sendmail_from has no value?

@JayMApr 11.2005

I’m trying to adjust my [Mail Function] properties in php.ini . For sendmail_from entry I put “~~[i]~~sendmail_from = ~~[email]~~[email protected][/email][/i]” . Then when I open phpinfo() in my browser, it tells me that sendmail_from has no value. I tried restarting my apache server, and also tried restarting my computer and it still gives me no value. Anyone have any idea why this is?

@phpnoviceApr 11.2005 — #I'm unsure of this syntax:

"sendmail_from = [email][email protected][/email]"

Where are you specifying this?

@JayMauthorApr 11.2005 — #This is in my php.ini file. The reason i'm doing this is because i'm making a 'contact' form. I was told that you need to edit your php.ini file if you plan on using the mail() function. In the php.ini file, there's two fields I have to edit:

1. smtp = local host (which must be changed to my ISP outgoing mail server address)

2. sendmail_from = [email][email protected][/email] (sorry. I put localhost!)

[B]Is the above necessary if I am using the contact form on a website? Or is it only necessary if I plan on running it on my local server?[/B]

@phpnoviceApr 11.2005 — #This is in my php.ini file.[/QUOTE]
Try this syntax:

sendmail_from = "[email protected]"

To my understanding, it is never "necessary". It is only [u]useful[/u] if you plan on using PHP's built-in mail handling abilities to send mail from your server.

hmm... Odd. I have uploaded the contact form to my site and tried it. Everything works fine except I don't receive an e-mail from the user. Perhaps I should post my script in case something's wrong with it? I have tried to make it as simple as possible to begin with to ensure everything works fine.

@phpnoviceApr 11.2005 — #Perhaps I should post my script in case something's wrong with it?[/QUOTE]
Sounds like a plan. ?

@JayMauthorApr 11.2005 — #Ok, here it is.

[code=html]
 
 <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#666666">
 <font face="verdana" size="1">
 <form method="post" action="sendmail.php">
 Your Name:<br>
 <input type="text" name="name" style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; background-color: #ffffff;"><br><br>

 </form>
 </font>
 
 [/code]

sendmail.php file:

[code=php]
 <?php
 $name = stripslashes($name); 
 $email = stripslashes($email); 
 $subject = stripslashes($subject); 
 $message = stripslashes($message); 
 
 mail('[email protected]',$subject,$content,"From: $name <$email>"); 
 header("location:/thankyou.html"); 
 
 ?> 
 [/code]

Here it is. I hope something's wrong with this script because this form is driving me insane! :o

@phpnoviceApr 11.2005 — #First trial to see if your PHP-level is the problem:

[code=php]<?
 if (mail('[email protected]',$subject,$content,"From: {$name} <{$email}>")):
 header("location:/thankyou.html"); 
 else:
 header("location:/mailerror.html"); 
 endif; 
 ?>[/code]

Performing variable substitution in a string may require braces as shown above.

@JayMauthorApr 11.2005 — #The [I]else[/I] statement was a good idea. Before it was always directing the user to thankyou.html, and it did not give us a clue as to whether or not it was actually working. I tried the code above, and it kept taking me to mailerror.html (which doesn't exist, but the principle is there). The script is still not working at the moment though.

@phpnoviceApr 12.2005 — #The script is still not working at the moment though.[/QUOTE]
Give details as to exactly what you are observing and exactly what is "not working".

@ne3ro0Apr 12.2005 — #hello everyone, i have the same problem though, i am not able to recieve the mail which i send in my contact form? but the PHP script im using has no error at all when i tested it in the hosted server which resides my site. the site is hosted in a free PHP web host for testing and its not in my local? some others say about my problem is i must edit the PHP.ini. how can i edit this one? and what am i gonna do?

@JayMauthorApr 12.2005 — #Actually, here's a link of the actual form. http://www.edida.com/form.html . I am still not receiving any mail, and it is redirecting to "mailerror.html" rather than "thankyou.html". It displays no errors in the process though.

@ne3ro0Apr 12.2005 — #[B]JayM[/B]

i think we have the same problem about the email that suppose to recieve was not recieving at all. am i right? but the difference was that the script directed me to the thanks page after i click the SEND button. not into the mailerror.html, but still i dont recieve the mail. how can i configure the PHP.ini in the server which my site is hosted?

@JayMauthorApr 12.2005 — #ne3ro0,

Yeah I believe we have the same problem. I have put a link for you to check out how to configure it in your post. Apparently, it is not necessary to configure it though. I'm puzzled. I will wait for rescue ?

