Mail not working | |
I cannot get php to send an email. This works:
$ mail -s "My Subject" nobrow@gmail.com
My Message
^D
Cc:
[enter]
But this doesnt:
<?php
mail('nobrow@gmail.com', 'My Subject', 'My Message')
or
die('shit!');
?>
I don't know where to look for error messages so I have no further
info. Anyone got a clue?
P.S.
Im using ssmtp, and php.ini contains:
sendmail_path =ssmtp | | | | re: Mail not working

What do you mean by "doesn't work?" As in you never get the mail? As
in the script dies with "shit?" As in you get an error message? | | | | re: Mail not working

No email, mail function returns false, and the die clause kicks in ... | | | | re: Mail not working

Turn up error_reporting and enable display_errors in php.ini. That
will give you any error messages that might be there. | | | | re: Mail not working

Sounded like a good idea but the default values were:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
display_errors = On
so I reckon if there are error messages theyd be displayed ... which
isnt happening.
Is there a php error/message log? | | | | re: Mail not working

On a development machine it should _always_ be
error_reporting = E_ALL
or even
error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
Just as a side note, I can't help with your current problem.

It works from the interactive php shell, so the conclusion is that
this is actually an apache problem, perhaps related to running in a
chroot. | | | | re: Mail not working

The problem was that there was no mail program in the chroot I run
Apache in. Installed one and got it working and alls fine now. Silly
oversight really. | | | | re: Mail not working

BTW, I was talking about it working in "the interactive php shell" ...
