Hi Tim, in addition to the erratic email sending, the debug messages on Windows for PHP really are, well, non existent. We don't have access to the process log on the box, either. I'm not sure what caused the sending to be erratic, we have subjects and large message body on each email.
Yesterday, on advice of tech support, we moved the modified php.ini file with actual URL instead of "localhost" as SMTP parameter, and placed it in the cgi-bin folder instead of the root. We had some success sending test mails but when we tested the actual code in the app, it was failing again. I tested the same code, only passing in hardcoded strings in place of the querystring values, on my domain server, a Linux box, and it was perfectly fine. The only thing I could think of was that there might be white space around strings passed from the querystring parameters into the email code...so I used trim() around them...still no luck. I give up. We have put in a request to be switched to a Linux box!! > Tim Gales wrote: > > Kristina Anderson wrote: > >> Hi everyone, > >> > >> Well, more weirdness.