@ne3ro0Apr 12.2005 — #? , i just posted a reply in my thread to your reply post. ? , me too needs what you also need.

but btw, i really confused in the article you've given me, i still dont get it. i tried to make the php.ini in the root directory of the server which resides my site. and the server didnt accept the file cause it says i uploading a bad extension file. ? ?

? ? ? ?

@phpnoviceApr 12.2005 — #A useful article on sending MIME email with PHP:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/kartic20000807.php3

@phpnoviceApr 12.2005 — #Found this, too:
I recently had to spend a lot of time finetuning a function for mail() which would work properly on both Linux and Win32 server. Here's the wrapper function, which should solve all (or most) of the common problems that beginners run into:

[code=php]function send_mail($myname, $myemail, $contactname, $contactemail, $subject, $message) {
 $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0n";
 $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1n";
 $headers .= "X-Priority: 1n";
 $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Highn";
 $headers .= "X-Mailer: phpn";
 $headers .= "From: "".$myname."" <".$myemail.">n";
 return(mail(""".$contactname."" <".$contactemail.">", $subject, $message, $headers));
 }[/code]

This has been tested with both Linux (qmail) and Win32 (ezmts) mail servers, and worked perfectly well. Note that the two headers "X-Priority" and "X-MSMail-Priority", can be left out - but they will help overcome some of the more aggressive spam filtering systems (hotmail, yahoo mail, ...) and ensures your mail is delivered.

Also note that you should use n for new lines in the body of your message - not r or rn ... these don't work on all mail servers, but apparently n does.

Finally, here's an example of using the function, sending an email from "the company" to "the customer":

[code=php]if (send_mail("Company", "[email protected]", "Customer", "[email protected]", "This is a test", "This is a testnOne two three fournBlah blah blahnThis is a test!")) {
 print "SENT!";
 } else {
 print "FAILED!";
 }[/code]

@JayMauthorApr 12.2005 — #Hey phpnovice,

I appreciate the help. If I could trouble you (or anyone else reading) with one more thing, if you can possibly write a very short html form that would work with this? I'm trying to write one, but the script above has too many variables so i'm confused as to what to put and what not to put. Thanks

@bokehApr 12.2005 — #First: You don't say if you are using a windows machine locally but I must assume you are as that line in php.ini only applies to windows machines.

Second: Did you load PHP yourself? Was it individual or part of a package. Packages sometimes have more than one php.ini file but only one is used (i don't know what the others are for). For example XAMPP has a php.ini file in /xampp/apache/bin as well as one in /xampp/php. Do a search to make sure you don't have multiple copies too.

Third: sendmail_from does not contain quotation marks.

Mine works and reads as follows:

; For Win32 only.

sendmail_from = [email][email protected][/email]

Fourth: Sendmail for windows only works with mail servers that do not requiere authentication (email password). As Most ISPs would requiere a password to send mail it will not be possible to send using your ISP mail server. The way I got around this was to install a local mail server which does not requiere authentication from machines specified in it's config.

I personally think the place to start is making sure the php.ini file you are editing is actually the one being used.

Just one last thing: No ISP is going to let anyone upload there own php.ini file for use on a shared server.

@JayMauthorApr 12.2005 — #I don't need the form to send mail to others, I need it so that visitors can send me an e-mail directly through the website.

Jay, you are talking double dutch to me! You started the tread saying I'm trying to adjust my [Mail Function] properties in php.ini .[/QUOTE] You need to give a run down of exactly what you want. Also where is it being hosted, local or ISP? Linux or windows? etc?

Here are the basics:

email.php

[code=php]
 <?php
 $to = 'your email here';
 mail ($to, $_POST['subject'], $_POST['message'], "From:$_POST['email']");
 ?> 
 [/code]

Here is the form:

<div id="">

<form action="email.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">

<fieldset id="fieldset">

<label for="name">Contact name:</label>

<input class="form_elements" id="name" type="text" name="name" />

<br />

<label for="email">E-mail address:</label>

<input class="form_elements" id="email" type="text" name="email" />

<br />

<label for="subject">Subject:</label>

<input class="form_elements" id="subject" type="text" name="subject" />

<br />

<label for="comments">Comments:</label>

<textarea class="form_elements" id="message" name="message" cols="19" rows="5"></textarea>

<br /><br />

<br />

<label for="submit"></label>

<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Send" />

</fieldset>

</form>

</div>

And here is some CSS for the form:

label,input {

display: block;

width: 175px;

float: left;

margin-bottom: 10px;

}

label,select {

display: block;

width: 175px;

float: left;

margin-bottom: 10px;

}

label {

margin-left: 0px;

text-align: right;

width: 175px;

padding-right: 50px;

}

br {

clear: left;

}

@bokehApr 12.2005 — #The mailing method on the website you specify has nothing to do with PHP. It is just a mailto: link written as follows:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]" title="">[email protected]"</a>

Using that method the email is being sent directly from the client's email program.

