sendmail not working...

Hello,

I am having a problem with PHP 4.2.2 and RH 8. PHP is working fine except
email.

I have a test script to send mail, I have sendmail_path =
'/usr/lib/sendmail -t -i' set in php.ini, sendmail can send mail from the
command line but if I use the script I get the following error on the http
log file:

sh: line 1: /usr/lib/sendmail -t -i: No such file or directory

as I said sendmail does exist. Any ideas?

Miguel.

Actually /usr/lib/sendmail is a symlink to /usr/sbin/sendmail which in turn
is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mta, which actually has the sendmail
executable, RH sillines that allows you to switch between Sendmail and
Potsfix. But the problem was that send_path="/usr/lib/sendmail -t -i" needs
the doublequotes not single quotes as stated in the documentaton, after that
it worked ok.

Hi I have a standalone machine running Mandrake 10 with apache server and PHP installed. The PHP mail() function is working but very slowly. It takes about 10-20 seconds to send a single email. Can anyone advise me on what could be causing this? I have tried using mail() on other apache setups and the response time has been much faster.

I had a client upgrade his PHP from 4.? to 4.3.9. An important script stopped working. It seems to work fine, but it uses the mail() function and sendmail to send notifications. The email never arrives. The script worked fine before the upgrade. Variables in php.ini seem to be set correctly. The system is Redhat Linux. With the upgrade, a new php.ini file was created, which had far more in it than it did before. Setting all of the variables...

I am writing a program for a study I am doing where I must contact several different organisations stored in a database I compiled, but I need to send each email one at a time so they don't know who else I sent to. I tested my sendmail and it works well, but I am having a problem with chomp in the case I am using it. When getting $email, if I do not say $email\n, nothing will be displayed to the command prompt. This leads me to believe...

I've spent a couple of days on this and I'm to the "bang-my-head 'gainst the monitor and babble in tongues" mode. First - SuSE Pro 9.3, Linux 2.6.11.4-21.7, Apache 2.0.53, PHP 4.3.10 I have sendmail running on the local server - mail from unix (1) mail and mutt work locally on the server. This is, specifically, sending mail to a localhost user or another user off on the net somewhere works fine.

I'm working with a LAMP platform - PHP 5.1.4, MySQL 5.0.21, RedHat Enterprise 4... Running Sendmail 8.x. I'm using the PHP mail() function to send some confirmation emails out when a user submits a form. My understanding is that this is basically a wrapper for sendmail (specifically, sendmail -t -i). In my development environment, this works great. Everything is fast and wonderful.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
