Anyway a PHP doesn't output anything if you don't use any output functions (echo, print, header functions) Interesting. And useful. Learn something new, etc. I just tried this out and not only does it work as described, I think I just found a replacement for straight perl (I'm much more comfortable with PHP than perl). I also just tried some simple stdin stuff with it and it does what it should. So I'd have to ask what exactly you're doing, what exactly is happening and what were you expecting to happen?

They asked if there was a command to turn off the html output produced (I believe he is talking about the header information that php sends) -q will accomplish this..

Re: Mayor problems with .qmail!
If your PHP is sending errors or warnings then there is something wrong with the code. If properly written NO HTML will be shown with the -q flag.

Re: Mayor problems with .qmail!
If proplerly written, no html will be shown even without the -q flag. At the same time you can use @ infront of any error returning functions (like calling a database which could be unavaliable) The @ turns of error messages. // Halfdan Sean C Truman wrote: If your PHP is sending errors or warnings then there is something wrong with the code.

Re: Mayor problems with .qmail!
Is this too simple of a solution? Wouldn't you need to send the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then qmail will deliver it to your user account and then see the .qmail-robot file and act accordingly.
