you have not compiled php/mod_php with support for the mail function it seems, what version of php are you running?

[PayableOnDeath]

am using php 4

with config

./configure \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--disable-debug \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-inline-optimization \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-mm=shared \
--enable-safe-mode \
--enable-track-vars \
--enable-trans-sid \
--enable-wddx=shared \
--enable-xml \
--enable-sockets \
--with-dom \
--with-gd \
--with-gettext \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-regex=system \
--with-xml \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib

Thanks

try ./configure --help to see a list of possible flags, there should be one like

--enable-mail

or something of the like, I know that in gentoo you need the proper USE configured, so it is a compilable option

Cant find an enable mail in the ./configure --help

buggerrr, Alright, I'm gonna go sift through the php docs, and see what I can't dig up, can you also check to see what your mod_php was configured with?

I know this is a little 'Chicken or Egg"ish, but if you could get a copy of squirrelmail or phpBB, they both have nice configuration checkers in squirrelmail its /apacheroot/squirrelmail/configtest.ph p and the install script in phpBB i think test for mail functionality. Might give us a little better idea of where to look.

hi

Dont have mod_php have a mod_php4 thou am guessing its the same

and was do with the following config

./configure \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--disable-debug \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-inline-optimization \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-mm=shared \
--enable-safe-mode \
--enable-track-vars \
--enable-trans-sid \
--enable-wddx=shared \
--enable-xml \
--enable-sockets \
--with-dom \
--with-gd \
--with-gettext \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-regex=system \
--with-xml \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib

I was talking to someone and they said to install sendmail and recompile php I have done that and have re started apache but still not working

Thanks

Maybe, this link would help
http://in.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

This is the documentation of the mail() function from php.

Also, there is one more thing that you could check - is the mail() function disabled in your php.ini?

There is a directive in php.ini - disable_functions - which takes a comma-separated list of function names.

This is what my php.ini says:

; This directive allows you to disable certain functions for security reasons.
; It receives a comma-delimited list of function names. This directive is
; *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.
disable_functions =

; This directive allows you to disable certain classes for security reasons.
; It receives a comma-delimited list of class names. This directive is
; *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.
disable_classes =

As you can see, there is disable_classes too, if you plan to use some SMTP-related classes (like those from PEAR) and they've been disabled

hi

will have a look at that link

my php.ini is the same as your with nothing disabled

I just did a phpinfo file and it showed up

sendmail_from       no value
sendmail_path        /usr/sbin/sendmail 
serialize_precision  100 
SMTP                     localhost
smtp_port              25

so it must be picking up something to do with the mail

could it have something to do with zend Optimizer? I have it installed aswell should have said about in the first post but just remembered about it

Thanks
