re:
1) Could you tell me how to do that ini_set thing? I tried a few
variations with the php/cli/php.exe command line, but couldn't figure
out what you meant.
2) I did do the php/cli/php -i and it also displayed the same things;
i.e. 'sendmail_from => no value => no value' and 'SMTP => localhost =>
localhost'

Two things:
1) does ini_set('SMTP', 'smtp.aethiamud.org'); work?
2) does the cli binary also not display these values? (run:
path\to\cli\php -i)

Although I have found a few existing threads with this problem, none
seem to address the core issue. Basically, the "[mail function]"
section of my php.ini file is NOT being read at all! When a forum
script I was using gave me an error when it tried to send an email to a
newly registered user, I tried every solution I could think of, then
every solution I could find at php.net and using google. I then tried
my phpinfo.php page (http://www.aethiamud.org/phpinfo.php), which
basically just contains the line:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
And this is what it listed for the mail function entries:
sendmail_from no value no value
sendmail_path no value no value
SMTP localhost localhost
I then checked my php.ini file (which is in my windows directory,
properly named), and here is what it says:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.aethiamud.org
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail
-t -i").
;sendmail_path =
The only solution I could find related to the php.ini file somehow not
being read at all. That was my first thought, so I tested that theory
by changing the 'register_globals' setting from 'off' to 'on', then I
restarted the webserver and reloaded the phpinfo.php page. Lo and
behold, register_globals changed from 'off' to 'on'. Therefore, the
php.ini file IS in the right place, and it IS being read. However, the
[mail function] section does not appear to be. My email server is
configured and functioning properly, and works with the cgi-bin version
of sendmail just fine, so that can't be it either.
I'm fresh out of ideas here! Is this a bug, or just something that I'm
not seeing? Any help you could provide would be very much appreciated
:)
