Is this on the same machine as your php install? Does the user in which Apache is running as have permission to invoke the sendmail wrapper? -- John C.

The mail() command doesn't care about what sort of MTA it uses, it just cares it knows where it is and how to access it. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Problems with mail function
I have a problem with a standard mail() function. If I put a short message ( test ) into it, then the email is sent. If I put a longer message in (Visitors name and address collected from webpage), then the mail is not sent. No error message is generated, the mail just doesn't arrive.

[PHP] Problems with mail() function
Hello. I wrote a routine that queries a table (Mysql) to pull about 300 records and record their emails. I iterate over this recorset invoking the mail() function to send an email for each record in this recordset. The problem is that on my providers server, there is a big delay before the script end execution. When it takes too long I hit the stop button on the browser, but when I do this the users receive the same email twice. Why is this happening? -- Ivan R.

[PHP] Problems with mail() function
The problems that I'm having with the mail function stem from the extra arguments that I'm trying to pass it. What I'm trying to do is write a script to mail links to interesting stories to other people. In doing this, I want to make the mail appear that it came from the e-mail address of the person who wanted to send the link. So, what I've tried so far is this: $message_subject=This message is a test; $extraparams=From: .$HTTP_POST_VARS['youraddress'].\nReply-To:.$HTTP_POST_VARS['youraddress' ].\nX-Mailer: PHP/. phpversion(); $message=$message_header.$HTTP_POST_VARS['message'].$message_footer; $success=mail($HTTP_POST_VARS['email'], $message_subject, $message, $extra_params) or die(Whoops, looks like mail() isn't configured in this installation of PHP!); The message that I recieve when I run this script has a From: field reading as the user that the script is running under on the web server, and I recieve a blank message body, as well as no subject. I decided to try using the mail() function with just the first three arguments (i.e. the destination address, the subject, and the message body), and it kind of worked, meaning that it sent me a message with the correct subject filled out, and the correct message body, but it was still coming from the same address, the name of the web server user. Can someone help me with placing the correct args in the 4th parameter to get mail() or Sendmail or whatever to send a message with the correct return address and From: field?

Re: [PHP] Problems with mail() function
I had smilar problems before and found out that I missed some \ns. It seems that you missed a \n at the end of headers. That might be a reason. Another solution might be replacing \ns with \r\n. I heard in newsgroups and in some documentations that this might be problem in some systems. I recommend to read the source of message after you get it. It is a nce way to debug problems and gives out lots of information. (correct headres, messages etc..)

Re: [PHP] Problems with mail function
I have the same problem. Mail function works fine on my NT development box, but when I transfer files over to Unix, it doesn't, as if mail goes into the void. The only setting you need on Unix is the sendmail path, no? SMTP and sendmail_from are not required and are ignored, is that correct? stas - Original Message - From: "Colin May" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Kike" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Problems with mail function Quoting Kike (Wed, Mar 14, 2001 at 11:59:32AM -) Hi, I have a seious problem with the mail function.
