HELP - Can't change Include Path

[cybervigilante]

I can't seem to change the include path on my local winmachine no
matter what I do. It comes up as
includ_path .;C:\php5\pear in phpinfo() but there is no such file. I
installed the WAMP package and PEAR is in c:\wamp\php\pea r

I modified php.ini in the c:\wamp\php directory to reflect the actual
path, but even stopping and restarting my server shows the c:
\php5\pear path. I can't change it no matter what I do I also tried
the go.pear.bat file to no avail. Nothing works and I can't use PEAR.
Help!!

if you are running php as an apache module then you need to modify the
php.ini that is in the apache/bin directory, this is the apache module
php.ini file. the php.ini file you have modified is for the php-
cli.exe (commandline) php executable.

Okay, I did that. Good idea - wish I'd thought of it.;')
Unfortunately, my prog is still choking on a Pear. Error message is:

Warning: include(Mail.ph p) [function.includ e]: failed to open stream:
No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\tes t\test.php on line 13

Here is my php.ini path for the php.ini in both php and sql dirs:
include_path = ".;C:\wamp\php\ PEAR"

Here is the actual winpath to the pear directory: C:\wamp\php\PEA R

No difference. I'm stumped. Below is the test prog using Pear email,
which did work on the remote linux server and sent me some mail
wihtout the error msgs. Although my gmail acct picked the mail up as
an attachment instead of as html - but gmail is really wierd about
html email. I still haven't figured out what they accept, even though
I get a lot of html email from them, so something must work ;')
Frankly, I may abandon html email as a nuisance, but I need to test
pear with something to see if it works on my home system. If someone
has a simple illustrative test script using pear, that would help
since I can't send email from my home system anyway.

Oh, one other thing puzzled me about the prog below. I saw the html
message, which should be invisible, since it's inside a php code
block. Could be a php error,which brings up another point. I don't see
php errors online, like I do off. How do I make them display online
since that's the only place I have pear working so far, and I need to
see errors.

Just checked Yahoo mail, and the css formatted html came out fine.
Gmail making it an attachment must be a gmail bug, although I'd like
to know how I am getting html email from gmail, then ;')

Also, although the mail arrived, some echo statements I put in here
and there for a simpl trace (since deleted) didn't show up.

try a trailing slash:
include_path='. ;C:\wamp\php\PE AR\'
so that when you stipulate inclue(Mail.php ) they will concatenate to
form
C:\wamp\php\PEA R\Mail.php as required

gmail does accept html mail, provided you do not send a txt
alternative, it prefers to display txt over html.

in your php.ini make sure
#show all errors
error_reporting = E_ALL
or
#show all but coding standards and warning msgs
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
and
display_errors = On
yuo should now see errors

#these are the rest of my ini settings
log_errors = On
ignore_repeated _errors = Off
ignore_repeated _source = Off

the in your scripts make sure you dont have
error_reporting (0);
anywhere


when you say you cant send email from your home, I am assuming that
you mean that the function
mail() doesnt work, unless you really do mean that your ISP blocks
port outgoing 25 TCP connections which is unusual but does happen.
You can get this working even on windows using sendmail.exe which is a
small exe that allows use of mail, and uses an extenal smtp server to
actually do the sending, so you create a mailbox somewhere for the
domain you are running locally. So if you are running www.mydomain.com
you create admin@mydomain. com (probably using a control panel with the
company through which you bought the domain name) and set up a user/
pass, then in your php.ini you have something like this:
[mail function]
sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\sendma il\sendmail.exe -t"

then in that directory, you must have the sendmail.exe and its ini
file:

smtp_server=mx. mydomain.com
auth_username=u ser
auth_password=p ass

If you have no luck with using mail() or Mail.php pear class why not
try PHPMailer which is a great class that handles the connection to an
smtp server directly.

