Function mail() problem...

[Rafal Zawadzki]

Hello again.

Mail() function in my php doesn't work.

I've got very simple script:

<?
mail("bl*****@j abberpl.org","T est","Test");
?>

My php.ini important lines are:

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/poczta.sh
log_errors = On
error_log = /var/log/php.log
error_reporting = E_ALL
sendmail_path was earlier set to sendmail, but it doesn't work so i
tried to debug it.

error log works fine, but it doesn't show any error connected with mail
function.

/usr/sbin/poczta.sh is my script which contains:

#!/bin/bash
echo "mail() function was used" >>/tmp/php_MAIL.log
Anyone has got an idea?

Cheers,

does the script show an error?

If not the mail function is working.

Are you sure the address your sending it to, doesnt have spam filtering on,
and hasn't caught the mail as spam?

This script doesn't create needed file.

What do you mean, it doesnt create the required file?

The one line of code you gave, doesnt tell it to create a file?

Does sendmail work from command line? Does PHP send mail if sendmail_path
not set? Does the postmaster user get the message returned?
#!/bin/bash
echo "mail() function was used" >>/tmp/php_MAIL.log

Does the script print the line? Does the script work from command line?
Does apache user have permission to write on /tmp/php_MAIL.log?

Yes, No, No.

#!/bin/bash

3*Yes.

3*Yes.

I'd say that your sendmain clone doesn't not like the message then. Try the
following:

1) Check return value from mail() function
2) Provide a valid "From" address

Wait, script print the line ONLY from command line.
