PHP and sendmail

lost@sea · 09-15-2005, 02:06 PM

I have had php (4.3.4) as well as mysql and apache2 installed and running on my Suse 9.1 professional system for quite sometime. I recently decided to do some things with sending mail from within my php scripts which I have done on various other machines. Unortunatley, I keep getting an error saying call to undefined function: mail() . In my php info it has the sendmail_path listed correctly as /usr/sbin/sendmail. I have tried refreshing from YAST the php install but continue getting the error. The install from yast does not produce a configure script so I can't run that.

Any suggestions on how to get php to understand sendmail would be greatly appreciated.

Are the following conditions from the php manual true:

Quote:

Requirements

For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the sendmail binary on your system during compile time. If you use another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.

Yes - the things you mention are all true.

In phpinfo(), what is the "configure" line shown as?

./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--datadir=/usr/share/php' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--libdir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--with-_lib=lib' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/php/bin' '--disable-debug' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sigchild' '--disable-ctype' '--disable-session' '--without-mysql' '--disable-cli' '--without-pear' '--with-openssl' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2-prefork' 'i586-suse-linux'

Hi :

I'm kind of having a similar problem but in debian+php4.4+apache2, and still no solution.
