 Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2004 5:40 pm Post subject: Mail Function (linux) in PHP |
 |
|
I am trying to get the mail function to work I am getting this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mail() in /www/register.php on line 37
on line 37 I have this:
| Code: | | mail ($_POST['email'], 'Thank You for registering!', $body, 'From: ''.phorum_html_encode('abranaugh@gmail.com').'''); |
I know it has to do with my php.ini file so my quesiton is what shall i put into the php.ini file? I am using Linux by the way.
Thank You
Adam. |

Why do you have 2 double qoutes at the end of the line??? Having a single quote at the beginning and a double quote at the end will result in errors being displayed...

I think the problem is that I just copied it from another forum where I posted the same message but don't get responces until days later, this is what is really on line 37
| Code: | | mail ($_POST['email'], 'Thank You for registering!', $body, 'From: abranaugh@gmail.com'); |
By the way I am using PHP 5 with Apache2. |

I'll direct MoboCop to this thread. He knows PHP a lot better then I do.

strange message mail() is a php function. Not sure how it cannot be defined.

to have it defined you have to have quotes, brackets, etc. in the correct place and the correct type, correct?

I think the reason its not working is because I don't have sendmail set up, I downloaded it from sendmail.org. I don't understand the readme file and how to install it, could someone held me please?
EDIT: Got it installed, should i just leave the php.ini file under sendmail_path blank? what should I put in it?
Don't get the error message anymore, doesnt' send the email though. |

Ok, I am trying it with Kmail now, I can send out of kmail with going to compose but still not sending me any email when I run the script. Here is my php.ini file of the mail function:
| Code: | [mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.charter.net
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =
sendmail_path = /usr/bin/kmail -t -i
sendmail_from = abranaugh@gmail.com
; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters = |

the mail function is defined in php. If you call it wrong you will get missing parameter errors. If you put incorrect quotes you will get a parse errror.
I dont understand the mail() function not being defined. Unless it is perhaps turned off in php.ini? I dont even know if this is possible. Mail function has always worked for me straight out of the default installation.
what errors are you getting now?
