[PHP] mail() function on Windows (WAMP Server)
I'm in the process of helping some developers port their php application from Linux to Windows (I know, string me up from the flag pole later). I have setup WAMP and everything is working fine with the exception of the mail() function. The code was originally developed on Linux and leveraged 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? -- /Daniel P.

And lastly, are you certain you edited the correct php.ini file? If accessing the script via the web, check out the Configuration File Path and, specifically, the Loaded Configuration File entries in your phpinfo() output. -- /Daniel P.

Re: [PHP] mail() function on Windows (WAMP 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);
}
?

Thanks Daniel. I will suggest that to the developer and see if we can get
some useful information to further the troubleshooting process.
