago.
You and anyone else are welcome to use it/modify.

You can reference this php it from multiple forms.
Just specify the form names it should accept and their parameters.
It can also send HTML results with a little modification.

It isn't necessarily set up for mass emailing, but with a little  
tweaking, I am sure you could get it to work.
You can separate the emails with comas , currently and it will send  
to all of them, but if they are in the TO:,

everyone will see everyones email address.
Might set it up to send to your email in the TO: and use the BCC: to  
send to your users.

If you do convert it, mind sharing back?? :))

HTH,

I tried installing the Pear Mail package, it is now located in php/PEAR/Mail, 
and my code is located in the htdocs. Here is the code:

require_once(Mail.php);
$mail = Mail::factory(mail);

$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

if($_POST['submit']==Submit) {
$from = elite.engl...@att.net;
$to =  $email;
$subject = Comments Regarding HH Web Design Studio;
$body = From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n 
Comments:\n $comments;

$host = smtp.att.yahoo.com;
$username = my_user_name;
$password = password;
$headers = array ('From' = $from,
'To' = $to,
'Subject' = $subject);
$mail-send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo p . $mail-getMessage() . /p;

This is what I get: 

Fatal error:  Class 'Mail' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\Alice.Wei\web\mail.php
 on line 30

Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my web folder? How 
can I make sure that my Pear is running?
Thanks for your help.

thats weired...
Mail.php contains the class Mail. So getting a class not found error
is not possible... (require_once stops the script in case it can't
find Mail.php)
 Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my web folder
ensure that C:/xampp/php/PEAR folder is added to your include list
