php and postfix

diode

Hi,

I installed postfix (www.postfix.org), but when I tried to send mail using
php's mail() function, I got the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() ...

I did a bit of googling, and someone with the same prob was told to
recompile php. So did I, but I still get the error message.
I went to php.net/mail , checked as described the postfix sendmail-wrappers
in /usr/sbin/ and /usr/lib, they are ok..
In Makefile I found:
PROG_SENDMAIL = /usr/sbin/sendmail
so this seems to be ok too..

I did "apachectl stop" & "apachectl start", and did not edit php.ini.

Anybody knows a solution?
Thanks in advance

Hi diode,

Did you ever manage to find out what was the cause of your problem and how to fix it?

Yes I did:

It seems I had to read the output of make install 🙂

I did add this directory to include_path in php.ini:

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php"

.. and it works.
