PHP mail() function not working the PHP mail() function is not working. I did some debugging but it won't work. It seems that the mail server accepts the mail, but doesn't mail it. I don't see any errors. if you are using phpBB2 you can turn the smtp function on. it does work then. I guess this is something for psoft to solve...
I tried to fix the mail function. I edited the php.ini file. Do you know the proper configuration changes I need to make? I fixed mail sending with IMP. Is the forum sending the welcome email correctly?
this is what I got in my windows php.ini [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = 192.168.1.2 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = mail@allowee.no-ip.com ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ;sendmail_path = I've also tried using the 'From: ' header but it didn't work..... I got the welcome message correctly I also got mails about your replies...... ________________ Return-Path: <> X-Envelope-To: XXXXXXXXXX X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 X-Spam-Level: Received: from mail.nozonenet.com ([66.227.96.176]) by XXXXXXXXX for XXXXXXXXXXX Mon, 28 Apr 2003 20:45:42 +0200 Received: (qmail 73361 invoked from network); 28 Apr 2003 18:56:05 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO mail.nozonenet.com) (66.227.96.173) by . with SMTP; 28 Apr 2003 18:56:05 -0000 Subject: Topic Reply Notification - PHP mail() function not working To: <> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 18:56:13 UT X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: PHP From: _____________ Maybe this can help you... did you set phpBB to use the smtp function? I don't think that that the mail server will only allow mails from simgames.net
Yes, I had to set it to use the SMTP function because there's no sendmail on the web server. I should probably set up a local sendmail of some kind to fix this problem.
can't you ask psoft what todo? I'll post on there forums.... I'm just a bit bored.... [edit] this is the thread.. http://forum.Psoft.Net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4128
Yeah I had this problem. I could receive email but when I sent email no one would receive it Kevin has fixed it for me now though. Don't know how
That was with the IMP mail system which I simply configured to use the mail server, as it was supposed to. The PHP mail() function is another matter entirely. I promise after I get done with my finals, I'll fix the email.
are you already done with your finals??? it's about 2 weeks now.. and now I got some exams this week..
