mail() function once more

[Anon]

Hello, I have a problem with mail() function
I have a site: kit-group.com placed on a hosting company.

There is a line in httpd.conf:
php3_sendmail_path /bin/sendmail
This path EXISTS

I need to send mail using mail() function.
In my php3 script there are lines:
$to="[e-mail]";
$subj="testsubj";
$msg="testmessage";
mail($to,$subj,$msg);
This [e-mail] EXISTS

But in Netscape I have this message:
kitgroup... Recipient names must be specified HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 10:09:48
GMT Server: Apache/1.3.4 (Unix) PHP/3.0.15 X-Powered-By: PHP/3.0.15 Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

And mail() does not send any mail.?????

Can anybody explain what is wrong, please.

Sergey,

I assumed you used phpInfo(); to check for

Sendmail Path...to sendmail: /bin/sendmail -t

If you did not, run phpInfo(); and see what you get back.

Sergey,

Got your mail -- you said:

Thank you for attention.
Yes, I used phpinfo()
My site is plased on hosting company
There are two values:
1-Master Value="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
2-Local Value="/bin/sendmail"
In httpd.conf old value for
php3_sendmail_path was "/bin/sendmail"
new value I have set is "/bin/sendmail -t"

But I have got this message:

Syntax error on line 653 of /www/conf/httpd.conf: php3_sendmail_path takes one argument, Full path
to sendmail binary

From IP Address: xx.xxx.22.79
From Browser: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; DigExt)

In httpd.conf, instead of:
"/bin/sendmail -t"

try this:
"/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"

The -t flag runs a syntax check in sendmail's configuration files.

I am in a little over my head on this one -- hope an Apache expert can help. Sergey, you may want to post this in the "Install Forum".

Not sure if it was fixed in 3.0.15, but mail() used to not function correctly unless you supplied the fourth argument, even if it was empty.

mail($to,$subj,$msg,"");
