Re: [PHP] fedora core 3 mail() not working from web

[Minuk Choi]

The weirdest thing was that there was NO error message.  Even though in the 
php.ini, I set the error reporting to E_ALL, I got no warnings, notices, or 
failures.

I removed the RPMs and compiled the sources and now they work... so I guess 
the problem was due to a incomplete installation of those RPMs off the 
Fedora Core 3 CDs...

Hi,
It could have something to do with your PHP.ini file??
Can you post the error message, as it will give us a better idea of
what could be wrong.

hey gang,
I have a fedora core 3, with standard PHP and MySQL included with the
distribution.
I'm having a rather odd problem.
the following script(mailTest.php)
<?PHP
$result = mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'test subject', 'test message');
if (!$result)
   echo "FAILURE";
else
   echo "SUCCESS";
?>
does NOT work if I access it from the web
BUT
if I were to execute it as root on the Command prompt
php mailTest.php
It executes correctly and I get mail.
This feels like the apache user is lacking access over sendmail or
something... since as root I can execute the script from the CLI without
a problem, but from the web, I get a failure.
Can anyone shed a light as to what settings I need to tweak PHP so
mail() can work?
Thanks
-Minuk
