I am having problems with mail(). The problem is that the email just never
gets there. Mail appears to be working. To start, I am investigating the
SMTP server. I can't understand some things.
1) I am sure that the smtp server is and is set to "localhost", but I want
to verify this ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo 'display_errors = ' . ini_get('display_errors') . "\n";
echo 'register_globals = ' . ini_get('register_globals') . "\n";
echo "<br><br>";
echo "SMTP host: " . ini_get("smtp");
echo "SMTP port: " . ini_get("smtp_port");
echo "Sendmail From: " . ini_get("sendmail_from");
gets:
1 1
SMTP host:
SMTP port: 25
Sendmail_from:
Notice: Use of undefined constant sendmail_from - assumed 'sendmail_from'
in /home/
Obviously SMTP is defined (?? because it is not undefined?), but nothing
is echo'd for SMTP. WHY?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then ...
ini_set( smtp, "localhost" );
gets:
Notice: Use of undefined constant smtp - assumed 'smtp' in /home/ ...
SMTP host:
SMTP port: 25
Sendmail_from:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strange, SMTP was defined before ????, and it still won't echo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set( sendmail_from, "<sendmailfrom>@<localhost>" );
echo "SMTP host: " . ini_get("smtp");
echo "SMTP port: " . ini_get("smtp_port");
echo "Sendmail From: " . ini_get("sendmail_from");
$return = mail('<another user>@<localhost>', 'Test', 'Test');
var_dump($return);
and
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set( sendmail_from, "<sendmailfrom>@<localhost>" );
ini_set( smtp, "localhost" );
echo "SMTP host: " . ini_get("smtp");
echo "SMTP port: " . ini_get("smtp_port");
echo "Sendmail From: " . ini_get("sendmail_from");
$return = mail('<another user>@<localhost>', 'Test', 'Test');
var_dump($return);
return
no other errors
SMTP host:
SMTP port: 25
Sendmail_from: <sendmailfrom>@<localhost>
and
bool(true)
Yet NO EMAIL is ever received/returned at the local email address or when
outside email addresses are used, and never when mail() is seemingly
successfully used in a script.
WHY can't I echo the SMTP address being USED? What am I doing wrong?
(Please note that phpinfo IS DISABLED ON MY SERVER BECAUSE IT IS A
SECURITY THREAT)
How am I going to get this emailing straightened out?
