php, sendmail, works only from command line

[CoralineSage]

hello all,

Ok, I have another instance of php only working from a command line (i
refer to an early post of mine).

I run a very simple script to send email:

<?php
print mail ('test@anyemail .com',
'No need for reply -- PHP test!', /* subject */
"hi John\nLine 2\n"); /* body */
?>

I get a 1 message as a result, which means that the php worked, but I
get no email + no mail log entries...i.e. no trace of the email at
all.

If I run the php from the command line the email gets sent, delivered
and received fine to local users and non-local users.

Any suggestions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sincerely

CoralineSage

Is the configuration for command line and web server php the same?

compare the browser result of phpinfo() with its command line version:
php -i

Check with the server admin that the user the webserver is
running under is allowed to queue mail...

Re: php, sendmail, works only from command line

Guess what it was? I had to re-compile PHP at some point and it added
an extra "LoadModule php" directive in my httpd.conf and that was
causing the problem. Everytime I would restart the server it would
"warn" me that the module was already loaded so it would ignore the
instruction...I had planned to look into it to delete the extra line,
but since it said it was ignoring it I figure I could wait 'till
later.

Anyway, after I removed the extra loadmodule it worked great.

Thanks to both of you for replying! Your time is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Chrys Li