If you want to send an email /FROM/ your gmail account, securely over
SSL, by using phpmailer or sendmail, you must run some kind of proxy
that runs locally and which handles making the connection to gmail,
and exposes a "non-SSL" interface to your php script/sendmail.exe
I personally use stunnel running as a service bound to 127.0.0.1,
now your mail server IP becomes 127.0.0.1, so that the connection goes
to stunnel,
the stunnel.conf will have something like this inside:

socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1
debug = 7
output = stunnel.log
client = yes

[smtpg]
accept = 127.0.0.1:25
connect = smtp.gmail.com: 465
;or connect = 72.14.215.109:4 65 so there's no DNS lookup

(get yourself a certificate pair, and you can even send encrypted mail
to your other geeky friends, and (paranoid?) people who work for large
firms which routinely read your mail; or you can just sign the mail
that comes from your php scripts, which is a nice touch I think.)

you can also use stunnel to ensure you can pick up your gmail msgs
too:

[popg]
accept = 127.0.0.1:9950
connect = pop.gmail.com:9 95

the brilliant thing is you can have more than one copy of sendmail.exe
on your system, each with its own ini file which makes a connection to
a different smtp server, you would then use something like:
$sendmail_exe = 'C:/another/sendmail/sendmail.exe -t';
exec($sendmail_ exe . ' < "C:/body.txt"', $result);
where body.exe is that txt you intend to send via the secondary smtp
server and inside
C:/another/sendmail/sendmail.ini you have secondary server setings for
a new mailbox.

Im not sure why the echo statement did show anything.

final note: when sending html mail remember that using "old fashioned"
html might produce more predicatable results, tables etc... rather
than css. Of course try the css first, but from experience, css can
sometimes be parsed out, or interfered with by it inheriting from the
webmail application's stylesheet. (of course td and so on can also
have styling applied to them, but I'm mainly talking about
positioning.

good luck

Here is php.ini below. phpinfo() says it's in the apache directory,
not the php directory as I assumed, but I corrected the path on both.
I tried adding the extra backslash, but that didn't help. BTW, why is
the php.ini in Apache/bin? That seems a bit confusing. Why is there a
php.ini in the php directory, then? When is one used and not the
other, and why? (Contrary to the system name, my system has never made
any money - just eaten a lot of it. Maybe next year ;')

Did you stop and start Apache after making changes? If you're running
as an Apache extension, the config file is only read at Apache startup.

Ah see I didnt ask you if the files were there, cos I didnt want to be
accused of being patronising!
Unless you are actually going to run an smtp server on your local
machine for the purpose of accepting mail for your domain (not
recommended till you understand the risks), your dynamic IP wont make
a difference at all, you can still contact any server you wish despite
the value of your IP address, so you should be fine. The only issue
you might come across is not being able to set the rDNS for the domain
the email appears to come from, so if you connect to an external smtp
server for that domain that will solve any problems. All should be
fine anyway though unless you are planning on sending a lot of mail.
If you are not sure about the security of your install, and want the
script to be public, consider running a spam/virus proxy like spampal/
avg, which can parse it and filter out the dodgy stuff. Set spampal to
log all mail messages as well and you have an instant record.

Jim,

It can for some people. Some companies block mail from dynamic IP's
because that's the source of a major amount of spam (compromised
home/small office computers). So those won't be able to receive your email.

Otherwise, your outgoing email should be ok. Incoming is another story,
however. It will be fine only as long as you keep your current IP.
Once it changes you won't get email anymore.

There are some services out there which you can sign up for and will
handle dynamic IP's. But personally I found it's just easier to use
your ISP's email unless you have some special circumstances.

hear hear, dont bother trying to fiddle around setting up your own in
and outgoing, unless you are sure your ip changes seldomly and youve
registered with dyndns or the like...
simple use an external mail server to send and recieve, probably you
have one related to the domain you bought, or if not follow the tips
to still carry on using the mail command which then makes a
connection, this essentially turns php into a mail client like
thunderbird... (ie doesnt have any built in way of doing either, but
works via an external service)
As I say you can get very good results using a gmail account and a
tunnel, for security from google back and forth, you can easily set up
encryption and signing with certs and most php apps understand that
windows people dont have mta on their machines so they have admin
settings for external smtp for validation etc... you wont have any
trouble. Stunnel is such a lightweight process... its all good. I have
a static IP and have had good results with mercury and others, but
still prefer an external service.
