Problem with mail() and popen().

[Anon]

Try use in php3:
mail("[e-mail]","Test","Test string");

But nothing has happened. No error message nor email received. (Return TRUE).

Then i try use:
$fd = popen("/usr/sbin/sendmail -t","w");
fputs($fd, "To: [e-mail]\n");
fputs($fd, "Subject: Test\n");
fputs($fd, "Test string\n\n");
pclose($fd);
...
But nothing has happened. No error message nor email received.

Then try use
echo ($fd = popen("/usr/sbin/ssss -t","w"));
pclose($fd);
And php3 write "3" (file descr. - all ok, but /usr/sbin/ssss not exist)

Please, help me.

Try going to the shell, su nobody (or whoever the webserver is running as) and type sendmail. Chances are you don't have /usr/sbin/sendmail suid, so as root do chmod +s /usr/sbin/sendmail, then check your php.ini and find the section [mail function] and make sure that sendmail_path is not commented out and is set to /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i ... hope that helps

Thanks, Chris.

Problem was in the permitions.
I have changed permitions for Web-user, and all work (and popen(), and mail()) !