@JayMauthorApr 12.2005 — #Jay, you are talking double dutch to me! [/QUOTE]

Sorry for the confusion, bokeh. I did start the forum regarding the php.ini file. That was because I thought I had to edit that file in order to receive e-mail through a FORM. But then I was told "it is not necessary" to do so. I'm on a Windows OS. The form is being hosted on my webspace on godaddy.com .

I know how to do an html mailto: lol. That's not what I wanted. I will try the form you wrote and see if it works. I wrote one similar to that at first, but I wasn't receiving the e-mail. I will test it out and see what happens! Thanks.

@ne3ro0Apr 13.2005 — # but I wasn't receiving the e-mail. [/QUOTE]

try this simple code send to me by someone who cares with our problem

save this as mail.php blah blah blah at the same directory ?

[CODE]<?php 
 $from = "From: " . $from;
 mail($to, $subject, $body, $from);
 ?>[/CODE]

then save this HTML code as the file name u want in the same direcrtory:

mine is mymail.html :p

[CODE]<html>
 <body>
 <form action='mail.php' method='post'>
 To:
 <input type='text' name='to' />
 <br />
 From:
 <input type='text' name='from' />
 <br />
 Subject:
 <input type='text' name='subject' />
 <br />
 
 Message: <br />
 <textarea cols="50" rows="15" name="body">
 </textarea>
 
 <input type='submit' value='Send' name='submit' />
 
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>[/CODE]

the savior says, if this code does not work in your server, change your hosting. LOLS, ? , just kidding. He told me that the problem is not in the code but in the server. The server disable the mail() function. so thats why we dont recieve emails during testing of the form.

Wow, after a struggle that I thought would never end, it worked. I just had to go to my php.ini file and turn register_globals off. Thanks phpnovice, bokeh, and everyone else who helped ?

@phpnoviceApr 13.2005 — #I doubt your entry in your [b]php.ini[/b] file made a difference. What was said previously is that [b]register_globals[/b] was probably [b][u][i]already[/i][/u][/b] set off and [u][i]that[/i][/u] is why your code wasn't working. Thus, the code I posted merely contains the changes needed to get around the fact that [b]register_globals[/b] may already be set off.

Create a page on your site that has nothing but the following in it and, then, call it up in a browser. In that page, you will see the setting for [b]register_globals[/b] (under the PHP Core Configuration settings). Find it and tell us what it says.

Hmm... do what phpnovice has said. Also, what web hosting company are you using? There are companies that do not allow certain functions. For example, GoDaddy.com does not allow the mail() function. You would have to use the asp CDONTS script to substitute it. Ask your webhosting company if they allow mail() . I will not stop until I solve your problem as well ? .

Edit: If you do not care what scripting language to use for the form, I can write you a form using ASP. I know it works because I have written one for a client before.

@ne3ro0Apr 14.2005 — #ahhhh.. busy days!!, i just read the forum. damn company bills, im force to pay them off coz' its already due... hehehe... ?

i know the CDONTS is ASP, before im using ASP for form mails and i do not have problem at all. but i merely appreciated for sharing the help.

my personal project is in PHP coz' i want to learn doing PHP on my personal websites. About the server im hosted. it was just a free server, i do not have that kind of money to host my personal website in a NON-Free Hosting sites. My site is in EPINOY.COM. its a Free PHP/MySQL Hosting. i already send messages to there support i think 5 times asking about there features in mal() function. but there just ignoring my mails. poor guy... ?

I will not stop until I solve your problem as well [/QUOTE]
You are so kind to others, God bless you. ? ? , your help were really much appreciated. ?

BTW, im going to try this in a page, i thought this code was in a file called php.ini, coz' when i do create the php.ini in my local machine and save it in the directory of my site. i tried to access the localhost in my browser and suddenly i cant run my website through local, then when i delete the php.ini it back to normal:

[CODE]<?php 
 phpinfo(); 
 ?> [/CODE]

im gonna post later whats the result of [B]register_globals[/B] here.

[I]one thing, do i have to upload the page contains that code in the server which my site is hosted or in my local machine?[/I]

@ne3ro0Apr 14.2005 — #[I]one thing, do i have to upload the page contains that code in the server which my site is hosted or in my local machine?[/I][/QUOTE]

i did the same, and guess what, im amaze seeing that PHP configuration file. ive learned something.

First, i tried the page in my local machine, then search for the [B]register_globals[/B], and knowing that it was set to value OFF.

Secondly, i tried to upload the page which i called register.php in the server which my site is hosted. and the [B]register_globals[/B] is turned ON.

