Re: [PHP-DB] mail() and sendmail configuration
Jason, Thanks for the suggestions. In regard to your question, no. A simple mail() invocation without the attachment does not work, hence my sense that the problem is the sendmail config. I'm in the process of checking the logs and will repost if anything looks promising.

[PHP-DB] mail() and sendmail configuration
Good Morning,
This post is somewhat OT -- please forgive me. I've spent over 3 days
trying to get sendmail configured and I've lost some patience and
reasoning ability in the process.
I have a Linux (RH9), Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4, MySQL GUI that creates a
PDF document on the server for web access. We would also like to have the
document emailed to several folks within the company. So I essentially
have to get the PDF attached to an email and routed to our SMTP server. I
have webmin installed and have tried to use it to configure sendmail. When
I execute /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail status --- Linux says that sendmail
is running.
I'm using this method for creating emails with attachments (which was
posted on the PHP-WIN list several months ago ), but it is failing:
The file was successfully sent!";
} else {
die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try
again!");
}
?>
I've examined the content of the variables in this expression (from above)
[[$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers) ]] and
it looks ok, though I'm no expert, so I'm guessing that the problem lies
within the sendmail configuration. Webmin has loads of config pages for
sendmail, and I admit that they're overwhelming right now. It seemed to me
at first a relatively simple task to have an email created on the server,
and forwarded to our SMTP server for delivery, but I was obviously naiive
in this assumption. If anyone has suggestions or knows of helpful links or
tutorials, I'd be deeply obliged.
Thanks for reading this long post.
David
