php script behaves differently when it run in command line

[rchen8080]

I found that the php script behaves differently when it run in command
line rather than runing over web server.

Program includes the code like

<?php

function send_email($fro m_address, $to_address, $bcc_address,
$subject, $msg, $attachments,$r eminder_id) {
$headers = ...;
....
mail($to_addres s, $subject, $msg, $headers);
...
}

#main body of code here to grap info from database and call
send_mail() function here
...
send_email($new arry[FROM_ADDRESS], $newarry[TO_ADDRESS], $newarry
[BCC_ADDRESS], $newarry[SUBJECT], $newarry[BODY],$attachments,
$newarry[ID]);

?>
I can not use lynx since it doesn't support https on my machine.
The values are from database and feed in send_mail() function which
will form the body message and header and pass to php mail()
function. The problem is that "mail($to_addre ss, $subject, $msg,
$headers)" can not access the values passed over to it when i use
'php' command to run the script. But I can use 'print' to print out
all the values but mail()function just can't get them.
However, this program works fine when I use broswer to access it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

That's right. Differences include access to $_SERVER variables and
different PHP settings.

It's hard to tell anything from your code. Try to isolate the line that
doesn't behave properly.

To begin with, find out if this code does work:
<?php

mail('your@emai l', 'Test', 'Test');

?>
