ID: 25862 Comment by: roguedragon at merging dot org Reported By: thouraud at bondy dot ird dot fr Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: solaris 9 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment:
PHP version 4.3.6 / Apache 1.3.29 on FreeBSD Having the same problem listed here, but I recompiled php & apache without the --enable-sigchild flag, restarted everything, and mail() is still returning false even though the mail is going through correctly. Any suggestions? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-14 17:53:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] When PHP is compiled with --enable-sigchild the return codes of executed programs are lost. Once of those programs is sendmail, since PHP cannot fetch the return code it assumes the program had failed. Hence the always FALSE return value of mail(). Normally mail() returns false only when communication between PHP & sendmail fails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-14 13:05:24] thouraud at bondy dot ird dot fr Without the --enable-sigchild configure option, it seems that mail() alwayes return TRUE. Even if the mail server returns an "unknown error" with a false email, or an "No recipients specified" with a blank first field of mail(). Is that normal ? When mail() returns FALSE ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-14 11:13:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Okay, try removing the --enable-sigchild configure option and reconfigure/compile PHP. (don't forget to delete config.cache before reconfiguring!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-14 10:44:48] thouraud at bondy dot ird dot fr the configure line is : ./configure --with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs --prefix=/opt/apache --with-config-file-path=/opt/apache/conf --with-mysql --disable-debug --enable-trans-sid --with-oci8=/opt/oracle/product/9201 --enable-dbase --enable-safe-mode --disable-magic-quotes --enable-sigchild --enable-ldap --with-zlib=/opt/sfwplus --enable-mbstring --enable-mbregex --enable-zend-multibyte --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-exif --with-jpeg-dir=/opt/sfwplus --with-png-dir=/opt/sfwplus --with-tiff-dir=/opt/sfwplus --with-gd --with-iconv --with-pgsql=/opt/postgres ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-14 10:34:18] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What was the configure line you used to configure PHP? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
