How do I use bashrc to redirect an executable call?

Hi,

I need to redirect a /usr/sbin/sendmail command to $HOME/bin/msmtp .
The sendmail command would be coming from a PHP5 application.

I'm assuming the best way is to use .bashrc, but .htaccess is also available.

The remote server is a shared web host which is running Debian 4.0.

I do not have root access.
I have SSH access.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Add

Code:

php_value sendmail_path /home/georgejc/bin/msmtp

to the relevant .htaccess file, and make sure /home/georgejc/ and /home/georgejc/bin/ and /home/georgejc/bin/msmtp are all executable (for the Apache user at least).

Thanks for the quick reply!

Unfortunately, when I put this in the .htaccess file, it causes a server error.

I assume I can use this, or something similar, inside a php.ini file.
I'll try that next, and post back here with my results.