What now? ? ?

@bokehApr 14.2005 — #Put the following in a file with a .php extension and upload it to your server. Don't forget to fill in your email address. As there are no variables in this script you don't need to worry about register globals for the time being, only the ability of your server to send mail. Call the script using your web browser and then come back and let us know the outcome.

[code=php]
 <?php
 error_reporting(E_ALL);
 if (mail ('[email protected]', 'Subject: This is a test', 'Body: Testing, 1, 2, 3')){
 print ('Mail sent');
 }else{
 print ('Mail not sent');
 }

@ne3ro0Apr 15.2005 — #[B]bokeh[/B]

i did what you instruct to me. i tried twice with a different email address, the first one is my email add to my company were im working and the other is in yahoo mail account. but i stil dont recieve an email in both accounts. ?

and BTW, the message that prompt in the browser when i run the page is "MESSAGE SENT", but still dont have the email that suppose to send by the script.

@bokehApr 15.2005 — #Yahoo runs a very strict filtering policy so it might be that. I don't know about the other ISP as you don't say who it is. For Yahoo mail to work, the email must pass an an SPF test (check of DNS TXT record) and also return a match for the DNS PTR record and the sender must match too.

So it could either be a filtering problem or a problem with the mail server hosting your domain. It is not a problem with php. If the script returned 'Mail sent' php is managing to communicate with your host's mail server. As my mail server will accept pretty much anything you could try sending a test email to me so we can see where the problem is. Change the email address in the script to [email][email protected][/email] and if it works I will post the result here.

@ne3ro0Apr 18.2005 — #[B]bokeh[/B]

Thanks for the help, im sorry if it took so long to check the forum. I already tested it, the test email add that you have given me. Just post if you have recieve the test email alright?

Thanks a lot.

@bokehApr 18.2005 — #I did not receive anything. I personally think you should take up this problem with your ISP as there is nothing wrong with the scripts you have used.

@ne3ro0Apr 19.2005 — #do you think its my ISP has the problem and its not the server which my site is hosted?

@bokehApr 19.2005 — #ISP (Internet Service Provider). If you are not hosting locally you must be using a server provided by an Internet Service Provider.

@phpnoviceApr 19.2005 — #[list]

@grailquester5Apr 27.2005 — #Ne3roO,

Some ISP's disable both PHP's "mail()" and Perl's "sendmail" functions. Who is your web hosting provider (the place where your PHP script resides with the "mail()" function you're having trouble with)?

@ne3ro0Apr 27.2005 — #my website is hosted in www.epinoy.com, i also contacted there support a weeks ago but it was not answered yet. bout the ISP provider of my DSL connection, like what i've said earlier, they didnt know what im talking about..

@grailquester5Apr 27.2005 — #I don't think your DSL provider would be able to help you, anyway. That's not really their domain - as long as your internet connection is working. ?

I just checked the epinoy.com site - in the support forums there are 2 unanswered posts regarding PHP's "mail()" function, and a couple of remarks in some other posts by epinoy's "administrator" which lead me to question his knowledge/ability level... The "features", "terms", "support" and "faq" sections don't mention anything about Perl, PHP, sendmail or mail(), and those are usually pretty commonly mentioned...

@ne3ro0Apr 27.2005 — #yes!!!.. thats what i also checked in the site.. but i cant leave epinoy, has 100mb of space and 1,000mb monthly bandwidth and its totally free.. for 15 years.. ? , so what am i going to do? do u have suggestions bout a free PHP hosting which its PHP mail is working. i just want to upload i think 3 - 4 pages there so my forms will work.

@grailquester5Apr 29.2005 — #That's a new one for me - haven't seen it before. Very odd that epinoy would have Perl's sendmail active and PHP mail() disabled. Makes NO sense to me. If it were me, I'd change hosts...

@bokehApr 29.2005 — #I don't really know. Try this:

ini_set("sendmail_path","/usr/sbin/sendmail");

Maybe I'm wrong saying that's only a perl path! I don't know too much about Linux/Unix.

The real truth though is your ISP in my opinion could be more helpful.

@bersantDec 18.2008 — #Hi guys ,

I have the same problem here , im not receiving any email with the different form mails that i use on my server .

I have a System Windows NT W 5.2 build 3790 with IIS on it and PHP installed .

The sendmail_from is set to no value though i have edited php.ini and restarted iis and my whole server. But the thing doesnt seem to change at all. I want to ask for help how can i edit it so the mail function to be enabled.

P.S i have installed smtp server on it too but it doesnt send any email when i use smtp software like AMS 4.3 . In php.ini it is also set to localhost although i have edited it to the ip of my server where smtp is installed.
